Manufacturer

This dimension groups engines by the company that built them. Wikipedia describes the automotive industry as comprising "a wide range of companies and organisations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling, repairing, and modification of motor vehicles," and engine manufacture sits inside that same industry. Browsing by manufacturer lets a visitor follow one company's engines across different vehicles and decades.
