Baby-Brousse (Ivory Coast) - AllCarIndex

Baby-Brousse was a utility vehicle brand that operated from 1963 to 1979, originating from the Ateliers et Forges de l’Ebrid in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The brand was founded by Maurice Delignon, a French expatriate, who commercialized a utility car based on the Citroën 2CV chassis. This vehicle featured a distinctive flat body design constructed from a combination of steel, aluminum, and wood.

In 1969, Citroën acquired the license to produce the Baby-Brousse, which significantly contributed to its production numbers. By the time manufacturing ceased in 1979, over 31,000 units had been produced. Additionally, production of the Baby-Brousse extended beyond Ivory Coast; it began in Iran in 1970 and continued at the Citroën factory in Chile from 1972 to 1976, where the Chilean variant was known as the Yagan.
