Armand Peugeot produced his first prototype car as early as 1880 and in 1891 produced a batch of five cars each slightly different from the rest. He had been in contact with Gottlieb Daimler and Emile Levassor and formed a collaboration to produce cars with a Daimler patent engine, produced by Panhard Levassor under licence.

 

By 1895 he had decided to go his own way, tiring of the family firm he founded SA des Peugeot at uAdincourt in 1897 then in Paris from 1900. The new company produced 323 in 1899 and 500 in 1900. The light cars had rear mounted engines, while the heavier cars had their engines under the front seat. By 1902 the designs were modernised by Louis Delage, who remained with the company until 1905
