Manufactured in 1914, or before?

[pnegyesi]

I suppose it was built before 1914 - it was bought by the organisation which took the photo as a used vehicle in 1918

Lloyd?

[4popoid]

Was the manufacturer of this car active after 1918?

[pnegyesi]

Not a Lloyd, and I say this: yes the company was active beyond 1918 but there's a but. I am not inclined to reveal the "but" part just yet

[ropat53]

Siemens-Schuckert 6/10 PS, which I believe were made by Automobilwerk Wilhelm Körting?

[Paul Jaray]

Elite/Geha?

Protos?  Protos was taken over by Siemens-Schuckert in 1908, but continued to produce cars under the Protos brand, including electric cars, some of which were manufactured in the Bergmann Electric plant.

[pnegyesi]

It was ropat53 who first said the word "Siemens". 

This is a Siemens electric car which was bought by the Budapest Electric Company in 1918 as a used vehicle. Its engine was noted as having 6 hp. It was in use until 1925.

[4popoid]

I have a question Pal.  It is my understanding that Siemens-Schuckert stopped producing automobiles under that name in 1910, and after 1910 sold their vehicles under the Protos brand, which they owned after 1908.  If this is true, and if this car is circa 1914, wouldn't this be a Protos? 

[pnegyesi]

Yes, this bothers me as well. But this photo album proved to be very reliable when it comes to identifying cars. So it is possible that it was made earlier.
