The Framework

The Amicale Citroën Internationale (ACI) was formally founded in February 2004 in Paris, as the international lobby for all Citroën lovers towards the manufacturer. Informally, this organisation has been existing since the late 80s.

Established as a self-organized, completely independent organisation and non-commercial according to the French Law of 1901, we are not part of Automobiles Citroën or PSA but work in close co-operation with Citroën as our partner.

Automobiles Citroën granted us the exclusive rights of using their company’s name as a part of the name of our organisation and related communication (eg. this website). Furthermore, Automobiles Citroën has accepted us as the official platform and interface between them and the Citroën clubs worldwide.

In brief, our main objective is to establish and maintain a good contact network amongst the Citroën clubs, and between the clubs and the manufacturer.

Furthermore, we are responsible for selecting and deciding on the ACI Event Of The Year which we present to Automobiles Citroën as being most important for their support. Every 4 years, this will be of course the world meeting of all Citroën, known as International Citroën Car Club Rallye (ICCCR).

Being promoted by us, the 13th ICCCR in Interlaken/Switzerland in 2004 was the first world meeting officially supported by the manufacturer.

The ACI Event of the Year will be announced in our calendar – check it out to read more about the details.
