vehicles

Rudolf Egg, who previously founded Egg & Egli and then manufactured Moser automobiles under the brand name Egg with the help of Fritz Moser from Moteurs , was the vehicle designer.

Initially, the Egg model continued to be produced. A four-cylinder engine from Zedel provided the drive. The engine was mounted in the front of the vehicle and powered the rear axle via a cardan shaft . A special feature was that the transmission was arranged in a transaxle design on the rear axle.

In addition, a new 11 hp model was created , which was also equipped with a four-cylinder Zedel engine. A special feature was an electric starter . This model was advertised in the Automobil Revue on April 29, 1921.
