ha ha! Wen Jing pretends to be over. The reason why I say so much for the first time is because Wen Jing listed the first time in the automobile history that represents scientific and technological progress.
1, the world's first automobile
In 1885, Mercedes-Benz I
In 1885, the world-recognized automobile inventor of Mercedes-Benz I
was German Carl Friedrich Ben Ci. He developed the world's first carriage-type tricycle in 1885, and won the world's first automobile invention patent on January 29, 1886. This day was called the birth day of modern automobile by most people, and Mercedes-Benz was also praised as the "father of automobile" by later generations.
to be sure, Karl Friedrich Ben Ci certainly didn't expect to form today's automobile family. Up to now, the number of cars in China alone has reached 15 million, while that in the United States has reached 25 million.
2, the world's first four-wheel vehicle, the first V-shaped car engine
At the p>1889 World Expo in Paris, France, Daimler unveiled a new four-wheel vehicle with V2 engine, which was the world's first four-wheel vehicle and the first V-shaped car engine. His inventor was German Godlip Daimler, and he was founded in 189.
3, the first time equipped with inflatable tires
In the late 18th century, all cars used wheels made of wood and metal. It was not until the Michelin brothers in France invented inflatable tires in 1894 that they brought a new revolution to tire technology. Nowadays, there are many tire brands in the market, such as Han Tai, Jiatong, Bridgestone and Chaoyang, but Michelin is still the most concerned.
4, the first use of electric lights for vehicle lighting
In p>1898, Columbia used electricity for headlights and taillights, and headlights were born. However, the original headlights could not be dimmed, so they were a little dazzling when passing the car. With the development of science and technology, there are more technological innovations about car lights, such as LED daytime running lights, xenon headlights and so on.
5, the first automobile assembly line in the world
Ford's Model T was the most successful car in the world at that time, and it was also the first four-wheeled vehicle in automobile history that could be assembled in large quantities on the production line and made affordable to everyone. In other words, this change is really necessary now. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable to rely on manpower for the country's 15 million cars. It is precisely because most cars are produced by assembly line that hand-made cars are more expensive now.
6, the first vehicle equipped with four-wheel hydraulic braking system
In p>192, Dusenberg Model A: The hydraulic system was widely used in today's automobile parts, but the time went back 1 years. At that time, most of the automobile structures were directly connected by mechanical parts. As a safety-related equipment, the hydraulic braking system was very important for driving. In 192, Dusenberg, an American luxury car brand, equipped a four-wheel hydraulic brake system for the first time on its Model A car.
7. The first time an automobile engine was equipped with an EFI system
Electronic fuel injector (EFI for short) was developed by an American company named Bendix in the 195s, and it first appeared on the AMC Rambler Rebel in 1957. After installing the EFI device, the maximum engine power of the car was increased from 255 horsepower in the carburetor version to 288 horsepower, and the effect was obvious.
8, the first car with a three-point seat belt as standard
More than p>1 years ago, there were seat belts on carriages in European and American countries to prevent passengers from being knocked off the carriages. On May 2th, 192, a car race was held in new york, USA. Engineer Wolterbeck, a contestant, was worried about being overturned and injured in a fierce car race, so he wanted to find a way to protect himself. One day, he found that the cloth strips in the toddler stroller could bind the children's bodies to prevent them from falling out of the car. Inspired by this, he also nailed several ropes to his "Torpedo" racing car, and tied himself tightly with his fellow motor mechanic during the competition.
At present, no car has a seat belt, and points will be deducted if you don't wear it. This must have been unexpected at first.
9, the world's first fully equipped automatic gearbox
In 194, the universal Hydra-Matic automatic gearbox
In 194, the universal Hydra-Matic automatic gearbox
The world's first fully automatic gearbox for mass production was the Hydra-Matic produced by General Motors in the 194s, which used a hydraulic coupler (instead of a hydraulic torque converter). Hydra-Matic was originally installed in Oldsmobile, and then Cadillac and Pontiac also adopted this transmission. The most important improvement of automatic transmission is that during World War II, Buick Company developed a hydraulic torque converter for tanks. By 1948, this hydraulic torque converter was combined with other components to form a hydraulic transmission and became a universal automatic transmission.
