vehicles

The company bought vehicle parts and assembled them into complete vehicles. The type of drive has not been handed down. The time and the purchase of parts could indicate gasoline engines . However, the charging station is a reference to electric motors , while the past of Green makes steam engines seem possible.

The first two vehicles were built in the spring of 1904, and were probably followed by a few more.
