Alois Barmettler's Beetle-based dune-buggy and cross-country conversion family, which established the Albar vehicle business before its…
Early-1980s Austrian-bodied two-seat coupé sold as Albar Jet in Switzerland and Strato in Austria, retaining a Volkswagen Beetle-based platform.
Fixed-roof companion to the space-frame Sonic roadster; its exact introduction and withdrawal dates within the Sonic era are not published.
Open Sonic introduced in 1982 on a dedicated space frame, abandoning the Beetle floorpan and later accepting Volkswagen or Renault 25 power.
Arbenz's only documented passenger-car production phase. From 1905 the Albisrieden factory concentrated exclusively on commercial vehicles.
Core Arbenz output after passenger cars ended, supplied to civilian operators and the Swiss Army. The factory produced 87 vehicles in 1918, but that…
Source- and photograph-confirmed bus production, including a documented 1912 vehicle. Individual type codes and exact start/end years within the…
Documented 1909 truck with 2.5-tonne payload and 5,068 kg permissible gross weight. Production-span endpoints are not published, so 1909 identifies…
Documented Swiss Army type with a preserved museum example; exact dates are not securely recovered.
Late Berna heavy truck retained from the model register without reliable production dates.
Late heavy-commercial derivatives whose detailed chronology remains unresolved.
Distinct E4 NOF subtype, not conflated with E4 NOP; chronology and payload specification remain unresolved.
Documented E4 subtype; NOP suffix is retained exactly. Accessible sources preserve no defensible production years or technical table.
Documented E-series type whose exact dates and specification are not recoverable from the accessible register.
G6 family and its MSR derivative are preserved together because accessible evidence does not establish an independent generation chronology for the…
Short or specialized L1 derivative; the suffix and distinct listing are preserved although exact dates are unavailable.
Documented military truck preserved in the Zug Depot of Technical History; production chronology and detailed specification are unresolved.
Distinct L2 derivative with unresolved production chronology.
Intermediate L-series type retained from the historical model register.
Historically listed Berna truck family retained without manufactured dates or mechanical specifications.
Specific U-series designation preserved by the model register; exact dates and payload are unresolved.
Berna's first production car; twelve vehicles of the opening Berna design were built across 1902–03, although no trustworthy model-level split…
Successor passenger car that moved the engine to the front. The accessible record preserves neither cylinder count nor displacement, so those details…
Light passenger-car range made alongside Berna's first trucks and buses. Passenger manufacture ended under English control in 1908, despite broader…
Early export-era truck known both as G1 and Vanguard; treated as one type because the sources present the names as equivalents rather than separate…
Long-lived C-series truck. Sources variously date the military production concentration to 1914–17 and illustrate a 1918 vehicle; the inclusive span…
One of the principal independent 1920s truck families; detailed subtypes and exact endpoints are not preserved in the accessible chronology.
Independent 1920s E-series commercial chassis and parent identity for the documented E4 and E5 derivatives.
Heavy G-series truck photographed and registered around 1930; exact introduction and withdrawal years remain approximate.
Opening L-series truck of the early 1930s.
Second L-series truck, explicitly documented for 1932.
1934 L-series truck preceding the Saurer-derived U family.
Larger 1934 L-series type.
Documented L5 derivative introduced with the 1934 range.
Berna's post-1936 U family corresponded broadly to Saurer's C types after Saurer acquired control; individual Berna payload classes remain separately…
One-ton-class U-series commercial chassis.
Two-class U-series chassis, distinct from the later all-wheel-drive 2UM.
Four-class U chassis and its long-wheelbase UL derivative.
Heavy U chassis and documented UM derivative.
Swiss Army off-road truck developed jointly by Berna, Saurer and FKW; radio-vehicle bodies were applications of the same chassis.
Heavier companion to the 2UM joint Swiss military program.
Self-supporting touring coach introduced in 1952, separate from the same year's underfloor-engined bus development.
Berna's first bus with a centrally mounted underfloor engine; accessible sources do not preserve a dependable type code.
1960s successor to the U family, corresponding broadly to Saurer's D range and including separately registered 5V derivatives.
Berna counterpart to the Saurer 2DM. Exactly 1,600 were manufactured across the documented 1964–76 run.
Articulated trolleybus chassis supplied to Geneva, Winterthur and Schaffhausen with bodies/equipment from firms such as SWS, SWP, SAAS, BBC and MFO.…
Late heavy V-series family documented for 1973, including the VF derivative.

military vehicle
Smallest named model in the surviving 1910 Pic-Pic catalog table. Coachwork, wheelbase and output are not securely documented.
Middle 1910 Pic-Pic chassis. Period catalog evidence establishes its engine dimensions and power but not a single standardized body.
Largest named 1910 class, distinguished from the better-specified 1912 35/45 rather than silently assuming identical engines.
Source-listed heavy commercial member of the Pic-Pic program. The 4.65-ton designation is retained as published without interpreting it as curb…
Intermediate long-wheelbase 1912 model. Its calculated displacement is derived from the source-listed cylinder geometry.
Largest documented 1912 Pic-Pic chassis, kept separate from the unspecified 1910 35/45 because its cylinder dimensions and wheelbase are…
Opening 1912 passenger class. Calculated displacement is explicitly derived from published bore and stroke because the accessible table's…
1912 model represented by a surviving period-captioned car. Body styles varied by coachwork and are not collapsed into a fictitious factory body…
Long-stroke 1912 four-cylinder. No reliable body-by-body production split survives.
Quiet-running sleeve-valve model central to Pic-Pic's engineering reputation. Period sources vary slightly on stated capacity, so the supported range…
One of two larger 1913 catalog classes. The two published capacities are preserved as variants rather than assigned unsupported submodel names.
Largest named class in the surviving 1913 table. No technical values are inferred from adjacent models.
Purpose-built competition derivative notable for front-wheel brakes. Both works entries withdrew, so racing participation is not presented as a…
Source-confirmed 1918 engine/chassis specification whose commercial type name is not preserved. It is retained to avoid erasing a documented model…
Larger unnamed 1918 specification. Its type code, body and production quantity remain unavailable and are not reconstructed from later models.
Postwar series model introduced in 1919. Piccard-Pictet failed in 1920; Gnome et Rhône and successor interests completed cars from remaining parts…
Prestige postwar V8 offered with sources also listing a longer 3,809 mm chassis. Evidence does not establish continued assembly after the 1920…
