Private company

French motor manufacturer

Bernardet is the name of a manufacturing company created by three brothers named René, Robert and Roger Bernardet. The company logo was a play on the brothers’ names, being a “3R” intertwined with a “B” and an “F” as in “Bernardet Frères” (Bernardet Brothers). The company was a manufacturer of sidecars and later of motor scooters, but between 1946 and 1950 Bernardet attempted to become an automobile manufacturer; this ambition was thwarted by government restrictions which prevented them from being able to acquire the necessary materials and components.² It ceased to exist in 1957.¹ Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
