Company history

The Bilbao- based Construcciones Acorazadas SA (also known as Automotores Triver ) began developing automobiles in 1954 and producing automobiles in 1957. In 1960 production ended after about 75 copies were made. One vehicle still exists.

vehicles

The company manufactured two different models of small cars. The bodies were made of 3 mm thick metal and offered space for two adults and two children.

tricycle

The first model was a tricycle with the single wheel at the back. An air-cooled two-cylinder two - stroke engine , which was manufactured by Construcciones Acorazadas SA under the type designation EMB, was used as a boxer engine . A 60 mm bore and 60 mm stroke resulted in a displacement of 339 cm³ . The power was 14 hp . The design-related maximum speed was specified as 60 km / h. With a wheelbase of 160 cm, the vehicle length was 265 cm and the vehicle height was 137 cm.

Four wheel

The later model had four wheels, but outwardly resembled the tricycle. The two-cylinder engine from Hispano Villiers had a displacement of 500 cm³ and developed 14 to 16 hp. The top speed was 78 km / h. The track width was 126 cm at the front and only 54 cm at the rear. Despite the shorter wheelbase of 154 cm, the vehicle was slightly longer than the tricycle at 267 cm. The width was 146 cm, the height 140 cm.
