Home›Engines›Year›By Decade›1980sBrowse By1980sThis 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.Facts1980sConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1712 CE 11980sFilter Results109 entriesEngine TypeAllDiesel Locomotive Engines (1)Motorcycle Engine Layouts and Designs (2)Piston Aero Engines (1)Racing and Formula One Engines (7)Road Car Engines of Europe and Japan (22)Rocket Engines (1)ConfigurationAllFlat or Boxer (2)Inline (18)V-Configuration (17)Fuel or CycleAllDiesel (5)Ethanol (1)Gasoline / Petrol (14)Hydrogen (1)Methanol (1)ManufacturerAllAerojet Rocketdyne (1)Alfa Romeo (1)American Motors Corporation (2)Automobili Lamborghini (1)BMW Group (6)Cadillac (1)Cosworth (3)Daimler-Benz (7)Ducati (2)Electro-Motive Diesel (1)Fairbanks Morse (1)Ferrari (2)Ford Motor Company (8)GE Aerospace (2)GE Vernova Inc.
