Thrige (automobile)
The Thrige was a Danish automobile manufactured in Odense between 1911 to 1917 by the Thomas B. Thrige [1]company (now T-T Electric).
The company was founded in 1894 and made electric motors.
The first vehicles were electrically powered trucks coming from the company's background in electric motor manufacture. Car manufacture followed using 4-cylinder engines from Ballot and Daimler. The trucks moved to engines from White and Poppe, Continental and Hercules.
The 1914 car used a 12 hp Ballot engine driving the rear axle through a three-speed gearbox. There was no differential on the rear axle.[1]
In 1918 they automobile manufacturing part of the Thomas B. Thrige company merged with Anglo-Dane and JAN to form De forenede Automobilfabrikker A/S. No more cars were made, the new company manufacturing mainly buses under the Triangel brand until 1950.
