Some history
- In the mid 1940s and as Europe was recovering from the catastrophic consequences of World War II, Citroen started developing a practical, strong, durable and technologically advanced light commercial vehicle to cover the ever-increasing needs of the growing market. The Citroen Type H, unveiled at the 1947 Paris Motor Show, wasn’t just ahead of its time but also set the standard for modern vans with its innovative design.

The development of the Type H started in 1943 as the evolution of the short-lived TUB (1939-1941) and TUC (1941) vans which were produced in low numbers due to the war. Finally, Type H production commenced in June 1948 at the French city Javel, almost a year after its debut in Paris. The LCV was based on a unitarian construction with torsion bar suspension, instead of the traditional body on frame architecture with leaf springs which was the standard for both commercial and passenger vehicles at the time.




Borrowed from the flagship Citroën Traction Avant (1934), the 1.9-litre engine (producing from 26kW to 38kW) and the three-speed manual gearbox were positioned ahead of the front axle (cab-forward design). Power was sent to the front wheels making it the first mass-produced front-wheel-drive van in the world. Even though its top speed would hardly reach 80-100km/h, the monocoque architecture, unusual suspension setup and hydraulic brakes allowed for great cornering ability, while the rack-and-pinion steering made it easier to manoeuvre around town.

Responsible for the design of the Type H was Italian car designer Flaminio Bertoni (1903-1964), the same man whose illustrious portfolio includes the Traction Avant (1934), the 2CV (1948-1990), the DS (1955-1975) and the Ami 6 (1961-1978). In order to reduce costs, the LCV used many parts from existing models in the Citroen range.



In its standard form, the Type H was 4.28m long, 2m wide and 2.34m tall, and weighed 1300kg. Despite its compact dimensions, the futuristic layout allowed greater cargo space than any other vehicle of its size (around 7.3 cubic metres). Thanks to the independent suspension, the lack of a transmission tunnel and the monocoque architecture, the loading floor sat very low at just 35mm above the ground and was completely flat.

In a vintage brochure, Citroen states that one could fit two cows, 8-10 pigs, 25-30 sheep or 6-8 calves inside a Type H - obviously, ethical treatment of animals wasn’t a thing back then, but you get the point. At the same time, the double floor could support the weight of a horse. Standard payload was 1200kg but depending on the derivative it could vary from 850kg to 1600kg.



Among the best design features of the Type H and the one that distinguished it the most from its competitors is the three-piece rear door, with the upper part offering protection from the rain. The front doors were hinged at the rear, allowing passengers to easily enter the cabin using the integrated steps.

Inside the cabin, driver and passenger had access to adjustable seats, heating and ventilation, with a practical drawer in the middle of the dashboard for extra storage. At the passenger side of the van, there was a sliding door which gave access to the cargo compartment and made the Type H profiles asymmetrical. In typical Citroen fashion, there was a hidden spare wheel inside a special compartment ahead of the rear fenders. From 1969, the rear wheels received a more stylish boxy cover replacing the old circular fender.
