Gobron-Brillié is a former French manufacturer of automobiles from Boulogne-Billancourt, who was active between 1898 and 1903.
Eugène Brillié and Gustave Gobron Gobron-started in the Société Brillié 1898 with the construction of automobiles. The first models had a special type of combustion engine as opposed piston engine: in each cylinder, two opposing pistons worked on two crankshafts at opposite ends of motor. From 1900 Nagant built the model under license.
From 1903 the cars were only sold as Gobron, as Eugène Brillié left the company to produce cars in Le Havre by the name Brillié.
