Bovy-d'Heyne (Belgium) - AllCarIndex

Bovy-Dheyne was an automobile manufacturer based in Molcnbecke-St Jean, Brussels, Belgium. The company originated from Ateliers de Construction Albert Bovy, which was established in 1888 primarily for bicycle production. The first Bovy-Dheyne automobiles were produced in 1902, with significant production commencing in 1904. The vehicles were designed with versatility in mind, allowing for the conversion of bodies from tourers to commercial goods vehicles. They gained popularity as taxicabs during their early years.

One notable model from 1906 featured a 2,280 cc 2-cylinder engine and a three-speed gearbox, built on an armored wood frame. The company also produced forward-control trucks, and by the late 1900s, truck production had surpassed that of passenger cars. In 1929, Bovy merged with Brossel, another truck manufacturer that had acquired the former car maker PIPE. This merger led to the formation of Bovy-Pipe, which continued to operate under that name until 1950. Additionally, Bovy produced motorcycles until 1932.
