The Norman Motor Company was established in Rouen under the patronage of the Ducal Council of Cherbourg, led by a coalition of noble investors, merchant capitalists, and engineers.

The company's inception aligned with the broader economic vision of Duke [[Theodoric van Orton]], who sought to create an indigenous industrial base capable of supporting both civilian commerce and military logistics. The initial aim was to produce steam-powered vehicles that could reduce reliance on traditional horse-drawn transport, especially along the strategic road networks connecting [[Quimper]], [[Casse-glace]], [[Béthencourt]], and [[Falaise]].
