Solex - Une aventure humaine et industrielle

NEW

The Solex story began in 1904 when students Marcel Mennesson and Maurice Goudard laid the foundations for an empire bearing the name SOLEX. Their youthful boldness led to products that transformed land, sea, and air transportation - whether on two wheels or more.
Along the way, they were supported by a diverse network of family, secretaries, technicians, collaborators, pilots, manufacturers, advertisers, and customers.

Often unnoticed, Solex components like radiators behind grilles, carburetors under hoods, and micrometers in workshops became integral to the lives of millions worldwide. Solex innovations powered transportation, urban cleaning, agriculture, military efforts, aviation, and industrial precision.
In the latter half of the 20th century, the brand achieved global fame with the timeless black silhouette of the VéloSolex - a simple, reliable, and affordable means of transport for workers, students, and later, collectors.

This French book invites you to journey through the 20th century and beyond, following the men and women who turned a human adventure into an industrial success. It covers the origins, radiators, carburetors, micrometers, and the iconic VéloSolex.
