Louis Delâge had worked in a leading position for Peugeot from 1903 and gained experience in automobile production there . At the end of 1904 he gave up the post to start his own business. On January 10, 1905, he recruited Augustin Legros from Peugeot. Legros had previously worked at Clément & Cie and the Daimler Motor Company in England . He started developing vehicles. It was not until August 1905 that Delâge founded the company Delâge et Compagnie together with Alfred Charles Ernest Sebastian Baudier . Delâge contributed his technical knowledge and Baudier 40,000 francs . This amount corresponded to the purchase price of five to six cheap cars, so it was low. The company was based in Levallois-Perret . Initially, a few accessories for Levêque et Bodenréder were created .

On August 16, 1905, the first model was Type A presented the national Administration. Approval was granted on August 18, 1905. All vehicles were given the brand name Delage , i.e. without a circumflex on the a. The company name was soon abandoned. On October 12, 1905, the second Type B model with a weaker engine was approved. Both models had a chassis from Malicet & Blin and a single cylinder engine from De Dion-Bouton . They only differed in engine power.

In December 1905 Delage first exhibited at the Paris Motor Show . There I got in touch with Colonel Lucas, who lent 150,000 francs as a donor on the condition that his son would be employed. This son later took part in car races as a co-driver and mechanic. At the end of 1905 there were 13 employees. According to Legros, there were many customer requests for a motor with 6  HP power, so it was between the two models offered.

At the beginning of 1906 a larger plant was moved into the same city. In June 1906 two new models appeared. The Type C was a taxi that was developed on behalf of a visitor to the automobile exhibition. Type D was a passenger car that was offered for several years. Baudier resigned, while Henri Davène de Roberval became the new partner. He was a director at Malicet & Blin, the chassis supplier. In the same year, the company took part in motorsport for the first time. The successes should have a positive effect on awareness and sales. In November the Type E appeared as a more powerful variant of the Type D. At the end of the year, 36 people were employed. For comparison: Renault had 1,500 employees.

In the spring of 1907 another larger factory was moved into. The Type F appeared in July of that year, replacing the Type A. The chassis was more modern and longer, which enabled bodies as a double phaeton with side access. At the end of the year the number of employees was 85.

At the beginning of 1908, the Type G, the first model with a two-cylinder engine, followed . The Type H , which had a four-cylinder engine , followed in March . The engines continued to come from De Dion-Bouton. Both models had a chassis very similar to the Type F and expanded the range upwards. The sports version of the Type F was now called Type FC . In the same year the company presented vehicles at a motor show in Moscow . Sales there are said to have only started in 1910 and were in the range below twelve vehicles. That same year Delage also exhibited at the London Motor Show , which led to sales in the UK . The Type L appeared at the end of 1908 . It had a four-cylinder Chapuis-Dornier engine . 116 people were employed at the end of the year. 300 vehicles are said to have been manufactured that year.

In early 1909 a building in Paris was rented. An exhibition room , a spare parts store and a distribution warehouse were housed there. That year the Type J , Type M and Type R appeared one after the other . Établissements Ballot was added as an engine supplier . There was also an agreement that Ballot would manufacture half of the motors, but label them as Delage motors, and Delage would manufacture the other half itself. This was the beginning of our own engine production. In addition, Legros has now designed its own chassis. Many of the bodies were made by the local coachbuilder François Repusseau , who worked from 1907 to 1914. In addition, bodies by J. Kelsch , Heckenbenner and Carrosserie Ottin are mentioned. Arthur Michelat was hired. 143 people were employed at the end of the year.

In January 1910 the Type T and Type U appeared , which replaced the Type F. Type AB , Type AC , Type AD and Type AE followed in April . The type AH with the first six-cylinder engine received its type approval in July 1910. The engine probably came from Malicet & Blin. The number of employees rose to 204 at the end of the year.

In 1911 the type TR supplemented the range. This was the combination of the chassis of the Type T with the engine of the Type R. Maurice Gaultier was discontinued. The number of employees at the end of the year was 254. They manufactured around 750 cars.

In 1912 a plot of land in Courbevoie was acquired and a new factory was built there. Type AI and Type AK received their approval in November . The latter replaced the type AH. 315 people were employed at the end of the year. The production number was around 1000.

In 1913 the old factory in Levallois was sold to Menier . Revised versions of Type R and Type AB were released that year. At the end of the year the number of employees was 552. They produced around 1,300 vehicles.

