Classic Citroën bus en route

This Citroën U23 Autobus with a 1911 cc 4-cylinder petrol engine was produced in 1936 by Citroën S.A. (France).

The U23, or Type 23, was a light (2-ton) truck introduced by Citroën in 1935 and in production until 1969. Different body styles were available: flat body, tarpaulin body, tipper, van, bus and tractor.

Although the engine cowling and front body appeared similar to the Citroën Traction Avant and Rosalie, the U23 had rear-wheel drive, so no front-wheel drive like the Traction Avant.

 

Deze Citroën U23 Autobus uit 1936 met 1911 cc 4-cilinder benzinemotor is geproduceerd door Citroën S.A. (Frankrijk).

De U23, of Type 23, was een lichte (2-tons) vrachtwagen die in 1935 door Citroën werd geïntroduceerd en tot 1969 in productie bleef.

Er waren verschillende carrosserievarianten beschikbaar: platte laadbak, laadbak met dekzeil, bestelwagen, kipper, bus en trekker.

Hoewel de motorkap en de voorkant veel weg hadden van de Citroën Traction Avant en Rosalie, had de U23 net als de Rosalie achterwielaandrijving, dus geen voorwielaandrijving zoals de Traction Avant.
