That's right! A very obscure vehicle I haven't found anything about. Did anyone know something more?

When war broke out in 1940, the factory Maserati car stops all activity.
She works for the military and also makes some electric trucks with three wheels and a single 1 ton truck with cab
I have no more information, sorry  :-[
