The company manufactured micro cars. One source describes it as being extremely simply constructed. The base was a triangular plastic tub into which two seats were embedded. Between the seats there was a joystick that was used to accelerate, brake and steer. Two electric motors drove the rear wheels. The curb weight was specified as 198 kg, the top speed at 24 km / h and the range at 64 km.

In spring 1972 the basic version Porquerolles came on the market. The further developed Cab supplemented the range from October 1972. It had a front window. The Cob followed a year later . This was a small utility vehicle that was the only one of the three models to have a steering wheel. It was 254 cm long and 120 cm wide.