1, equipped with car air conditioner for the first time
1925, single heating air conditioner
1925, single heating air conditioner
1925, the method of heating by using automobile cooling water first appeared in the United States. By 1927, it developed into a relatively complete heating system with heaters, fans and air filters. This heating system did not appear in Europe until 1948. In Japan, heaters were not used for heating until 1954. At present, the on-board air conditioner has realized the partition control.
11. Airbags were first equipped
Airbags were available in the 195s. In 1953, German Walter Lindel and American John Headrick applied for a patent for their invention "an inflatable folding container, which can automatically inflate in case of danger". However, due to the difficulty of implementation, I finally had to give up.
in p>1967, when Mercedes-Benz engineers began to research and develop airbags, they were still faced with numerous challenging technical problems, although they almost completely followed the patented technology. After about 13 years of extensive and complicated research and development and experiments, as the standard equipment on Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan (W126) at that time, airbags were finally presented to the public in December 198.
12, the first vehicle equipped with VVT (variable timing valve technology)
In 198, Alfa Romeo Spider
In 198, the world's first automobile engine with variable valve timing technology was introduced by Fiat Company in the 196s, which also had variable valve lift function. At that time, the Spider 2.L released by Alfa Romeo was equipped with this technology. This fashionable convertible sports car not only has excellent shape, but also has excellent handling and economy, which makes it a classic model in the Alfa family.
13, the first vehicle equipped with turbocharging technology
In 1962, Oldsmobile Cutlass Jetfire
In 1962, the world's first turbocharger was invented by Swiss engineer Alfred Büchi, and the patent for this invention was obtained in 195. The turbocharger was originally applied to diesel engines. Nowadays, turbocharging technology is applied to many models, and there are more opinions about turbocharging technology.
14, the world's first mass-produced car equipped with ABS (anti-lock braking system)
In 1966, Jensen FF
In 1966, ABS was an early-assembled active safety device for automobiles. The first car equipped with ABS in the world was the FF model introduced by Jensen (a British automobile company) in 1966, but this car produced a lot. The world's first mass-produced vehicle equipped with ABS was the 1971 Chrysler Imperial.
15, the world's first production car equipped with ESP (Electronic Body Assist System)
In 1995, Mercedes-Benz W14 S sedan
In 1995, Mercedes-Benz W14 S sedan
Although Mercedes-Benz failed to win the honor of being the first vehicle equipped with ABS system, as one of the indispensable active safety configurations, ESP was first equipped on Mercedes-Benz W14 S sedan. But in fact, some civilian cars are not equipped with ESP.
16, the first car navigation
In 1981, Electro Gyro-Cator
In 1981, Electrogyro-Cator
The world's first automatic car navigation was a Gyro-Cator product jointly developed by Honda, Alpine and Stanley Electric, which was born in 1981. Unlike the electronic navigation we use today, this product does not use GPS satellite positioning, but it contains a helium gyroscope, which can detect the rotating motion of the vehicle. At the same time, a special servo gear is also installed in the transmission housing to help maintain the position and speed of the vehicle through its feedback information, so that the vehicle can display its position on a fixed map.
17, the first model equipped with active tire pressure monitoring
In p>1986, Porsche 959: Active tire pressure monitoring first appeared not in luxury cars, but in super sports cars that pursued speed and passion. In 1986, Porsche's flagship supercar 959 was released. In addition to its amazing performance, it was equipped with active tire pressure monitoring function for the first time to ensure driving safety. Porsche 959 will install air pressure sensors on the valves of four wheels. When the sensors receive abnormal variables, they will give an alarm and the warning lights on the dashboard will light up.
18, the world's first mass-produced front-wheel drive
Citroen Traction
19, the world's first mass-produced electric car
Lorna-Porsche electric car
Lorna-Porsche electric car
2, the world's first motor vehicle accident
1766 British inventor Watt (1736 In 1769, the French army engineer Cournot (1725~184) made the first car driven by a steam engine. Due to the failure of the steering system during the test run, it crashed into the wall of the San Slave Arsenal, which was the first motor vehicle accident in the world.
