Ansaldo (Italy) - AllCarIndex

Ansaldo was an Italian automotive manufacturer founded in 1853 by Giovanni Ansaldo in Genoa, Italy. Initially established as a mechanical engineering company, Ansaldo diversified into various sectors, including the production of automobiles in the early 20th century. The company became known for its innovative designs and engineering capabilities, contributing to the development of the Italian automotive industry.

During its operational years, Ansaldo produced a range of vehicles, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The company gained recognition for its engineering excellence and was involved in the production of military vehicles during World War I. However, the automotive division faced challenges in the competitive market, leading to a decline in production.

In the 1930s, Ansaldo ceased automobile production and shifted its focus back to engineering and manufacturing in other sectors, including railways and military equipment. The brand is now primarily associated with its historical contributions to the automotive field and its legacy in engineering.
