ENV (France) - AllCarIndex

E.N.V. Motors Ltd was an English automotive manufacturer established in 1908, with its operations located in Courbevoie, a suburb of Paris, France. The company primarily focused on the production of aero engines, and its name derived from the French term "en-v," which referred to a Vee layout engine.

The company showcased its sole automobile at the 1908 Paris Salon. This vehicle was equipped with a 40 horsepower V8 engine, a 2-speed gearbox, and a 2-speed rear axle, which provided a total of four forward speeds. The design choice of using a 2-speed gearbox, rather than a more conventional 4-speed option, was notable for its complexity.

Production of E.N.V. Motors Ltd's automobile was extremely limited, and it remains uncertain whether any units were actually manufactured. The company is primarily remembered for its brief foray into the automotive industry, overshadowed by its main focus on aero engine production.
