Jorge Rasmussen's Framo-Werkes had made its name manufacturing cheap tricycle delivery wagons. Following Rasmussen's sacking from Auto-Union in 1934, he turned his focus to Framo and initiated a series of budget car projects. These ultimately proved to be unsuccessful. Framo's tricycles were updated and a new series of four wheeled commercial vehicles were introduced. The four wheeled range was powered by a 500cc two cylinder DKW two-stroke engine, built under license. Framo offered a small sedan based on the same platform as their light truck. Few were sold however and in 1936, as part of the Schell rationalization program, Framo was instructed to cease all tricycle and personal vehicle production and were licensed only to produce their light truck.
