During the First World War, the car was used as staff cars or ambulances. They were also used as fire-engines, because of their large chassis.[2] A number of Peugeot 146s, along with Peugeot 148s and Peugeot 153s, were converted to armoured cars.[3]
The Peugeot 146, including the variant 146S and colonial variant 146A, was produced in Lille. A total of 428 examples were produced.[1]
