Automobiles

In 1898 there was a four-wheeled vehicle with 3 hp and a Voiturette with an air-cooled two-cylinder engine . In 1900 vehicles with steam engines and electric motors appeared . In 1901 a single-cylinder model with a displacement of 700 cm³ , a two-cylinder model and a four-cylinder model followed . In 1904 a four-cylinder model with a displacement of 2500 cc appeared and in 1905 the 12 CV model . In cooperation with the American CR Goodwin , the single-cylinder model L'Américaine with a displacement of 703 cm³ and a four-cylinder model with a displacement of 1500 cm³ were produced from 1910 , both with friction gears .

commercial vehicles

From 1905, the main business was the production of commercial vehicles in the middle and heavy classes of 2.5 to 5.5 tons of payload . With these, Cohandet regularly took part in reliability tests for commercial vehicles. All of the manufacturer's trucks had the engine well ahead, a cone clutch , four-speed gearbox and drive chains . The driver's seat was above the engine. Initially, water-cooled T-head two-cylinder engines were used in-house. A three-cylinder version followed in 1907 . The two-cylinder engine was designed as a square from 1909 with a cylinder bore and a piston stroke of 145 mm each and thus a displacement of 4789 cm³. The versions with two- and three-cylinder engines remained in the program until production was discontinued, even if they were supplemented with a four-cylinder from 1912. This had a displacement of 5341 cm³, which is calculated from a stroke of 100 mm and a bore of 170 mm.
