Belga (Belgium) - AllCarIndex

Automobiles Belga was a Belgian automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1920 to 1921, based in Marchienne-Zone. The company was initially known as Nile et Brunel before adopting the Belga name. It produced a conventional light car that was powered by a 1592 cc four-cylinder Ballot engine.

The Belga offered both two-seater and four-seater body configurations, featuring a distinctive vee-shaped radiator that contributed to its aesthetic appeal. The design of the vehicle was the work of engineers Brunel and Van Caubergk. One of the notable aspects of the Belga was its friction transmission system, which provided ten forward speeds. However, this innovative feature proved to be problematic, as the driven disc experienced rapid wear, leading to issues akin to clutch slip.

Despite its unique design elements, Automobiles Belga had a short-lived existence and ceased operations shortly after its inception.
