Production1902
Recorded originGermany
ClassVeteran passenger automobile or light commercial vehicle
Power6 hp
Final higher-powered development of Cudell's rear-engine De Dion-Bouton Type D-derived Patentwagen. It is retained separately from the 4½ HP because the reported 700 cc engine represents another mechanical step, and separately from the contemporary front-engine 6 HP because their engine positions and chassis architecture differ. The accessible reconstructed program secures 1902 but not a second production year, exact dimensions, price, body range or serial allocation; those fields remain unknown rather than inherited from a different rating.

Record depth — Documented
How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
A documented marketed rating is preserved, but no evidence allocates completed cars specifically to the 6 HP rear-engine version.
