Who Invented the Car?
1 Answers
The world generally recognizes the inventor of the car as the German, Karl Friedrich Benz. In 1885, German engineer Karl Benz manufactured the first car in Mannheim. This vehicle was a three-wheeler, equipped with a two-stroke single-cylinder 0.9 horsepower gasoline engine, featuring the basic characteristics of modern automobiles. Karl Benz himself was one of the founders of Mercedes-Benz. More information about automobile manufacturing is as follows: 1. The French hold a different view on who invented the car. 2. The French believe that as early as before the Germans, Frenchman Delamare-Deboutteville invented the car and applied for a patent in 1884, which is indeed a fact. Unfortunately, he did not continue to research cars afterward but instead applied the engine to industrial production, eventually becoming an industrial engine manufacturer, distancing himself from the automobile industry.
