The national licensing authority granted its approval on June 30, 1914. The model was a modification of the Renault Type DX and had no predecessor. In the same year production ended without a successor.

With a wheelbase of 355.5 cm and a track width of 145 cm, the vehicle was 484.5 cm long and 176 cm wide. The turning circle was given as 12 meters. The chassis weighed 900 kg. The double phaeton and roadster have been handed down.
