The modern world has an incredible trend towards an increase in the number of people living on the globe. China alone already has about 1.6 billion people. Such a development of the population requires the development of not only industrial and social sectors, but also transport infrastructure. A large flow of people must be quickly transported from one point to another. Minibuses have gained wide popularity around the world, which are able to accommodate a large number of people, as well as deliver them to their destinations on time.
What is a minibus
This is a vehicle that includes up to 16 passenger seats. This car differs from buses in smaller dimensions. And from minivans - spaciousness.
History of the development of this transport
The first sketches of minibus concepts date back to 1914, when Alfa-Romeo first thought about ways to travel by taxi. The city of Detroit picked up on this idea. And, having brought it to life, in 1935 it began to be mass-producedStout Scarab, which helped to significantly ease the traffic situation in American cities.
In 1950, most of the holdings of the then world began to produce this new product. One of these companies was the concern Citroen. "Citroen" (minibus) was produced until 1981, and his name was Type H. He enjoyed great success due to its spaciousness and durability. In the Soviet Union, the history of minibuses began with the universally recognizable RAF-2203, which was operated for an extremely long time.
Modern Development
Citroen made a significant contribution to the production of minibuses, as described above. Their models have become not only popular all over the world, but also won universal recognition and respect from most car enthusiasts.
Many concerns are now engaged in the production of this type of transport: Mercedes, Volkswagen, and even Fiat. But none of them can compare with the quality of a Citroen car (minibus). This is due to the fact that the company began mass production of cars in 1934. As then, they were surprisingly cheap and easy to maintain. Despite this, the passenger car of this company had an original design, was extremely easy to operate, undemanding to maintain, and also had minimal gasoline consumption. "Citroen" (passenger minibuses) were produced with the same parameters. Even though the increase in volumeengine power and increased passenger space.
Citroen (minibuses): lineup
The range of cargo and passenger minibuses of the concern is not inferior in number to cars. Moreover, the company has a great variety of concepts and developments, which can be found on their official website.
"Citroen" (minibuses) lineup (car photos are presented in the article) offers a fairly wide range.
Advantages of Citroen passenger vans
"Citroen" (minibus) endowed by the company with the following parameters:
- Wide and roomy body, which has a modern design. This is manifested in the smooth lines of the body, the original headlights, the proportionality and harmony of the elements among themselves.
- Equipped with powerful diesel engines ranging from 2200 to 3000 cubic centimeters and up to 130 horsepower. This allows you to carry a significant number of passengers without changing the dynamics and handling of the car.
- Orientation for passenger and cargo transportation can be traced in the reinforced car frame, the strengthening of the suspension (most often pneumatic in the rear), and other leading elements that must withstand significant loads.
- The interior has not only a concise and eye-pleasing finish, but also increased comfort. "Citroen" (minibus) can have from 8 to 15 passenger seats, depending on the model.
- Latest electronicsallows not only to carefully monitor all the actions taking place under the hood, but also to ensure driving comfort for the driver of the vehicle. The standard list includes emergency braking systems, anti-lock and stabilization systems, as well as increased traction when climbing up. Differences can be seen in minibuses with different equipment and year of manufacture.
- Vehicle consumption per 100 kilometers in the city does not exceed 9 liters, and in highway conditions - no more than 7. The volume of the fuel tank is about 90 liters, which allows you to fill up a minibus and forget about it for a long time.
Citroen (passenger minibuses) are subjected to rigorous endurance and reliability tests. One of them is the use of the car until it reaches the mark of 4 million well-traveled kilometers. This allows us to guarantee each customer high quality products and their durability.
