Automobiles Duhanot was a French automobile manufacturer based in Paris, active during the early 20th century. The company operated primarily between 1907 and 1908, during which it produced a limited range of vehicles.
In 1907, Duhanot offered six different models, with power outputs ranging from 10 to 35 horsepower. However, it remains uncertain whether all of these models were actually manufactured. By 1908, the company's lineup had been reduced to three models: an 8/10 horsepower two-cylinder vehicle, along with two four-cylinder models rated at 12/14 and 17 horsepower. The 8/10 horsepower model was notable for its dual purpose, being marketed both as a taxi and for private use, which contributed to the company's reputation in the taxi market.
One of the innovative features of at least one 1908 model was its radiator design, which incorporated revolving tubes reminiscent of a windmill's sails. This design element highlighted the company's efforts to incorporate unique engineering solutions in their vehicles, although the overall production and legacy of Automobiles Duhanot were limited.
