Becognee (France) - AllCarIndex

Becognee was a French automotive brand that emerged in the early 1930s, specifically in 1930. The company focused on producing light sports cars, with its sole prototype featuring a 746cc side-valve V-twin JAP engine and a shaft drive system. The design of the prototype was characterized by a doorless open 2-seater body, which was intended to be complemented by a hardtop in future models.

Despite plans for further development, including the potential use of an overhead valve engine and the introduction of a four-cylinder model, the economic challenges posed by the Great Depression hindered the brand's ability to launch successfully. Consequently, Becognee did not produce any successors to its prototype, leading to its eventual decline.
