La production automobile a quasiment cessé pendant la guerre. seul quelques modeles de voitures et camions ont été produit au début jusqu'en 1942 pour l'usage exclusif de l'occupant comme par exemple la traction dont les allemants été trés friant. Elle a été utilisée jusque sur le front Russe et certains modeles ont même été retrouvés apres la chute du communisme de 1989. Mais cette production n'etaient que des modèles d'avant guerre.
Dés le début de la guerre l'essence s'est faite de plus en plus rare et le peu que l'on pouvait trouver etait réservé a l'occupant. les populations civiles ont du trouver d'autre source de combustible pour se déplacer
Les gazogenes ont fait leur réaparition , le gaz de ville compressé ou non , le méthane et l'acétylene ont été utilisés avec plus ou moins de bonheur. Les chevaux ont repris du service,on a ressortit des musées les fiacres et calèches du passé mais le moyen de transport le plus populaire pendant les annees d'occupation reste le velo.
Automobile production almost ceased during the war. Only a few cars and trucks had been made until 1942 mainly for the benefit of the Germans. A good example is the Citroen Traction; very appreciated by the Germans. The Lutwaffe as well as the Wermacht used them all other Europe, even on the Russian front, and some have been found in eastern Europe after the fall of Communism in 1989.
As soon as the war started gasoline/petrol was hard to find and was reserved for the occupation army.
Civilian populations had to find new ways for transportation, gazogenes reappeared, gaz, and acetylene were used. Horses too. (In 1944 a horse was more expensive than a car ), but the most successful means of transportation in that era was the bike.
