THE STORY
OF DUQUEINE
THE ORIGIN
The history of DUQUEINE Group began in 1976 when the brothers Gilles and Vincent DUQUEINE built competition single-seaters. This adventure will lead them to a world first : the first F3 with a carbon hull at the end of 1983. In 1989, Gilles DUQUEINE directed his development towards aeronautics to create an international group of rank 1, with 5 production sites around the world (France, Romania, Mexico) and more than 900 employees.
THE CONSTRUCTOR
At the end of 2017, the DUQUEINE Group bought the prototype manufacturer NORMA. The activities join DUQUEINE Team on the site of the Pôle Mécanique d'Alès-Cévennes and take the name of DUQUEINE Automotive. The DUQUEINE D08, the latest in LMP3, shines on the whole international scene.
THE GROUP'S DEVELOPMENT
On the Pôle Mécanique d'Alès, the various departments (Administrative, Marketing, Sales, Design Office, Production, Technical Support) of DUQUEINE Automotive work together in order to promote the DUQUEINE D08 worldwide and to develop projects related to new modes of propulsion (hybrid, electric, hydrogen, etc.).
IN THE HEART OF THE CÉVENNES
We are located on the Pôle Mécanique d'Alès in order to benefit from the city's dynamism towards mechanical sports.
Champions such as Romain Dumas and Stéphane Sarrazin come from there. The agglomeration of Alès is a major support for the development of mechanical sports.
The recently refurbished track allows it to be used in both directions (unique in Europe) with two different track configurations per direction.
