Maquinaria y Elementos de Transporte

Maquinaria y Elementos de Transporte, also known as Maquitrans or by the abbreviation MT is a former bus modification and Spanish car manufacturer based in Barcelona.

Its main purpose was to adapt old buses for use as trolleybuses to avoid the fuel shortages after the Spanish Civil War.

[1] From 1941 to 1949 Marquitrans made two types of trolley buses, single and double deck models.

For the cargo scooters, it was mounted in front of the single rear wheel with a mid-engine design.

It was taken as the basis for the definitive model, after adding a complete fairing to the rear of the engine, leaving all the mechanics hidden.
