Bij 't Vuur
The Bij 't Vuur was a Dutch automobile manufactured by C. Bij 't Vuur in Arnhem from 1902 until 1906. The name means something like "Near to the fire".
The company started out as a coachbuilder, when in 1901 it made her first car. The first cars had Aster engines but later ones used De Dion-Bouton or Panhard units. With the car Bij 't Vuur took part in the Toer door Nederland, after which it was sold.
The next project was a car with a bit heavier engine. In 1902 a 9 hp and a 12 hp-version were offered, which had a quite modern cardan axle with three gears forward and one backwards.
At the RAI Motor Show of 1905 Bij 't Vuur showed a car with a self-built engine. This marked the end of Bij 't Vuur as car manufacturer. From then on, it only made buses.
About 25 cars were produced.
