Trebert Gas Engine Company

The Trebert Gas Engine Company was founded by Henry L. Trebert, In early 1902, he left his position as superintendent of the Stearns Steam Carriage Company in Syracuse, New York. He decided to venture into the business of manufacturing gasoline engines in Rochester, New York. Later in the year his new Trebert Gas Engine Company made a two-cylinder ten horse-power engine that he marketed. In 1911, the line of products was expanded to include engines of two to forty horse-power. By 1907 a five-seater automobile with a 30 horse-power engine was built that had the Trebert name. Meanwhile, Trebert himself had left the company and went in partnership with another gasoline engine builder.[1][2]
