127 years ago today,1886 65438+1October 29th (the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month), the world recognized that the first automobile was born.
This is mainly a question of the degree of development of productive forces. In ancient times, it was still a feudal autocratic dynasty, without capitalism, let alone the industrial revolution.
1769, Frenchman Juno made the world's first steam-driven tricycle. This car is named "Caboret", with a length of 7.32m and a height of 2.2m There is a pear-like boiler on the frame, with a front wheel diameter of 1.28m and a rear wheel diameter of1.50m. When moving forward, the direction is controlled by the front wheel, every12 ~1. The second car was made by 177 1, but it didn't really run. It is now on display at the National Gallery in Paris, France. Although Zhu Niu's invention failed, it is a watershed between ancient means of transportation (driven by people, animals or sails) and modern means of transportation (driven by power machinery), which is of epoch-making significance.
The development of automobile also has a long process. After 100 years of continuous improvement and innovation, it has condensed the wisdom and intelligence of human beings. Thanks to the support of many industries such as petroleum, steel, aluminum, chemical industry, plastics, machinery and equipment, electric power, road network, electronic technology, finance and so on, it has driven their development and become a wide variety of vehicles with complete specifications and widely used in various fields of social and economic life. Since 1970, the number of cars in the world has almost doubled every 15. In 20 13, the global automobile output was 87.38 million. It is predicted that by 20 14 years, the number of cars in the world will reach1200 million.
