FULDAMOBIL / NWF / GERMANY

 FULDAMOBIL / FULDA / WILHELMSHAFEN / GERMANY  ( 1950 - 1969 )

In 1950, “Elektromaschinenbau Fulda GmbH” built a prototype of the Fuldamobil, designed by Norbert Stevenson. The microcar went into series production in 1951 and was a considerable success. Motors from ILO and Fichtel & Sachs were used. The design was so successful that a number of licenses were given, for example to Sweden (Fram - King), the Netherlands (Bambino), Greece (Alta), Great Britain (Nobel, for more information click here ) and other countries. The last German vehicle was produced  in 1969.

Look at the badge on the hood and on the advertisement ( down left ). There is a complete different emblem that never was used on the small FULDAMOBIL. Nevertheless this emblem was in existence, you can find it on the (rare) buses built by NWF in the nineteenfifties.



much too big for the small FULDAMOBIL

  1. I have never seen or heard of the Fuldamobil, although I am a German living in Germany. It seems to be a threewheeler? - Very interesting!
    And a 60 cm emblem size for the busses - indeed impressing!
