The Peugeot Type 30 is an early motor vehicle produced between 1900 and 1902 by the French auto-maker Peugeot at their Audincourt plant. 84 were produced.
The vehicle was powered by a rear-mounted four-stroke engine, manufactured by Peugeot themselves. The engine's two cylinders were mounted in parallel and not in the V-format used for
chain-drive
mechanism.
The car was in effect an open-topped development of the manufacturer’s Type 21, introduced two years earlier. A wheelbase of 1,650 mm (65.0 in) supported a vehicle length of 2,600 mm (102.4 in), on which sat an open-carriage format “Victoriette” body designed to accommodate three people.
