+The Company '''Comotor SA''' was a joint venture between [[NSU Motorenwerke AG|NSU]] and [[Citroën]], created in Luxembourg in April 1967. Its goal was to produce [[Wankel engine]]s.
-Start off with a brief Introduction to the particular Engine.
+It followed an earlier, 1964 joint venture of both companies, the Geneva-based '''Comobil''' subsidiary, focusing on the development of the engines. Comotor engines were used by the [[Citroën M35]] and by the [[Citroën GS#GS Birotor|GS Birotor]].

+In 1969 the company purchased a large 850 000 m² plot of land at Altforweiler, half an hour to the east of Luxembourg in German Saarland<ref name=Autocar197111>{{cite journal| authorlink = Edouard Seidler | title = Upheavel of an empire: How Lotz went out and Leiding came in| journal = [[Autocar]]| volume = vol 135 (nbr 3947)| pages = pages 44 - 47|date = date 25 November 1971}}</ref> in order to build a factory.

+The venture was hamstrung by technical, reliability, and fuel consumption issues. Although Citroën took a slow and calculated development path, including a two-year 'beta-program' in which 267 [[Citroën M35]] prototypes were tested exhaustively by selected customers, rising fuel prices in 1973 nullified market demand for the fuel-thirsty engine. The vast sums that where invested in the '''Comobil''' and '''Comotor''' joint ventures were major contributors to the bankruptcy of both NSU and [[Citroën]].

+Henk Van Veen of the Netherlands designed the OCR 1000 motorcycle around the Comotor engine. His company manufactured 38 of these motorcycles between 1974 and 1978.
