Kimwe n'ikirango ubwacyo, ikirangantego cya Citroën cyahujwe no guhanga udushya, gushushanya, kwinezeza no kwinezeza hafi ikinyejana. Ariko "amaguru abiri" V bisobanura iki nyuma? Muri make, ikirangantego kigereranya ibikoresho bya bi-helical - yego, nibyo - byakozwe kandi bikoreshwa na injeniyeri Andre Citroën, washinze ikirango cyigifaransa. Reka tumenye inkuru birambuye?
Ikirangantego cyigifaransa cyavutse mubuhanga bwa Andre Citroën. Mu Ntambara ya Mbere y'Isi Yose, injeniyeri yubatse intwaro ingabo z'Abafaransa; nyuma, nyuma yintambara, Citroën yabonye uruganda mu ntoki, ariko nta bicuruzwa byatanga. Mu Giportigale cyiza, hari icyuma, ariko nta foromaje…
Kugeza mu 1919, injeniyeri w’Abafaransa yahisemo gutangira gukora imodoka, ahereye ku bwoko bwa A A gakondo.Izina ryabonetse - kimwe n’abandi bakora inganda nyinshi, isosiyete yakoresheje izina ryuwashinze. Indangamuntu igaragara yagumye gusobanurwa, hanyuma amahitamo arangira ari chevron ebyiri (ibikoresho byahinduwe "double V" -ibikoresho, bikoreshwa mubikoresho bya gisirikare na dinamos) byavumbuwe na Citroën mumyaka mike ishize.
Ariko ibyo sibyo byose: imigani ivuga ko ikirango kiranga umuhungu wa André Citroën, wazize Intambara ya Mbere y'Isi Yose. Ntabwo ari impanuka ko kuri bonnet ya Citroën iyo ari yo yose dushobora kubona imipaka isa niy'umwanya wa gisirikare (ibiri inverted V's), urwibutso rwumuryango rwakomeje kugeza na nubu. Ariko, iki kintu nticyigeze cyemezwa.
Nyuma y'impinduka zimwe na zimwe mu myaka yashize - icyagaragaye cyane ni ukumenyekanisha ingurube yera mu 1929, nkuko mubibona ku ishusho hejuru - mugihe cyo kwizihiza isabukuru yimyaka 90, muri Gashyantare 2009 Citroën yerekanye ikirango cyayo gishya. Hamwe na chevron-eshatu-ebyiri hamwe nizina ryikirango ryanditse mumyandikire mishya, Citroën irashaka kwisubiraho rwose, ikomeza imbaraga nigihe kigezweho kuva kera.
