He built it into a family business, working alongside his wife, his son Lionel, and later his daughter-in-law Sophie. Located in the Manche region, a land of horses, CHARDRON quickly earned a reputation for excellence, developing unmatched expertise in horse trucks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"802\">Since March 2023, the company has been run by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Charreaux with a spirit of excellence and modernity.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"802\">As a coachbuilder, CHARDRON designs custom-built vehicles in the purest tradition of French bodywork excellence.<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"804\" data-end=\"1167\">Each CHARDRON horse truck is built in France, in Percy, by a loyal team of passionate collaborators. Our purpose is to transport your horses in the best possible conditions of well-being, comfort, and safety. The objective: respecting the rules of craftsmanship and upholding the pride of artisanal work that must be flawless\u2014for your horses as much as for you.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1385\">A CHARDRON horse truck is built with high-quality materials, carefully studied and selected together with our clients, ensuring that our production remains noble, elegant, and worthy of being an authentic CHARDRON.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1549\">Our expertise has been developed and perfected over the years through the hands of our skilled craftsmen, some of whom have been with us for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1632\">Trucks and heavy-duty horse transporters, motorhomes, and special vehicles:<\/h2>\n<ul data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1959\">\n<li data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1721\">\n<p data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1721\">We design and manufacture trucks, trailers, and light vehicles for horse transport.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1849\">\n<p data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"1849\">Heavy-duty vehicles, with or without living quarters, designed for both amateurs and professionals, across all disciplines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1959\">\n<p data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"1959\">Special vehicles, event vehicles, and high-end motorhomes for travel enthusiasts, including off-road use.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"2160\">Owning \u201ca CHARDRON truck\u201d is a choice, a statement.
