1883, the world's earliest two-wheeled, three-wheeled and four-wheeled cars and trams were born in Germany. A German named karl friedrich benz and two other partners co-founded the German Rheinland Gas Engine Factory, and obtained a business license to produce gasoline engines. However, the gasoline engine produced at that time,
Although the business of gasoline engines was very good at that time, karl benz, as an entrepreneur, inventor and engineer, was not dissatisfied. One day, he suddenly had an idea that seemed almost crazy at that time-he wanted to install a gasoline engine on the car and let the machine drive the car instead of cattle and horses.
Sure enough, many things happen. Two years later, at the beginning of 1886, karl benz successfully installed a gasoline engine on a tricycle and applied for a patent for a tricycle powered by a gasoline engine. Thus, the world's first car was born.
At about the same time, another German engineer named gottlieb daimler was also doing research in this field. 1885, Daimler and its partner William Maibakh also successfully registered R&D and produced gasoline engines, and installed their gasoline engines on a wooden two-wheeled vehicle. In this way, the world's first two-wheeled vehicle, actually called motorcycle, was born in Daimler's hands.
Daimler didn't stop after successfully manufacturing motorcycles. 1886, that is, in March of the following year, Daimler successfully installed a gasoline engine on a four-wheeled carriage, so the world's first four-wheeled car was born. By the way, the world's first four-wheeler made by Daimler was actually a birthday present for his wife.
The earliest two-wheeled, three-wheeled and four-wheeled cars in the world were first invented by Germans. Of course, their birthplace is also Germany. So, which German participated in the first tram in the world?
As we know, trams are divided into trams and trolleybuses. Trams probably rose in the 1970s, and appeared relatively late. The first trolley bus was a trolley bus. Trolley cars were very popular in the 1980s of 19, and all this was definitely contributed by a German, that is Werner von Siemens. Siemens is German, so the birthplace of his earliest tram is naturally Germany.
