The pre-automobile AG was a German company in the field of vehicle construction or automobile manufacturing , which in autumn 1926 in Berlin - Wilmersdorf in the legal form of a joint stock company was founded.

Company history

The founders of the engineer counted Richard Bussien (born November 18, 1888 in Leipzig, d. 1979), which together with Eugen Hinzler the Board formed the company. The purpose of the company was stated as "construction of front wheel drives and utilization of patents of this kind" . When it was founded, the share capital was 200,000 Reichsmarks (RM) and was increased in two steps to 450,000 RM by 1928.

In the first two years a Voran car was offered, which was equipped with front-wheel drive and Pluto engines 5/25 HP or 6/30 HP. However, only very few copies were made.

In 1930 AEG bought the company and linked it with its automobile company, NAG . The Supervisory Board then included Siegmund Kleczewer (NAG), Fritz Rosenberg (AEG) and the lawyer Willy Gaffrey.

Together with NAG, a prototype of a front-wheel drive V-8 model, the NAG-Voran V8 Type 212, was first created . From 1933 the NAG-Voran type 220 was built with a four - cylinder boxer engine , but it was a failure and sealed the end of automobile production in 1934. Bussien and Hinzler were replaced by NAG managers Paul Gappel and Karl Friedrich Hellfritz, respectively . The pre-automobile AG was apparently settled by the 1937th

Richard Bussien later worked for the German Ford Motor Company AG in Cologne.
