Renault Type BH

The Renault Type BH was an early passenger car from Renault, also called the 50/60 CV, and the national authority approved it on 18 June 1909. It replaced the Renault Type AR. A water cooled six cylinder engine with a 100 millimetre bore and a 160 millimetre stroke displaced 7,540 cubic centimetres and gave 50 PS, sent to the rear axle by a cardan shaft, for a stated top speed of 70 to 98 kilometres per hour depending on the gearing. The bare chassis weighed 1,200 kilograms. Buyers could choose torpedo and limousine bodies, and the chassis cost 22,000 francs.
