Solex story
Carburetors Solex carburetors were until the mid 1980s used on many European cars including Volkswagen, Alfa-Romeo, Fiat, Audi, BMW, Citroen, Opel, Simca, Saab, Renault, Peugeot, Lancia, Mercedes Benz and Porsche. Solex carburetors have been made under licence by a number companies including the Mikuni company of Japan who supplied them to auto makers including Mitsubishi and Suzuki as well as to various Japanese motorcycle makers. Mikuni originally entered into a licensed manufacturing agreement with Solex in 1960 and further developed many of Solex's original designs. The Solex brand is now owned by Magneti Marelli. The original Solex company changed its name in 1994 to Magneti Marelli France and on May 31, 2001, Magneti Marelli France partially brought its assets (including the trademark SOLEX) from Magneti Marelli Motopropulsion France S.A.S. |
