Company history

The German Nils Armin Halboth founded the company in Petrópolis in 1969 . He started with the production of automobiles. The brand name was Reno . Around 100 vehicles were built by 1975. Regular production ran until at least 1986. In 1996, individual bodies were made into vehicles. It is not known when the company was dissolved.

vehicles

The first model was a VW buggy . An open, doorless body made of fiberglass was mounted on a chassis from the VW Beetle that had been shortened by 37 cm . The round headlights were freestanding on the fenders . An air-cooled four - cylinder boxer engine in the rear drove the rear wheels.

In 1981 the concept was revised. Additional pipes provided more stability. Now a fake Packard- style grille was optionally available.

From 1982 trailers were on offer and from 1986 a pick-up on a VW basis.
