Heller Citroen HY + Goods Trailer

The Citroen Fourgon Type H was a delivery van used by many industries and craft businesses. It was also utilized for delivering farm products, and with a trailer, even more products could be transported to customers or to the market in town. The Type H could carry 1200 kg of cargo with a volume of 7.3 m³. It was designed by Pierre Franchiset, after whom it is named; the "H" signifies that it was the eighth project of this kind developed by Citroën, with "H" also being the eighth letter of the alphabet. It was introduced to the public in 1947, and during its long production run (34 years), more than 473,000 units were built. Farmers and many other sectors utilized the Citroen HY, as they almost always had something to transport, whether it was wood, cobblestones, hedge or grass clippings, tools, or machinery. The trailer could be towed by small transport vehicles as well as tractors, making it ideal for everyday use. The side-mounted tie-down hooks allowed the load to be secured with ropes or straps. Suitable sideboards and a rear gate quickly transformed the vehicle trailer into a reliable helper.
