Car birth day
In 1886, Karl Bentz of Germany produced the world's first gasoline-powered three-wheeled vehicle, which was patented on January 29 of the same year.
Therefore, January 29 was considered the birth day of the world car, and 1886 was the birth year of the world car. The car is equipped with a horizontal single-cylinder two-stroke gasoline engine, 785cc capacity, 0.89 horsepower, and 15 kilometers per hour. The front wheel is small, the rear wheel is large, and the engine is placed above the rear axle. The power drives the rear wheel through the chain and gears. The car already has some basic features of modern cars, such as electric ignition, water cooling cycle, steel tube frame, leaf spring suspension, rear wheel drive, front wheel steering and brake handle, etc. Its rack and pinion steering gear is Hyundai The originator of the steering gear.
At that time, because the performance of the car was not perfect, the engine was very noisy when working, and the quality of the chain that transmits the power was not good, and it often broke. Therefore, on the road where the car passes, people often see people instead of people. By car. In the era of that carriage, the car was ridiculed by people and was dismissed as a useless monster. In order to fight back the ridicule of public opinion, Mrs. Bentz, in August 1888, led her two sons to drive from Mannheim through Mercedes-Benz’s repeatedly improved car, passing through Wiesloch and adding water. Pforzheim, 144 km. This historic experiment has contributed to the development of the car.
