A PSA Peugeot-Citroen/Rootes Group Family Tree
This family tree has been greatly simplified. For example, Simca at one time controlled Unic, but later sold the company to Iveco, so I haven't mentioned it here. Similarly, Chrysler has not been covered here in detail since it was only involved for 15 years. There are probably also omissions. If any readers can help fill in omissions, please let me know.
Some texts report that Citroen took over Hotchkiss (incorporating Delage, Delahaye and Amilcar) in the 1970s, yet other texts have conflicting accounts. Due to this uncertainty I have not included details here.
