Motobloc
Motobloc was a French
manufacturer, building vehicles from 1902 to 1931 in a factory in Bordeaux
.
History
The company was a descendant of the earlier Schaudel marque, which was noted for the development of an innovative engine design which combined the engine, clutch and gearbox in a single main casing. Unfortunately, this made it so that engine oil would seep into the transmission.[1] Schaudel constructed automobiles from 1900 to 1902, and in June 1902 "la Societe Anonyme des automobiles Motobloc" was established to continue vehicle production based on the Schaudel designs.
A 1908 model Motobloc was among the six entries in the
