Who invented the car?

Karl benz 1884 was born in Germany. He never met his father because his father's train driver died in an accident when he was one year old. 1860 after graduating from middle school, Mercedes-Benz went to a local technical school, where he was particularly interested in mechanical principles, especially studying heat engines and steam engines. After graduating from Mercedes-Benz technical school, I first worked as an apprentice in a machinery factory, then as the director of Mannheim Construction Company, and soon served in the army. 187 1 Mercedes-Benz, who retired at the beginning of the year, looked for jobs everywhere, and it was not until the following year that he found a friend to borrow money to set up "karl benz Iron Casting Machinery Factory". Due to the long-term economic depression, 1877, Mercedes-Benz's factory was on the verge of closure, owing 2000 marks to others, and debt collectors frequently came to the door. Mercedes-Benz didn't give up (otherwise there would be no Mercedes-Benz today). He decided to turn to the engine manufacturing industry with great development potential, and successfully developed a single-cylinder two-stroke engine on the evening of 1879+02+3 1. His factory was depressed because the engine was useless at that time. 1882, Mercedes-Benz finally got the support of a businessman and a bank, and jointly established Mannheim Gas Engine Co., Ltd. A month later, due to the contradiction between the businessman and the bank, Mercedes-Benz could not let go and angrily launched the company. Due to the premature launch, Mercedes-Benz took all the machinery and equipment as compensation. 1885, Mercedes-Benz finally built the world's first automobile (single cylinder water-cooled vertical engine, displacement of 985CC, power of 0.75 HP, maximum speed of 12 mph), and obtained the automobile manufacturing patent (registration number) on1886+129 October. 1888 In September, at the Munich Machinery Expo, Mercedes-Benz cars shocked the world. 1893, after several years' efforts, Carl Benz began to produce Victoria brand wagons (the price is 4000 marks), resulting in a backlog of products. He listened to the businessman's advice and introduced a car with only 2000 marks. As a result, he sold 125 cars a year. Mercedes-Benz has achieved success, sustained development and great wealth. Every year from 65438+February to 3 1, I started the first engine at my wife's request and recalled the difficult history of that year. 1929, karl benz died. 1886 65438+1On October 29th, karl benz invented the first tricycle without horse-drawn, which is now kept in Munich's automobile museum. Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company won the' automobile manufacturing patent right', and it was this day that was determined as the birthday of the automobile.
