Dalifol & ThomasTwin-De Dion Voiturette
Production1896–1898
Recorded originFrance
ClassPioneer voiturette and motor tricycle
An encyclopedia-described voiturette built in the Dulac factory at Montreuil-sous-Bois and distinguished by two separate De Dion engines. Accessible sources do not explain whether the engines drove a common shaft, separate wheels or another combining mechanism, so no synthetic layout is asserted. The cited 1896–98 span conflicts with a French account placing Dalifol & Thomas automobile production at Paris in 1898–1900; both are retained, and this early type is not merged with the materially different 1899 L'Abeille.
