Some sources say it was FIAT, some others General Electric, probably both are right, being the electric supply by GE and the body by FIAT. All confirm Italy as the manufacturer country. And 1958 as YM.

They were a result of a big industrial co-operation between Fiat, Breda Pistoiesi, Alfa Romeo and CGE, that was the Italian subsidiary of General Electric. Model name was Breda Pistoiesi FI311; some used Alfa Romeo 910 groups (i.e. Montevideo, Rosario and a batch for Santos) while other were based on Fiat 2405 groups (i.e. second batch for Santos).
