Delaugère & Cie of 89 rue d'illiers, Orléans displayed tricycles at l'exposition Universelle de Paris in 1898, which were fitted with 2½ hp or 3 hp engines. There is one known survivor, an 1899 model believed to be in the collection of the brothers Martin. From 1900, the firm also built quadricycles and other four-wheelers under the original name, which changed to Delaugere et Clayette.
In 1926 the company was purchased by Panhard and Levassor.
