Alfi (car manufacturer)
Alfi was a German carmaker based in Berlin. It built cars in two periods: 1921–1925 and 1927–1928.
It started as the company AAA (Rechargeable Battery and Automobile Manufacture Inc.), which made electric cars and vans for the German postal service. In 1922 it switched to gasoline cars and changed its name to Alfi, after the owner, Alex Fischer.
The first Alfi car had a 780 cc flat-twin engine. It was followed by a 940 cc inline-four from Steudel of Kamenz, and then a 1,320 cc inline-four from Atos of Berlin. Production ended in 1925.
A new company, Alfi Automobile GmbH, was started in 1927 by Alex Fischer. These cars were mostly three-wheelers with a single front wheel powered by a DKW engine; the front wheel could be turned 180 degrees to drive the car backward. There was also a four-wheel model, the Alfi Sport, with a tiny 2/10 PS engine, available as open or coupe two-seaters, but it was made in small numbers. The company closed in 1928.
