The big development is in 10 to l2 H.P sizes of light cars and motor cars. Incidentally, the French distinction SAH News 4 between the three is approximately as follows: Cycle cars range up to 1100 c.c. cylinder capacity, or 67 cubic inches; light cars from 1100 c.c. to 1500 c.c. , or 92 cubic inches; motor cars 1500 c.c. and above.

  • Mathis D Présentation.Pages
    Das Schicksal eines Automobilbauers Emile Ernest Charles Mathis *Straßburg - 15. März 1880 ✟ Genf - 3. August 1956 Zur Zeit des Reichlands Sohn eines Straßburger Hoteliers (Hotel "Ville de Paris"), wird Emile Mathis als Zwölfjähriger nach England geschickt, um dort die Sprache und die guten Manieren im Hotelfach zu lernen. 1898 gründet er sein Unternehmen zum Verkauf und zur Reparatur von Automobile in Straßburg. Dazu erwirbt er die alleinige Vertretung der Automobile De Dietrich - Lizenz Amédée Bollée. Emile Mathis lernt Ettore Bugatti 1901 in Niederbronn kennen. Zusammen planen sie die Teilnahme an dem Rennen "Paris-Madrid" (1903). Zu diesem Zweck werden zwei Fahrzeuge entworfen und getestet, aber die zwei Freunde werden von den Rennkommissaren aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht zugelassen. Die Firma De Dietrich - Niederbronn gibt die Produktion von Automobile 1904 auf, was den beiden ehrgeizigen jungen Leute eine glänzende Zukunft eröffnet. Im April 1904 unterschreiben sie einen Vertrag zur Entwicklung, Herstellung und Vertrieb der Fahrzeuge "Hermes-Simplex" oder "Mathis-Hermes, Lizenz Bugatti". Die Firma "Mathis & Co" wird zu diesem Zweck gegründet. Emile Mathis ist ein junger aber schon geschickter Geschäftsmann; er setzt auf Vielfältigkeit und so bleibt neben dieser neuen Gesellschaft, die "EEC Mathis", mit Alleinvertretungen für Deutschland und die Nachbarländer der Firmen De Dietrich-Lunéville, Panhard-Levassor, Rochet-Schneider, Minerva, Fiat,... in seinem alleinigen Besitz. Es ist sein zweites Standbein in diesem riskanten Geschäft, das die Automobilherstellung am Anfang dieses Jahrhunderts noch ist. 1906 ist der "Auto Mathis Palace" die größte Autowerkstatt in Europa, und eine der drei größten auf der Welt. Im selben Jahr trennen sich die beiden Männer: zwei unterschiedliche Persönlichkeiten mit unterschiedlichen Konzeptionen ihre Autos betreffend.

This disconnect needed to be addressed but the costs to produce and mail three full issues was logistically and fi nancially unrealistic. Another alter- SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2013 native was to simply name the next issue #264 and break the SAH Journal’s continuity. The alternative that seemed best and thus is the one chosen is what you now hold. Issues #264 and #265 are “modest” issues of four pages each with #266 a regular issue. This solution to produce a trio of issues does not interrupt or detract from members’ rightful expectation for a bimonthly publication. The next issue (#267, Mar/Apr 2014) is in production and will be in your hands two months hence, bringing the dating of the issues into line with the calendar.

DR PATRIMOINE Émile Mathis, réhabilité en sa villa Hôtel-restaurant réservé aux groupes sur les hauteurs du Hohwald, la Villa Mathis accueille désormais une exposition permanente retraçant la vie et l’œuvre de l’industriel strasbourgeois. Peu connu parce que la marque n’a pas résisté à la crise économique puis à la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, Émile Mathis fut pourtant un grand constructeur automobile. Textes : Laurent Bodin Émile Mathis (1880-1956) fut un industriel atypique. L’œuvre qu’il laisse l’est tout autant, notam- ment cette villa, baptisée Oura- gan, qu’il fait construire entre 1928 et 1930 au col du Kreuzweg, au Hohwald. « Luxueuse et moderne pour l’époque, avec des chambres qui possèdent toutes des douches à jet, cette maison de 1 600 m² était dédiée à la vie mondaine. Il y accueillait, avec sa femme, des hôtes de marque issus de la politi- que, des arts et de l’industrie », raconte Catherine Comau. Cette jeune femme dynamique est la propriétaire de la Villa Mathis qu’elle a rachetée avec sa mère, Marcelle Latour, en 2006.

  • A PSA Peugeot-Citroen/Rootes Group Family Tree
    A PSA Peugeot-Citroen/Rootes Group Family Tree This family tree has been greatly simplified. For example, Simca at one time controlled Unic, but later sold the company to Iveco, so I haven't mentioned it here. Similarly, Chrysler has not been covered here in detail since it was only involved for 15 years. There are probably also omissions. If any readers can help fill in omissions, please let me know. Some texts report that Citroen took over Hotchkiss (incorporating Delage, Delahaye and Amilcar) in the 1970s, yet other texts have conflicting accounts. Due to this uncertainty I have not included details here.

    SUC- CESS STO-2021 RIES NEXTMOVE SUCCESS STORIES 2021 © Arnaud Bouissou – Terra © Arnaud Bouissou Jean-Baptiste Djebbari Ministre délégué auprès de la ministre de la Transition écologique, 2 chargé des Transports Les sorties de crises ont toujours favorisé l’innovation ; celle que nous nous apprêtons à vivre ne devrait pas faire exception. Le secteur des transports constitue un terreau d’autant plus fertile qu’il a été frappé de plein fouet par la pandémie. Sa transition énergétique s’accélère, de nouveaux usages émergent. Le véhicule électrique, d’ores et déjà, est passé à la vitesse supérieure : il s’en est vendu trois fois plus en 2020 qu’en 2019, et nous déployons massivement des bornes de recharge pour que 100 000 soient accessibles au public d’ici fin 2022. Nous nous engageons résolument sur la voie de l’hydrogène vert : l’État investit 7 milliards d’euros pour en produire plus et en faire bénéficier la mobilité lourde. Sur le véhicule autonome, la France a pris de l’avance : nous sommes depuis 2018, l’un des premiers pays du monde à se doter d’un cadre réglementaire, qui va permettre de lancer des expérimentations cette année. Tout l’enjeu, c’est que des champions français naissent de ces révolutions. Le potentiel est là : les 22 nouvelles success stories de NextMove en sont la preuve. Elles illustrent l’audace, la créativité et l’engagement de nos entrepreneurs, de nos ingénieurs, de nos chercheurs, de nos industriels. Faisons passer ces réussites à l’échelle supérieure. Pour en faire des leaders mondiaux, nous devons penser l’innovation au niveau européen.
