Hotchkiss Cars

Hotchkiss built a 24hp automobile in 1904 having established itself with the manufacture of guns and parts for other automobiles. The 1904 car had a unique 'Hotchkiss Drive' swing axle transmission. During the first world war Hotchkiss established a gun factory in Coventry in 1915, which diversified into manufacturing engines (used in the Bullnose Morris) and other automotive components. Hotchkiss sold the Coventry factory to Morris in 1923. Parts of Hotchkiss were nationalised and the Amilcar company merged in late 1930s. After WW2, Hotchkiss existed mainly on the production of trucks and the American Jeep. Hotchkiss merged with Delahaye in 1954 but by 1955 only American Jeeps were being made, and military production carried on until 1971.
