The Typ Ct is powered by a petrol engine of 3.6 litres and 35 hp – a modest output for its time, suited more to driving a light, open body than to high speeds. The vehicle weighs 2,400 kg, is 4.28 m long, 1.65 m wide and 2.00 m tall, with a wheelbase of 3.05 m. The narrow body and the wheelbase, short relative to the overall length, point to a compact body with only a few rows of seats.

In the pioneering era of motoring, small omnibuses derived from car technology served routes that had no railway, often shuttling between a town and its station. A petrol engine of comparatively modest displacement, as fitted here, was sufficient for such short, slowly driven routes; separate licence categories and vehicle classes for buses, as they exist today, had not yet been established at this time.

A vehicle of this age survives today essentially only as a single museum piece or as a restoration project for classic-car enthusiasts. Worth checking are the condition of the frame and wooden body, the ignition and carburettor of the petrol engine, the operation of the mechanical brakes, and whether original parts or only reproductions have been fitted; spare parts run exclusively through specialist classic-vehicle restorers.
