H. C. Fredriksen coined Anglo-Dane for Danish bicycles assembled with British parts, then extended the badge to motor vehicles in 1902. Early light trucks used Belgian Kelecom single-cylinder engines. Fredriksen subsequently adopted proprietary 4–5 hp singles and a double-disc friction transmission described as providing the equivalent of twelve ratios; a few twin-cylinder passenger cars included a documented 1908 landaulet. Roughly seventy vehicles were built before Anglo-Dane merged with Jan and Thrige in 1917 to form De forenede Automobilfabriker, whose later commercial vehicles carried the Triangel name.
