Perhaps, the
first self-propelled land vehicle with an engine was built in 1769 by a
Frenchman called Nicohlas
Cughot. It was a
cumbersome-three-wheel cart with an engine operated by water steam and enormous
boiler. It could travel 3 miles per hour and needle to be refueled every 15
miles.
In 1789, Oliver Evans, an American got the first United States patent
for his self propelled four-wheel wagon which could operate either on land or
in the water. For nearly 8 decades thereafter, across to a host of
experimentations, vehicles drove by steam engine could move toward a few which
were electrically driven and carried large batteries. In 1880, development of
internal combustion engine and pneumatic or air-filled type resulted in the
modern automobiles.
In 1887, a
German called Gottlieb
Daimler,
who first invented the first car
operate by a petrol-power car. And in 1892, in United States, two brothers, Frank and Charles Duryea, built the first successful American petrol
automobile.
