The Berliet RBAD was a single metre-gauge diesel railcar, the last model Berliet designed and built for metre gauge in France and among the first railcars anywhere fitted with a diesel engine. It was ordered in 1933 by the Côte-d'Or department, which then dropped its railcar trials, leaving Berliet with an unsold vehicle. The department of the Doubs rented it in 1936 for the Morteau to Trévillers line and bought it in 1937 as number B 4. A Ricardo-licence engine needed frequent servicing. It ran until the Besançon line closed to passengers on 1 August 1951 and was sold for scrap in 1953.
