The Berliet ANA was a light petrol railcar prototype built by Berliet in 1922, the maker's first standard-gauge railcar. Berliet turned to rail work after the First World War crisis, reusing its lorry and bus know-how. The ANA ran on a two-axle frame with only the front axle driven by chains, carried 29 seated passengers and weighed 11.2 tonnes empty, and was powered by a four-cylinder Berliet petrol engine of 40 horsepower. Trial runs on the Chemin de fer de l'Est de Lyon in 1922 and 1923 drew representatives of the large railway networks. It led to the AND of 1924 and the RCMC of 1929 for the Bouches-du-Rhône departmental railways.
