Bambi (Argentina) - AllCarIndex

Bambi was an Argentine automotive brand established in 1961 by Fabrica de Automotores Utilitarios Saicf, located in Buenos Aires. The brand emerged from a collaboration initiated in 1958 when a board member of the company visited West Germany and engaged with Elektromaschinenbau Fulda GmbH, the manufacturer of the FULDAMOBIL microcar. This partnership led to the licensing of Fuldamobil production in Argentina under the Bambi name.

The Bambi brand produced both saloon and pick-up versions of its vehicles, which were powered by Sachs 200cc engines delivering 10.2 brake horsepower. Initially, the company projected a production target of 800 units for its first year; however, actual output fell short, with only 480 vehicles manufactured. The Bambi brand represents a unique chapter in the history of Argentine automotive production, reflecting the influence of European designs and engineering in the local market.
