 During the year 1913 only, Ahrens-Fox built a 44 hp (following then-actual rating practice) automobile.Like at rival American LaFrance, the idea was to sell these cars to bigger fire brigades as a car of duty for their chiefs.Also like at ALF, it was not successful for Ahrens-Fox either, although for Ahrens-Fox the results were more consequential; there was only one model, a huge six-cylinder called the "E-C Battalion Roadster".
