The first model had a single cylinder engine with 3 HP power, which was mounted under the driver's seat. A special feature was that the engine power was transmitted to the front wheels by means of belts. A conventional model followed in 1901. A built-in engine from De Dion-Bouton with 5.5 HP power provided the drive, which drove the rear wheels. From 1904, single-cylinder engines from De Dion-Bouton with 6 hp and 9 hp, two-cylinder engines from De Dion-Bouton and Tony Huber with 10 hp each and four-cylinder engines from Tony Huber and Fossier with 24 hp each were available. The four-cylinder models had a chain drive, the smaller models had a cardan drive .

In 1912 the range consisted of the four-cylinder models 9/11 CV , 10/12 CV , 14/16 CV and 16/20 CV with cardan drive, some of which were also sold as SEM .

A vehicle of this brand can be seen in the Museu Nacional de l'Automòbil d'Andorra in Encamp in Andorra .
