Pepeot bikes

Much earlier cars in Russia appeared bicycles brand Peugeot, or, as they were then called, bisciles. The first began to sell them, to the enormous pleasure of the "pedaling" public, someone A. Averst, who kept the bicycle warehouse and a store in St. Petersburg at the corner of the Simeon street and Fontanka in the house number 1-32. Advertising this commercial institution is often found in Russian sports magazines of the late XIX century. It was worth cars, depending on the model and configuration, from 175 to 230 rubles and, apparently, enjoyed our compatriots popularity. This is evidenced by at least the fact that in 1898 trade of Peugeot biscoles was produced not only in the capital, but also in other major cities of the Russian Empire. Over time, not only bicycles began to be delivered to Russia, but also Peugeot motorcycles. They were sold to the same addresses and under the same conditions as the bisciles, however, a pledge under the preliminary order was no longer 50, and 100 rubles

The era of a car

At the very beginning of the 90s of the XIX century, the Russian Empire entered the community of automotive powers, with all the ensued consequences. Gradually, the number of cars in the country grew. In 1898, the first store traded by cars and motorcycles was opened in St. Petersburg. And since the tone in the automotive business was asked French producers, then the establishment is, of course, was French. She belonged to Cleman-Gladiator-Phube.
In 1900, a new section "The importation of cars and their parts" appeared in the customs statistics of Russia, in which it was noted when, how many and what machines were imported into the limits of the Empire. Thanks to the preserved customs documents it is clear that the leading suppliers of motor crews in our country were France and Germany. So began in Russia the era of the car

Military cars

Taking cars to Russia, Peugeot did not remain outside the interests of official government circles. When the military department in 1912 decided to conduct a test mileage of passenger cars, wanting to identify the "most suitable samples for army needs", Peugeot cars were among the participants and showed well.
In the same year, a cargo test mileage took place, the purpose of which was the selection of cars suitable for use in army parts. Peugeot sent two cars for tests. These were three-ton machines equipped with 22 liters with four-cylinder motors. from. Shortly before the start of the war, the car has experienced a military uniform.

Automotive exhibitions in Russia

The center of the automotive life of Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century, undoubtedly was the capital of the empire - St. Petersburg. There were many cars through the streets of the city, and many major European and American plants considered it necessary to keep their shops and representative offices there. It is not surprising, therefore, that the first in Russia, a specialized car exhibition took place in the capital.
Many manufacturers reacted with caution, since the automotive market in Russia was still still formed. The cars were quite expensive - from 6 to 10 thousand rubles. The demand for cars remained rather modest, although Russia was already considered among foreign manufacturers a very promising market.
Peugeot participation in the first Russian automotive exhibition did not accept. But at the next exhibition, the products of the "lion brand" could be seen on the stand.

Sports achivments

A large help in advertising was sports achievements Peugeot. In the advertising prospect of the beginning of the century, it was noted that the cars of this brand were winning the victory in a number of large international competitions, such as Grand Prix de Dieppe in June 1912, Grand Prix de France in Le Mana in September of the same year, on Mont Ventoux mountain races and Val Suzon, auto racing in Brookland and a number of others.
Peugeot cars and Russian competitions participated. So, in the car races in Simferopol, held on May 27, 1912 (according to the old style) under the auspices of the local gymnastic society, Mr. Obukhovsky was launched on Peugeot with a capacity of 12 liters. from.

Russian emigrants in France

In the enterprises of Peugeot in France, a lot of Russians worked in the 20s and 30s. According to statistics, in the first years after the revolution, Russia was forced to leave over a million people. Some of them were in France. According to the data given, in 1921 there were more than 65 thousand Russian refugees in the country, most of whom were refuge in Paris and its surroundings. Many of these people turned out to be deprived of any livelihood. Former soldiers, officers, doctors, entrepreneurs and lawyers were looking for any work that could feed them and their families themselves.
In cars, which came from the gate of Peugeot plants at that time, there was a clock of labor and immigrants from Russia.

Peugeot in the USSR

After the revolution of 1917, the company's connections with Russia were interrupted, but "lion cars" continued to work in the country. It is interesting to trace the story of some of them. Take, for example, PEUGEOT cars from Nikolai II garage. After the February Revolution and the renunciation of the emperor from the throne, the garage was reorganized into the automotive base of the temporary government, and all the cars located there were new owners.

The story of one bebe.

Everyone who at least once visited the Moscow Polytechnic Museum automotive department, probably remembers the small green PEUGEOT BEBE car, modestly standing in the exposure. This is the oldest car in our country, from those that are in private collections.
A real legend is hung around it: many believe that this car owned the son of Nikolai II, the heir to the throne, Tsearevich Alexey. Is it so?

After the collapse of the USSR: new relationships

The fracture in relations occurred in the early 90s. After the collapse of the USSR, many foreign car manufacturers began to look at Russia as one of the world's largest potential markets and considered it necessary to take a number of steps aimed at developing this market as soon as possible. Representative offices of the Ministry of Firm appeared in Moscow and the capitals of the former Union republics, as if mushrooms after the rain.

Construction of the plant

The successful development of the Russian automotive market in 2000-2007 convinced the leadership of the concern in the need to create its own production in the territory of the Russian Federation. Such an opportunity was carefully studied by experts for several years, and in the end they came to the conclusion about the feasibility of this step.
In early 2008, a group of employees of the company was arrived in the Russian capital, which was entrusted to the construction preparation mission. Soon in its composition, along with French experts, our compatriots were included.
For preparatory activities it took several months. During this time, PSA Peugeot Citroen and his partner Mitsubishi Motors Corporation found a suitable platform near the city of Kaluga (near the Federal Kyiv Hospital) and signed all the necessary agreements.

Then the assortment expanded and the brothers began to make more perfect and complex products for that time: coffee grinders, tools, spices, irons, sewing machines, umbrellas. By the eighty years ago, family-friendly business has already been converted into a rather large enterprise, carrying out its activities in the Metalworking Industry of France. In the same period, the products of this brand are already exported to several states.

Bicycle invention

In 1882, Peugeot released a bike Le Grand-Bi. It was the first experience of the organization in the production of vehicles.

Lion's direction for 120 years has never changed. But the figure itself has undergone a lot of changes. In 1891, the crown disappeared, and the torso and the mane increased in the amount. The color of the lion from the black and white was changed to the gold, which is a symbol of wealth, luxury and success.

For the period 1912-1920 The logo was deprived of a lion image. However, after World War I, the lion appeared again. Its dimensions, appearance and background color repeatedly modified.
