The Citroën G Van was an experimental small truck developed by Citroën in 1948, designed as a compact counterpart to the H Van. It was equipped with an enlarged 475 cc variant of the 2CV flat-twin engine. Its front suspension mirrored that of the 2CV but incorporated dual suspension arms, utilizing torsion bars both at the front and rear.
This model never progressed to mass production; instead, Citroën opted to implement the 2CV drivetrain in the AZU/AK series, which had lower volumetric capacity. Only one example of the G Van remains and is exhibited at Conservatoire Citroën, The Private Museum located in Paris.
Type HG
In 2020, the Italian coachbuilder Caselani introduced the Type HG body kit for the Citroën Jumpy van, drawing inspiration from the original G Van’s distinctive vertical grille, large headlights, and ribbed body panels. This kit is available for passenger, crew-cab, and panel van variants of the short-wheelbase Jumpy, which is powered by a 100-horsepower four-cylinder turbo diesel engine.
Created in collaboration with Citroën and officially licensed by them, Caselani has also developed body kits reflecting the designs of the H Van and 2CV models.
