The first models were tricycles. Electric cars followed . It wasn't until 1906 that the first four-wheeled vehicle with a gasoline engine came out. This was the small car 4 ½ CV with a single cylinder engine from De Dion-Bouton with 344 cm³ displacement . The three-speed transmission came from our own production. The engine power was transmitted to the rear axle by means of a cardan shaft . There was also a two-cylinder model , also with a built-in engine from De Dion-Bouton, and the four-cylinder model 24 CV . In 1910 the range consisted of the 24 CV and a two-cylinder model with a displacement of 1300 cc.
