Hurtu was a pioneering French car made by Diligeon et Cie based in Albert, Somme from 1896 to 1930.

Four wheel vehicles followed in 1897 with a close copy of the German Benz, a version of which was also made in England by Belsize Motors in Manchester.

In 1900 the Benz type car was replaced by a new model powered by a De Dion-Bouton 3.5 hp single-cylinder engine with shaft drive and 2- or 4-seat open coachwork.

1913 production seems to have been around 600 cars[1] comprising 4-cylinder models of 1692cc and 2120cc capacity with the gearbox and engine constructed in-unit.

After World War I car production re-commenced and from 1920 a conventional front-radiator 2358cc four-cylinder model appeared with front wheel brakes being fitted from 1922.
