The first cars
Praise The Lord Jesus Christ
The Earliest Road vehicle powered by an
engine,the Cugnotsteam traction engine,was
built in 1770. More practical steam
carriages,such as the Bordino,were available
in the early 19 th century,but they were
heavy and cumbersome.Rest laws and
introduction of railways,faster and able to
carry more passengers,saw the decline of
"cars"powered by steam.It was not until 1860
that the first practical power unit for road
vehicles was developed, with the invention
of the internal combustion engine by the
Belgian Etienne Lenoir. By around 1890,
Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler in Germany,
and Albert de Dion and Armand Peugeot in
France were building cars for sale to the
Public. These early cars, despite being
primitive, expensive,and produced in
limited numbers, heralded the age of new
Motor car.
