1st source:
Hubert Raskin, set up a small workshop for the construction of motorcycles and car repairs in 1903, rue Frédéric Nyst, 58 in Liège.
Around 1908, he decided to build his own cars and created the R.A.L. (Raskin Auto Liege).
From 1910 to 1914, RAL built around twenty cars, equipped with 1590 or 1740 ccm 4-cylinder-monobloc-engines and 3-speed gearbox. Three types of bodies were available: 2- or 4-seater roadster and 2-seater 'conduite intérieure' Type 'U' (puzzle car).

Raskin Auto Liège (R.A.L.)
Most likely this is the same company that was known as R.A.L. (Raskin Auto Liège) and which also produced cars. From 1908, Hubert Raskin and F. Aigret started building cars based on original French parts. The cars were fairly light in construction (about 475 kilograms) and were already quite aerodynamically designed. The cars were available with a four-cylinder monobloc engine with a capacity of 1593 cc or 1743 cc. The latter reached a top speed of 75 km/h and had a consumption of 8.5 liters per 100 km. There was a choice between three types of bodywork: a two-seater roadster (Type Z), a four-seater roadster (Type X) and a two-seater coupé (Type U). Production came to an end due to the First World War.