The type AM received its approval in May 1914 . 600 employees have been handed down for January 1914 and 725 for July 1914. A maximum of 130 to 150 vehicles were produced per month, although it should be noted that the number was lower in the winter half-year.

During the First World War were grenades manufactured. In 1914 and 1915 a number of trucks and pick-ups were built for the military . The vehicles delivered first had payloads of 2 to 5  tons and the later ones of 1250 kg. The production of cars continued on a small scale. On January 1, 1915, 414 people were employed. At the end of 1915, Type BI and Type BK received their type approval.

On January 1, 1916, 1030 people were employed. There were women among them. On February 22nd, 1916, the national licensing authority approved the type CO in its first version. Again the military took away a number of vehicles. The plan was that only this model would be offered after the end of the war.

On January 1, 1917, the number of employees had decreased slightly to 1,016. The type CO with an even larger engine was registered on July 27, 1917. The six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4524 cm³ was the largest engine in a Delage until then.

On January 1, 1918, the number of employees rose again to 1,100.

On January 1, 1919, only 511 people were employed. The Type CO appeared on the general market where it was the only Delage model at the time. Delage benefited from the fact that the model had already been developed and extensively tested, while many competitors were forced to offer old models. However, the car was far too expensive for the poor post-war period. Louis Delâge did not listen to the advice of his colleague Legros, who had recommended a smaller and therefore cheaper model. Delage gave a license to Bernard , who made 400 copies of the previous Type AM . The cars cost more than the comparable Citroën Type A .

On January 1, 1920, Delage employed 1211 people. The clumsy model policy with only one expensive model, inflation and the general poor economic situation resulted in many unsold vehicles standing around in June 1920. Their value was about a third of the annual turnover. On July 23, 1920, the smaller type DO received its type approval. This intermediate model generated more sales. It was first presented at the Belgian Motor Show. Delage also manufactured parts for Automobiles Alcyon , Hispano-Suiza and other companies.

786 employees have been recorded for January 1, 1921. The type GS received its approval on March 1, 1921. GS stood for Grand Sport . It was the sports version of the Type CO . The Type DE was type- tested on October 3, 1921. It was smaller and cheaper than the DO type .

On January 1, 1922, 1114 people were employed. The type GS received its approval on April 20, 1922 in a new version.

In January 1923 the number of employees rose to 1815. The new Type DI series replaced the Type DE on August 2, 1923 . It reached the highest number of pieces of all Delage models. In the fiscal year from October 1922 to September 1923, 2598 cars were sold. There were 888 buyers in Paris, 1022 in other French regions and 688 abroad. On October 19, 1923, the corporate form was changed. So far it was a simple partnership and now a company with shareholders, still with limited liability. Louis Delâge was managing director and Henri Davène de Roberval, Augustin Legros and Max Fallery were the other members of the board.

In January 1924, 2131 people were employed. The type GL was approved by the authorities on February 7, 1924. It replaced the Type CO , but had an even larger engine and was considered a luxury car. On March 1, 1924, the sport version type GL GS followed , with GS standing for Grand Sport . These models competed against Hispano-Suiza, Renault 40 CV , Farman , Rolls-Royce and Isotta Fraschini . The number of vehicles sold within twelve months rose to 2,965.

The number of employees rose to 2540 on January 1, 1925. On February 10, 1925, the type DL received its approval from the authorities. It was provided with a slightly larger engine to complement the Type DI . However, it stayed with prototypes . 3,185 vehicles were sold in the financial year. Of this, 52% was exported.

On January 1, 1926, 2,459 people were employed. The Type DM series received its approval from the authorities on February 9, 1926 and increased the range. However, it was only presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1926. In the financial year either 3,050 vehicles were sold or 3,484 were manufactured, of which 2,933 were delivered. The supply of unsold cars increased. That brought the first financial problems.

On January 1, 1927, the number of employees was 2298. On June 16, 1927, the Type DR.70, the first version of the Type DR series, was approved. The type DR.65 followed on June 22nd. They can be seen as the successor to the Type DI . In addition, the GN type received its approval on July 13, 1927 . It had an eight-cylinder engine and was intended to be the successor to the Type GL , but did not go into series production. In the fiscal year, 2414 vehicles were sold according to one source and 2301 were produced and 2522 delivered according to another source. That year the company made losses. Motorsport also contributed to this. At the end of the year, the company had 388 unsold cars.

