Aerfer was an Italian manufacturing company created in 1955 by the merger of IMAM and Meridionali. The name is a contraction of Costruzioni Aeronautiche e Fer roviarie (Aeronautical and Railway Constructors). Based in Naples, Italy, mainly an aeroplane builder, also built a range of lightweight buses between about 1952 and 1965. The largest and most impressive of those were a series of three-door double deckers for Florence (Firenze) built during the beginning of the 1960's. They had a capacity of 100 persons and a rear-mounted 150 horse power Fiat engine.
