Fuldamobil is the name of a series of small cars produced by Elektromaschinenbau Fulda GmbH of Fulda, Germany, and Nordwestdeutscher Fahrzeugbau (NWF) of Wilhelmshaven between 1950 and 1969.[1] Various designated versions of the car were produced, although the vehicles produced under each designation were not always identical and the designations were sometimes misapplied.[2] Though overall numbers produced were relatively small, the cars attracted sufficient attention to see licensed construction on four continents including Europe. In its ultimate configuration it is said to have inspired the term "bubble car".[a] It is acknowledged as the first car in the world to feature a negative scrub radius, now recognised as a major advance in driving safety.[4]
