History
[edit]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 staff cars or ambulances. They were also used as fire-engines, because of their large chassis.[2] A number of Peugeot 146s, along with Peugeot 148s and Peugeot 153s, were converted to armoured cars.[3]
The Peugeot 146, including the variant 146S and colonial variant 146A, was produced in Lille. A total of 428 examples were produced.[1]