On January 1, 1928 there were 2483 employees. 2722 vehicles were sold in the financial year. The business year ended with a profit.

On January 1, 1929, the number of employees rose to 3,025. At the end of March 1929, the company's own body shop was completed. So far, external bodybuilders had manufactured all bodies. The Type D.8 was approved on September 23, 1929 . The somewhat smaller Type D.6 followed on October 3, 1929 . A profit was also achieved in this financial year. On the other hand, loans have been taken out since October 1929. The production number is not recorded, but 2,657 vehicles were newly registered in France. This includes 1,245 sales in the regions outside Paris. With this number of registrations, the company was ranked 8th on the French market. It led Citroën with 57,777 ahead of Renault with 36,724 and Peugeot with 24,500. Other luxury car manufacturers lagged behind Delage. Automobiles Talbot achieved 2601, Hotchkiss et Cie 2298, Panhard & Levassor 1941, Automobiles Delahaye 966 and Hispano-Suiza 654.

The number of employees on January 1, 1930 is just as unknown as the number of production in that year. On September 24, 1930, the national licensing authority gave the Type DS its approval. It replaced the Type DR . There was a drop in sales from about 128 million francs to about 110 million. 1006 vehicles were sold outside Paris. The year was again closed with a profit.

On January 1, 1931, 2000 people were employed. In the course of the year the son, Pierre Delâge, rejoined the company after a year with Amilcar . He received a managerial position. In October 1931 a bank asked for its loan back. To do this, Delage had to take out another loan from another bank. 839 vehicles were sold outside Paris. The conversion remained more or less constant. The profit fell to 619,000 francs. That roughly corresponded to the new price of ten vehicles. In late 1931 it was announced that a front-wheel drive vehicle was being developed. The Type D.8 RAM remained a prototype.

According to a source, the number of employees rose to 3025 on January 1, 1932. That is exactly the number from 1929 and over half more than 1931. Therefore, it may be a mistake. The type D.6.11 received its approval on September 8, 1932 . It was smaller and less motorized than the other models and thus complemented the range downwards. 580 cars were sold in the provinces outside Paris. That year there was a gross loss of 8 million francs. The financial problems increased.

For January 1, 1933, 3125 employees have been handed down, which is also doubted. On July 3, 1933, two vehicles received their registration. The Type D.4 was the smallest and weakest model after the First World War. The Type D.8.15 had a small eight-cylinder engine. Outside Paris, 1189 vehicles were sold in that year, which was a significant increase over the previous year. Nevertheless, the financial problems increased. A bank report dated November 13, 1933 has come down to us. Accordingly, there were 24.6 million debt with suppliers and 9.8 million with the banks. In contrast, there were inventory values ​​of 50 million and 7 million in receivables and liquid funds.

On January 1, 1934, 2035 people were employed. A planned collaboration with Peugeot failed. One of the banks asked for their loan to be repaid. On May 18, 1934, Louis Delâge informed the banks that his suppliers had merged into a group to which he had transferred his company shares, naturally with the right to buy back. In that year, three models were type-tested and approved by the national approval authority. First on September 5th the Type D.8.85 and on November 17th the Type D.8.105 with a more powerful engine of the same size, which together replaced the Type D.6 . In between, the Type D.6.65 came from October 3rd as the successor to the Type DS . The designer was Léon Michelat. Some sedans received an aerodynamic structure. Gnome et Rhône is said to have submitted a takeover offer for 100 million, with the condition that the name Delage disappear. The latter was not acceptable. The production figures for the business year 1934 are not recorded, but the sales figures. Accordingly, 611 vehicles were sold in Paris, 936 in the rest of France and 135 for export. In total, that's 1682 cars.

On January 1, 1935, 865 people were employed. Louis Delâge continued to fight for the continued existence of his company. Many suppliers were willing to make concessions. Some dealers were also involved. On April 10, 1935, the type D.6.80, the last model under his leadership, received approval from the national approval authority. On April 16, he applied for voluntary liquidation . In a letter to his dealers, Louis Delâge emphasized that it was neither bankrupt nor judicial liquidation.

