Electric? Those front wheels remind me of the hub motors on a Lohner. |

Yes: "Rapid start: In 1908, the Berlin fire brigade opted for the Mercedes Electrique with electric drive and purchased a fleet consisting of four vehicles. The wheel hub motors in the front wheels are clearly visible." ![[Image: 580807_1028774_3600_2328_1997m397.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3913/580807_1028774_3600_2328_1997m397.jpg) From Link to "www.emercedesbenz.com" Make: Mercedes-Electrique or Make: Mercedes and Model: Electrique? |

here more info on the offcial Mercedes site Link to "www.mercedes-benz.de" seems the make was "Mercedes-Electrique" Speisetransportwagen mit Elektroantrieb "Mercedes-Electrique". Die ab dem Jahre 1908 verkauften benzinelektrischen Fahrzeuge mit Radnabenmotoren fanden vor allem in den Städten dankbare Abnehmer. Das Marienfelder Werk der DMG (Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft) produzierte Last- und Biertransportwagen, Müllabfuhr- und andere Kommunalfahrzeuge, Omnibusse für Stadtrundfahrten und vor allem Feuerwehrfahrzeuge. Entwickelt wurde das System des batterie- und dann des benzinelektrischen Antriebes von Ferdinand Porsche für die Firma Lohner in Wien. Lohner wiederum verkaufte das Patent an die österreichische DMG und von dort gelangte es nach Marienfelde. -- Last edit: 2015-06-25 22:17:35 |

bing translate electric-powered "Mercedes électrique". The gasoline-electric cars sold starting in 1908 with wheel hub motors were grateful customers mainly in the cities. The Marie fields work of DMG (Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft) produced load - and beer transport vehicle, garbage and other municipal vehicles, buses for sightseeing tours and especially fire-fighting vehicles. The system was developed of the battery and then the gasoline-electric drive by Ferdinand Porsche for the company Lohner in Vienna. Lohner in turn sold the patent to the Austrian DMG and from there it spread to Marienfelde. |

I'm not sure a new make is a good idea - CougarTim's Make: Mercedes and Model: Electrique seems a better way of doing it. Easier for retrieval and more obvious for newbies and casual visitors. |

Indeed, and I'm not sure it should be considered as a separate make anyway |
