When was the world's first car born?
1 Answers
In 1886, German inventor Gottlieb Daimler installed a self-developed automobile engine on a four-wheeled carriage, which ran at a "breathtaking" speed of 18 kilometers per hour, marking the birth of the first four-wheeled car in human history. Additional information is as follows: 1. The first diesel engine: In 1897, German Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913) successfully developed the first diesel engine, a process that took 20 years from conception to reality. The diesel engine was another great invention in the field of power engineering. Its emergence not only found a use for diesel but also proved to be more fuel-efficient, powerful, and less polluting than gasoline engines, making it another excellent "heart" for automobiles. Rudolf Diesel's invention changed the entire world, and in his honor, the diesel engine is also known as the Diesel engine. 2. The first internal combustion engine car: The world's first car was successfully developed by German Karl Benz (1844-1929) in October 1885, setting the tone for automobile design that even modern cars still follow. He applied for a patent for the automobile invention with the German Patent Office on January 29, 1886, which was officially approved and published on November 2 of the same year. Therefore, January 29, 1886, is recognized as the birth date of the world automobile, and Benz's patent certificate became the world's first automobile patent certificate.