1935: Société Nouvelle des Automobiles Delage

From 1935: Delage Type D.6.60
From 1936: Delage Type D.8.120

Mr. Bévierre was appointed liquidator. It continued on a small scale under his direction. It is unclear whether only spare parts were produced or whether vehicles that had been started were completed. Material and machines were offered to the suppliers. The Briton Walter Sinclair Watney, who lives in France, bought many spare parts. On July 16, he acquired the rights to the Delage brand name. He announced that vehicle production would continue. Watney was rich and operated a new and used car dealership in Paris with Autex . However, he did not have a suitable production facility. Initially there were contacts with Automobiles Unic , which at the time mainly produced commercial vehicles and had slack sales. However, it would have taken 18 to 24 months to start production at the Puteaux plant . So Watney signed an agreement with Delahaye that would manufacture the Delage vehicles in the future. On July 24, 1935, Watney informed the dealers by letter. On September 18, he founded the Société Nouvelle des Automobiles Delage , or SNAD for short, based in Paris. Directors were Louis Delâge, Joseph Talma, Walter Watney, Benoît Gautheron, René Goelitzer and Maurice Goeminne. Delage became the first president. The new company's first 40 vehicles were built in September. Bodies were created outside. So came the serial bodies from Autobineau and many other bodies from Letourneur et Marchand , Carrosserie Labourdette , Ateliers Henri Chapron and Figoni & Falaschi . The type DI-12 based on the Delahaye 134 was approved on September 5 or October 5, 1935. Type D.6.60 and Type D.6.70 followed on November 12th . They were also based on a Delahaye chassis. Around 350 vehicles were manufactured in the fiscal year. Louis Delâge was given the right to manufacture a dozen racing cars a year. That company may have been STAS . As far as is known, only one vehicle was built.

On January 1, 1936, 515 people were employed, 250 of them in chassis construction at Delahaye. On January 23, 1936, an enhanced version of the Type D.6.70 received its approval. On March 14, 1936, followed by Type B D.6.80 , on 24 June 1936, the Type D.8.100 and on 7 August 1936, the Type D.8.120 . At the Geneva Motor Show in the spring of 1936 a version of the Type DI-12 was shown and offered until at least October 1936, which had a body from the Citroën Traction Avant .

On November 8, 1937, the enhanced version of the Type D.8.120 received its approval.

1938: Société Anonyme Française des Automobiles Delage

Delage Type D 6-3 liters as a convertible

In the summer of 1938 the liquidator was able to sell the factory in Courbevoie. In this way, the outstanding debts of the original company were settled at least at one bank, possibly also at all other banks. On July 30, 1938, Watney announced a successor company called Société Anonyme Française des Automobiles Delage , or SAFAD for short. It was active from August 1, 1938. The seat was Delahaye's address. Delahaye held 945 shares, Watney 20, Louis Delâge 5, Georges Morane 10, François Desmarais 10 and Pierre Peigney also 10. In total, that's 1000 shares. In principle, that was the takeover by Delahaye. SNAD remained active as a dealer for the Paris region and then sold Delahaye vehicles in addition to Delage. 1619 vehicles were sold between October 1935 and June 1938. The type D.6.75 received its approval on September 15th . The enhanced version of the Type D.8.100 followed on October 19 and the Type DI-50 on November 10 .

The last Delage model was type-tested on April 11, 1939. This was the Type D 6-3 liters . Except for a slightly larger engine, it largely corresponded to the Type D.6.75 . In June there were plans for a large Type D 160 , but they were no longer fully implemented. In the year 1068 Delage and Delahaye were created. For comparison: Hotchkiss came up with 1829, Panhard & Levassor with 639 and Talbot with 599.

In 1940 the Générale Française pour la Construction Automobile , GFA for short , was founded. These included Delahaye, Hotchkiss, Laffly , Latil , Corre-La Licorne , Saurer France , Unic and Delage as a department of Delahaye. Mainly it was about trucks. Watney was replaced as President on December 24, 1940.

In 1943 François Desmarais became the new president.

After the end of World War II , times were bad. This was especially true for manufacturers of expensive automobiles. Six bodies were found at Autobineau. It turned out that they would fit on the chassis of the Delahaye 134 in the long version. However, it is unclear whether such vehicles were actually produced. In November 1945 there were plans for 90 vehicles of the Type D 6-3 liters , the only series post-war model. But none were delivered that year.

In April 1946 the first vehicles were ready. As early as March 1946, some of the existing chassis were lengthened and given an open body. In September 1946 a used car was made ready to drive. In October 1946, the Type D-180 was presented at the Paris Motor Show, although no series production is known. The total number of assembled vehicles of the Delahaye and Delage brands was 421 units that year.

