The French competitors at that time were the Peugeot D3A/D4B and the Citroën Type H (Ref. Heller 80768). In Germany, VW offered the bus with a rear engine. Ford had the Taunus-Transit with an aesthetic very similar to the Estafette, front-engined and rear-wheel drive. The Estafette was based on the Citroën's front-wheel drive system, which thus offered a large, flat loading area, four independent wheel suspensions, a sliding side door and a three-leaf rear door. It was initially produced as a delivery van with a payload of 800 kg, from 1965 with 1000 kg, with a flat or high roof and a short or long wheelbase. Produced in more than 500,000 copies by 1980, the Estafette became a symbol of its time.
