CIMEM (Italy) - AllCarIndex

C.I.M.E.M. was an Italian automobile manufacturer based in Milan, operational from 1951 to 1955. The company specialized in producing small, lightweight vehicles, catering to the post-war demand for economical transportation.

One of the notable models produced by C.I.M.E.M. was the Girino, a compact, doorless three-wheeler. The Girino featured a Vespa single-cylinder engine that generated 4.5 brake horsepower, paired with a three-speed gearbox that drove the swinging rear wheel. With a weight of only 200 kilograms, the vehicle was capable of reaching speeds of up to 32 miles per hour (51 km/h), making it a practical option for urban commuting.

In 1955, C.I.M.E.M. developed a further prototype known as the Motospyder, which was equipped with a 125cc engine. However, the company ceased operations shortly thereafter, marking the end of its brief but innovative presence in the automotive industry.
