| Biography/History: | The Rauch & Lang was an American electric automobile manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio from 1905 to 1920 and Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts from 1920 to 1932. Wagon builders Jacob Rauch and Charles E.J. Lang began producing electrically powered automobiles in 1905 with a stanhope style vehicle, by 1908 producing 500 automobiles a year. In 1916, the company merged with Baker Electric. In 1920, the Stevens-Duryea company bought out Rauch and Lang and moved production to Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. The company focused on producing taxi cabs and offered both electric and gasoline versions. Automobile production ended in 1928, but the company continued producing trucks and buses for a few more years. |
