Rosenbauer Trio made between 1936-1938: In line with a patent from Leipzig, the 3-wheeler, which was manufactured entirely in-house, was produced in innumerable versions for both retail and commercial purposes. Powered by a 324 ccm, 10 hp  Rosenbauer single-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, the 3-gear vehicle had a top speed of 50 khp. With a dead weight of 370 kg, the vehicle could have a maximum weight of 1.090 kg.

During a serch for applications for its own valveles, two-stroke engine (325 cc) Rosenbauer purchased a licence from the Ostner company in Dresden for the production of a three-wheeler van, which with a 650 kg payload, minimal servicing costs and consumption of 5 L, which was low for the time, promised cost-efficiency in every regard.
In 1936 only 18 Trios were sold, in 1937 just 49 and in 1938, 25.
Following Austria's Anschluss with the German Reich production was halted.
