The Fiat 242 van was the result of a cooperation with Citroën and was sold under the name Citroën C35 in France.[1] Both vehicles were produced in Italy till 1987 with Fiat engines, and then in France by Chausson, when Fiat discontinued the 242. Citroën retained the model until 1992. This cooperation was the precursor of Sevel.
