Triangel, or De Forenede Motorfabrikker Triangel (the United Motor Factories Triangle) in Odense was a Danish manufacturer of ​​trucks, buses and trains from 1918 to 1959. These were very common on Danish roads and railways right up until the mid-1960s, when they were either scrapped or handed over to veteran clubs such as the Tramway Museum in Skjoldenæsholm and the Dansk Jernbane-Klub (Danish Railway Club) among others.  There is also a Triangel bus in the DSB Museum in Odense.

Triangel used motors by several foreign firms, as well as its own, and in several vehicles, diesel engines from Burmeister & Wain.
