In 1903, Mors automobiles competed with Renault, Hochkiss and Vauxhall models

Mors, founded in 1851 by a Parisian craftsman, always embraced the latest technologies. The company started out as a specialist in electrical equipment, then focused on railway signals. At the beginning of the XXth century, it moved into automobile construction. Mors's chairmen were Louis and Eugène Mors, the latter a pioneer of the automotive industry, on a par with other great names, such as Bollé, Clément and Michelin.
Mors moved into electrical appliances and even developed a scooter model. It did not decide to focus once and for all on electrical installations until the 1960s. Mors then merged with Jean et Bouchon, a company specialised in electrical installations based in eastern France, and became MJB (Mors Jean Bouchon).
In 1970, holding company UEER brought together Garczynski Traploir, MJB and Fournié-Grospaud. In 1984, after merging with MJB, UEER became GTIE (Générale de Travaux et d’Installations Electriques), the VINCI group's Energy and Information division.
