A company of which the foundation goes back to 200 years, is not very common.

Surviving the Napoleonic wars, the revolution of 1830 separating Belgium

from The Netherlands and the two world wars isn't very common either.

D'Ieteren can take pride in the fact of being such a company. The company

started its activities in 1805 in a small Brussels wheelwright workshop, and is

nowadays active throughout the world.

In this work, we do not only discover the evolution of the individual transport in

Belgium, but also some aspects of the political, economic and social history of the

country.

The book is illustrated with more than 350 unpublished documents, and recounts

the saga of the cars through the legendary makes. It also describes the career of six

generations of passionate entrepreneurs, driven by the same will of anticipation

and adaptation.
