About:

In 1902, Frese presented his cars on large military maneuvers taking place near Kursk. They aimed to identify the suitability of the new means of transport for the needs of the army. Among others, four 8-horsepower trucks were tested (one of them is an 8-horsepower omnibus) and four cars (of which 2 rear-engine - 6 hp and 2 front-engine - 8 hp). On two front-engine cars, the engine was already in front, as on the French model “De Dion Bouton-Popuyler”, and the three-speed gearbox was at the rear. At the end of the maneuvers, the military department purchased only cars from the Frese company, considering the “cargo vehicles” for military service to be insufficiently powerful.
