Rocar De Simon 412E was a model of trolleybus that was manufactured by Trolleybuses Rocar 412E in Bucharest.
/ref> Although the bus version was also available with 2 doors, the 412E was only built with the 3-door body. Transmission of all 412E is from Autocamioane Brașov, probably because the motor is somehow identical to the Rocar DAC 112/117/212/217 series. Although it was meant as a replacement for 112/117/212/217 series, they were built in parallel. Like its bus counterpart, it had no articulated version built by ROCAR. Low floor 812E or/and ROCAR Solaris Urbino were designed as its successors, but ROCAR went bankrupt. 5 412E Trolleybuses were sent from Constanta to Piatra Neamt in early 2015, as Constanta shut down its system use in 2010. All 5 are in operation and it is expected for the other 10 to be sent to Piatra Neamt or other cities if needed. They are numbered 158–163. RATB still operates one, #7459, but it was put in storage along with Rocar 812E Trolleybus #7460 due to high maintenance costs. #7454 was scrapped since 2009.
A similar trolleybus was the Inbus F140, built in 1981, scrapped in 2008. The Rocar De Simon bodywork design was based upon multiple De Simon-bodied buses in Italy, including some Inbus designs.
