Preview (beginning of the article)

The Peugeot 202 was special neither because of its technology nor its basic architecture. What was unique were the lamps hidden behind the radiator grille, which made the small car from Paris highly recognizable. In April 1938, Peugeot launched a modern successor to the 201 model. Designed for four people and some luggage, the car was primarily intended to impress with its energy efficiency and as a multi-purpose vehicle. Peugeot did not take any technical risks with the 202. A box frame chassis with a wheelbase of 2.45 meters formed the basis for the all-steel body. A four-cylinder engine with a triple-bearing crankshaft and overhead valves produced 30 hp from a displacement of 1,133 cm3, which was transmitted to the rear wheels via a three-speed gearbox. The wheels were individually suspended at the front and mounted on a rigid axle at the rear.
