The Le Zèbre automobiles, created by Jules Salomon and Georges Richard in 1909 within the Rouart Frère establishments, were economical vehicles that enjoyed great success before World War I. With the financial support of Jacques Bizet, son of the famous composer Georges Bizet, they launched their first model, the Type A, which gained notable popularity due to its affordable price of 3, 000 francs, 25% cheaper than their competitors.

The choice of the name "Le Zèbre," perhaps inspired by the swiftness of an employee nicknamed as such, reflects their desire to adopt a neutral name. The company was officially named "Société anonyme des automobiles Le Zèbre" in 1911. After the success of the Type A, they developed the Type B equipped with a four-cylinder 10-horsepower engine, sold at 6, 000 francs.

During the war, their cars were used by the military, notably as liaison vehicles. However, after the conflict, Jules Salomon left the company in 1917 to join André Citroën, and Bizet also disengaged. Despite several attempts to regain success, the brand closed its doors in 1931. A remarkable specimen of the 1909 Type A remains as a testament to the history of this marque.
