History
The engine of the car generated around 18 hp (13 kW), and has a speed of 75 km/h (47 mph). Carrying a full load, it can reach nearly 80 km/h (50 mph). The car, shown at a 1912 autoshow, carried a price of 13,000 francs.[1]
During the First World War, the car was used as an officer or health vehicles. They were also used fire-fighting vans, because of their large chassis.[2] A number of Peugeot 146, along with Peugeot 148 and Peugeot 153, were converted to the Peugeot armoured car.[3]
The Peugeot 146, including the variant 146S and colonial variant 146A, was produced in Lille. A total of 428 examples were produced.[1]