In 1947, 380 Delahaye and Delage were created. The majority was exported. For comparison: Talbot had 155 vehicles and Hotchkiss 90.

In the spring of 1948 the group began to rationalize . The bumpers and some parts of the chassis were now identical for both brands. 573 Delahaye and Delage have survived for 1948. Charles Weiffenbach stated in an interview that the plant has a capacity for 150 cars and 150 trucks per month. In the current month 80 cars and 100 trucks would be manufactured. Obviously it was a month with higher production than usual. About a third of the cars were Delage, the rest Delahaye.

In 1949 Delahaye ran into financial difficulties. In that year 511 Delahaye and Delage were made.

In 1950 the number dropped to 225.

In 1951 there were only 77. Delage's share was close to zero.

In 1952 Delahaye produced 41 luxury cars. The production of 3217 off-road vehicles of the Delahaye VLR type provided employment. Delage were apparently no longer produced.

36 cars have been handed down for 1953. In October 1953, the last Delage model was still included in the price lists and shown at the Paris Motor Show. It was announced that production would end in late 1953. In fact, production ended earlier.

The last Delage were offered in 1954.

Altogether, under the direction of Delahaye, around 2000 Delage were made between 1935 and 1939 and around 330 after 1945.

Since the last series model was type-tested in 1939 with the number 51.731, a total production of over 50,000 vehicles can be assumed.

Allegedly there were plans to participate in the Coupe des Pyrenées as early as 1905 , but they were not carried out. The first race participation was in the Coupe des Voiturettes . The race for small cars took place from November 5th to 11th, 1906 in the region around Rambouillet . Delage reported three vehicles. The driver Pessonneaux with the mechanic Louis Chenard formed one team and Ménard with Lucas a second. Laillault did not start. Pessonneaux and Chenard dropped out by accident. Ménard and Lucas achieved second place with their Type A behind a Peugeot.

In the spring of 1907, Ménard finished second in his class in a race in Provence . Three Type Fs took part in the Coupe des Voiturettes in autumn. The Pellegrin / Chenard team was eliminated. Lucas and Bonnard, who took turns driving, finished in seventh place. The third driver was Ménard.

On July 6, 1908, the Grand Prix des Voiturettes took place in Dieppe . Némorin Causan , who later headed Automobiles Causan , designed a special racing engine. The driver was Albert Guyot , who later ran Établissements Guyot , and Reyrol was his co-driver. They won the race with the Type ZC . A Sizaire Naudin and two Lion Peugeot followed . René Thomas with co-driver Houlet finished fifth in a Type FC . This was the sports version of the Type F with a high-performance De Dion-Bouton engine. Lucas and Chenard took twelfth place in another Type FC.

On June 25, 1911, the Coupe des Voitures légères took place in Boulogne-sur-Mer . The displacement was limited to 3 liters. Delage used four Type X vehicles . Paul Bablot won ahead of Georges Boillot in a Lion-Peugeot, René Thomas in the second Delage, Albert Guyot in the third Delage and Porporato in a Grégoire . Victor Rigal in the fourth Delage was eliminated.

On July 12, 1913 took place at the Circuit de Picardie in Amiens the French Grand Prix in 1913 instead. Delage was considered a favorite. Bablot came fourth with the Type Y and Guyot came fifth. Participation in the Grand Prix de l'ACO 1913 on August 5, 1913 in Le Mans with the same type of vehicle was more successful . The team Bablot, Losson and Léon Molon won ahead of the team Guyot / Achille Seeuws . Arthur Duray finished fifth.

On May 30, 1914, Delage took part in the Indianapolis 500 . Thomas won while Guyot finished third. The French Grand Prix 1914 on July 4, 1914 ended with the eighth for the team Duray / Mathys in a Type S .

In 1922 the Type DF , also called Sprint 1 , was created based on the Type GS . It was intended for hill climbs and speed drives. In the same year the Type 2 LS was developed based on the Type DE . In that year the vehicle was no longer used, but from 1923 onwards. The Gran Premio de San Sebastián has been handed down in 1923 with driver Charles Belben and in 1925 in the same place with driver André Marandet .

The Type 2 LCV with a twelve-cylinder engine followed in the summer of 1923 . At the end of 1923 the type DH appeared with a large engine.

