Production1899–1900
Recorded originGermany
ClassElectric public-service cab
The company's opening public-service vehicle and the first electrically powered taxi documented in Berlin. Contemporary descriptions combine taxi and small-omnibus duty and quote seating for six to eight, so those uses are retained as configurations of one early chassis rather than asserted as separate engineered models. A photographed 1899 taxi survives in the historical record.
