The Citroën Type H in fire service The Citroën Type H debuted in 1947 at the Paris Motor Show and quickly became one of the most recognizable commercial vehicles of the 20th century. Its distinctive corrugated sheet metal body, inspired by the legendary Junkers Ju 52 aircraft, was the models hallmark. Thanks to its low floor and front-wheel drive, the Type H performed excellently in narrow city streets.
