Genevan manufacture, the car was built by
Charles Bahni, an early collaborator of
Charles-Edouard Henriod. The Yaxa was a 1692 cc
light car which used a four-cylinder
Zedel engine; among its other touches were central gear and brake levers. Baehni drove a Yaxa to victory in the 1913
Coupe de la Gruyère; nevertheless, the marque folded a year later.
