Cars have become a means of transportation for most people. When was the world's first car manufactured in history? Let’s take a look at it today.
The world-recognized inventor of the automobile is German Carl Friedrich Benz. He developed the world's first horse-drawn carriage-style three-wheeled vehicle in 1885. The birth of the world's first car was achieved by Germans Jukal Benz and Godlip Daimler. The patent rights of automobiles, and this day is also called the birth day of automobiles.
Benz and Demre designed and manufactured a three-wheeled car equipped with a gasoline engine. However, it lacked practicality and had major performance problems. It often stalled and broke down, but this did not affect the creative enthusiasm of the two. Mercedes-Benz also obtained a patent under the founder's reinvention, and since then this car has been put into use on the streets of Mannheim. Therefore, this year is also called the birth year of the automobile by the Germans. This historic first car is now treasured in the Science and Technology Museum in Munich, Germany. It is very well preserved and can still be started today. It was insured and shipped to Beijing for the "International Family Car Seminar and Exhibition" at a sky-high price of 100 million marks. Hold an exhibition.
Another engineer, Godlip Daimler, founded an automobile manufacturing plant with his friends. He successfully invented the world's first high-compression ratio internal combustion engine, which became the modern automobile engine. The originator of. Daimler put its single-cylinder engine into a bicycle, creating the world's first motorcycle. Then, with the help of Maybach, he installed his own engine on a four-wheeled carriage and drove it at a "suffocating" speed of 18 kilometers per hour. The first four-wheeled car in human history was born. This is the world's earliest four-wheel gasoline car. He founded Daimler Engine Company and merged it with Mercedes-Benz Car Company to form Daimler-Benz Car Company.
Karl Benz sold the first car he built to Frenchman Emile Rogers, which was the first sale of a modern car in the world. In the same year, Karl Benz founded the world's first automobile manufacturing company, Mercedes-Benz Motor Company. He is the first generation ancestor of the "Mercedes-Benz" automobile company, and Benz also devoted his life to the automobile industry.
As for who is the inventor of the automobile, the French obviously have different views. The French believe that Deportiville in France invented the automobile and applied for a patent long before the Germans, which is indeed true. Unfortunately, he did not study automobiles in the future, but used the engine in industrial production. He eventually became an industrial engine manufacturer and became alienated from the automobile industry. But one thing is certain, France's huge contribution in the history of automobile development is indelible, because the French are the pioneers of the automobile industry, and it was they who made automobile manufacturing truly enter the industrial production stage.