In the 1924 French Grand Prix on the Circuit de Lyon , which took place on August 3, 1924, three Type 2 LCVs took part. The team Albert Divo / Henri Frètet came second, Robert Benoist / Carra third and Thomas / Lhermitte sixth. On July 6, 1924, Thomas set two land speed records with the Type DH . He managed the kilometer with a flying start with 230.55 km / h and one mile with 230.63 km / h. At the Gran Premio de San Sebastián 1924 on September 27, 1924 André Morel finished third and Divo fourth in their Type 2 LCV .

Participation in the Belgian Grand Prix in 1925 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on June 28, 1925 with the Type 2 LCV was unsuccessful. The French Grand Prix in 1925 was won. The Benoist / Divo team won ahead of Louis Wagner / Paul Torchy . At the Gran Premio de San Sebastián 1925 on September 19, 1925, Divo / Morel won by Benoist and Thomas. Torchy had a fatal accident.

At the Targa Florio in 1926 took four Type 2 LCV part. They were the strongest cars in the race, but that didn't bring any advantage on the winding track. Bugatti dominated the race. Giulio Masetti had a fatal accident. Then Benoist, Divo and Thomas gave up. For the motorsport year 1926 there was a new displacement limit of 1500 cm³. Delage developed the Type 15 S 8 for this . At the Gran Premio de San Sebastián 1926 on July 18, 1926, the team Edmond Bourlier / Robert Sénéchal came second, Morel / Benoist fourth and Benoist / Sénéchal / Wagner sixth. Bugatti took first, third and fifth place. The Grand Prix of Great Britain on August 7, 1926 on the circuit of Brooklands won Wagner / Sénéchal, while Benoist / André Dubonnet were third.

Benoist, Bourlier and Morel took the first three places in the 1927 French Grand Prix on July 3, 1927 at the Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry . Four weeks later, Benoist won the 1927 Spanish Grand Prix in San Sebastián in front of a Bugatti and Bourlier . Benoist won again the 1927 Italian Grand Prix on September 4, 1927 in Monza . The 1927 British Grand Prix on October 1, 1927 saw a triple victory for Benoist, Bourlier and Divo. Delage won the world championship title in the 1927 Grand Prix season .

From 1928 Delage no longer took part in car races at the factory. Nevertheless, some racing cars were used privately. Malcolm Campbell won the Grand Prix de Dieppe on June 9, 1928 .

In 1936 there were plans to take part in the Le Mans 24-hour race again . A vehicle was built. However, the race was canceled.

From June 19 to 20, 1937, Louis Gérard and Jacques de Valence drove the privately owned vehicle from the previous year at Le Mans. They achieved fourth place overall and were class winners. The Type 4 D 12 is a specialty . Apparently it was manufactured by STAS . This was the company mentioned above, with which Louis Delâge was allowed to manufacture individual racing cars. The only vehicle produced was used in one race each in 1937 and 1938, but could not achieve any success.

On September 3, 1938, Gérard won the RAC Tourist Trophy on the Donington Park race track with the same vehicle that he had raced the previous year at Le Mans, but with a different body .

The 24-hour race at Le Mans took place from June 17 to 18, 1939 . Delage used two Type D 6-3 liters . Louis Gérard and Georges Monneret came second. The Armand Hug / Roger Loyer team dropped out.

At the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans Delage took part again. The team Henri Louveau / Juan Jover came in second and Gérard / Paco Godia in fourth. The teams Auguste Veuillet / Edmond Mouche and Marc Versini / Gaston Serraud did not reach the goal.

The last participation in Le Mans was in 1950 . The only team deployed Louveau / Jean Estager finished seventh.

The Béquet-Delage is a specialty . The racing driver Maurice Béquet combined the racing car chassis of a Delage from 1922 with a V8 aircraft engine with a displacement of around 12 liters from Hispano-Suiza. The vehicle still exists.

Drawings of the Kellner-Béchereau 28 VD aircraft with a Delage aircraft engine

Between 1930 and 1935 the company developed aircraft engines . The competition with Hispano-Suiza, Gnome et Rhône, Renault , Lorraine and Potez was great. The first engine Delage 12 GVIS had twelve cylinders in V-shape , 11,974 cm³ displacement and about 500 hp. Since there was no order from the French Air Force , the development of this engine was abandoned.

The Delage 12 CDIS was developed and used for the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe 1933 . Its displacement was slightly smaller at 7964 cm³ and complied with the regulations. The aircraft was named Kellner-Béchereau 28 VD. The engine was over -revved and was damaged. The plane crashed near Étampes .
