Home›Engines›Year›By Decade›1930sBrowse By1930sThis dimension groups engines by the year they were introduced. Engine history is often dated with real precision, as when Wikipedia notes that "in 1672, a small-scale steam-powered vehicle was created by Ferdinand Verbiest," decades before the automobile itself existed. Browsing by year places an engine within the wider timeline of transport technology.Facts1930sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1712 CE 11930sFilter Results58 entriesEngine TypeAllAmerican V8 Engines (1)Diesel Locomotive Engines (1)Marine Diesel Engines (1)Piston Aero Engines (5)Road Car Engines of Europe and Japan (1)ConfigurationAllFlat or Boxer (1)H Configuration (1)Opposed-Piston (1)Radial (3)V-Configuration (3)Fuel or CycleAllDiesel (2)Gasoline / Petrol (6)ManufacturerAllAlfa Romeo (2)American Locomotive Company (3)BMW Group (2)Cadillac (3)D.
