[1] Later, diesel engines were introduced, utilizing proprietary Lanova cylinder head designs, injection pumps and nozzles.

By the end of the century, Buda was producing a line of hand cars and velocipedes, and eventually moved into the motorcar business also.

Their engines featured long stroke, enclosed valves, noiseless timing gears, and self-contained oiling system.

Their principal competitors were Hercules, Waukesha, Continental Motors, Wisconsin, Lycoming, Rutenber, Hall-Scott, LeRoi, Weidely, and Herschell-Spillman.

The four-cylinder Buda gasoline engine was favored by many early truck manufacturers, who were converting horse-drawn vehicles to self-propelled models.

Two Buda-Lanova model DCS 1879 6 cylinder supercharged Diesel engines (6.75 bore x 8.75 stroke, 325 hp @ 1,200 rpm) were installed in both 65-DE-14a and 65-DE-19a Diesel electric centercab locomotives that were purchased by the Army and shipped over to Africa and Europe during WW II, helping Whitcomb to earn the Army-Navy "E" award.

Bus, taxi, and motorcoach makers such as Bridgeport, Luxor, and Pennant (see Barley Motor Car Co.) all used Buda engines.

Parts were available from Buda Engine Company in Shreveport, LA, till Owner Jim Cousins' passing in the early 2000s.
