Dynamobil (Germany) - AllCarIndex

Dynamobil was a German automotive manufacturer founded in 1906 by E.H. Geist Elektrizitätswerke AG, based in Cologne. The company specialized in innovative drive systems, particularly the 'mixte' or petrol-electric drive system, which combined traditional internal combustion engines with electric motors.

Although Dynamobil primarily focused on commercial vehicles, it also produced a car chassis in its inaugural year. This chassis was notable for being powered by a 24-horsepower petrol engine, which in turn generated power for two 12-horsepower electric motors. This unique approach to vehicle propulsion reflected the company's commitment to exploring advanced technologies in the early automotive industry.

Dynamobil's contributions to the development of hybrid drive systems were significant during its operational period, although the company did not achieve long-term success in the competitive automotive market.
