A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured by New-Map 1945-1963, and then by KV and KVS until the 1970s.
The voiturettes (three-wheel utility vehicles) had sheet-metal or tarpaulin covers and were powered by Ultima, Sotecma, Gnome and Rhone, and Ydral engines. Engine supply was a considerable problem, for at the time many French engine manufacturers ceased production.
The Sotecma was a marine engine to which was added a newly designed New-Map gearbox.
