vehicles

The first 16/20 CV model corresponded to a Pilain model.

The type AP was an in-house development. A four-cylinder engine with 16 valves and 1726 cm³ displacement provided the drive . The engine was mounted in the front of the vehicle and powered the rear axle via a cardan shaft . The four-speed gearbox was mounted on the rear axle. Four-wheel brakes were a special feature. This model was manufactured until 1922.

The successor models were designed similarly, but had larger engines with either 1885 cm³, 2405 cm³ or 2613 cm³ displacement.

Other sources name a four-cylinder engine with 3800 cm³ displacement as the only motorization.
