Ardiurme (Spain) - AllCarIndex

Ardiurme was an early automobile brand established in 1905 in Deusto, Spain, by Artinano D’azy Hurtado de Mendoza. The company was a division of La Maquinaria Bilbaina and is notable for producing one of the first cars in the Vizcaya region.

The Ardiurme model was characterized as a comfortable Landaulet, featuring two small additional seats and a separate area for the driver, resembling a traditional carriage. This vehicle was particularly significant as it was equipped with an electric engine, marking a pioneering step in automotive technology for the area.

Despite limited technical specifications being available, it is reported that the Ardiurme had sufficient power to ascend a gradient of 1 in 7 while carrying four passengers, indicating its robust design and capability for the time.
