The Rauch and Lang Carriage Company (est. 1884) was located in Cleveland, Ohio and began their business by creating carriages and coaches.

From 1905 through 1923 Rauch and Lang manufactured vehicles powered by electricity. The electric motor provided benefits over the gas-powered engine. Starting the electric vehicle was easy vs. the rudimentary means of spinning a crank to start a gasoline motor. The electric motor was quiet and did not produce fumes.

In 1916 they merged with Baker Electric and became known as Baker, Rauch & Lang Company.

In 1920, the passenger car section of Baker, Rauch & Lang Company was sold to the Stevens - Duryea organization, and moved to Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts.

In 1922, Rauch & Lang Inc. started producing electric powered taxicabs.

Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV)

Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) are good for running errands or commuting to work. For short city/urban travel, NEVs make perfect sense. Replacing the 2nd or 3rd vehicle in household with a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is an appealing option.

One of the main goals of Lang Motors initiative is to change our car culture. The way we as individuals and as communities think about cars. Automobile populations are continuing to soar, and cities need options and strategies for reducing emissions. Replacing the 2nd or 3rd vehicle in household with a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is one such option.

The Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) will not only change the way that you drive, but the way you live. It’s not a car, it’s a cause.

It's about helping drivers make healthy commute choices, and making cities and life more sustainable.
