It is interesting to imagine modern life without cars. Modern transport surrounds modern man everywhere. Large cities are in automobile traffic jams. Since the machine is not a luxury but a convenient vehicle.
History of the car
The beginning of the automotive industry is considered the penultimate and recent decades of the nineteenth century. When, thanks to inventors such as Benz, Dampler, Maybokh, Porsche and others, automobile industry was born in Europe. Although, it is not known that one of the first in the world of drawings of a car with a spring drive belong to Leonardo himself. And in the Renaissance, in Europe, self -propelled crews were made on a spring move, although they were single specimens and intended for entertainment events.
It is interesting that the French inventor Konya, as early as 1769, built the so -called “small cart of a cone”, and a year later a “big cart of a cone”, or a fiery cart was represented. This thing was moving under the influence of steam engine strength. Russian innovators also did not lag behind progress. In 1791, the famous inventor Ivan Kulibin constructed a “self -rolling wagon”, which was also brought into movements with a steam engine. But, of course, these inventions are unlikely to be considered the beginning of the car era. This beginning can be called more than 1886, when the German designer Karl Benz brought up his famous self -propelled cart, which was already moving using a gasoline engine.
Benz 1886
In the same year! The inventor of the Dampler, creates the first versions of his atobomil and in 1890, founded the Corporation Dampler-Motoren-Heshelshaft. In 1901, this concern and with the personal participation of the inventor of Velgelm Maybokh created a car that will have to become a symbol of the Nemesical Automobile Industry, this car was called Mercedes. Read more about this in our recent publication about Stuttgard. Already in 1926, a historical event took place, namely, the unification of competitors, Benz and Dampler firms, a Dapler-Benz concern is being created. This company is currently called Daimler AG. The start time of the automotive era can be considered the time of the origin of the oil industry.
Since vehicles needed gasoline from oil. Which before that went mainly on the manufacture of kerosene and fuel oil, which served to light and heating houses, streets, industrial buildings, etc. D. But with the onset of the automotive era, the situation has changed, and here the real heyday of the oil tycoon John Rockefeller begins, which owned the world’s largest oil producing company Standart Oil. On the basis of which modern giants as Exxon Mobil, Chevron Corporation and others were created.
Electric car
Now we know that the automotive industry originated more than a hundred years ago. But why is it still on the streets so rarely you can see an electric car? Although such devices have been talking about such devices for a long time and not only science fiction writers. Meanwhile, this fact is that the electric car appeared before the car! In 1841, the world’s first electric car was created! He was something like a cart with an electric motor. In 1996, the American Corporation General Motors, began a trial industrial production of electric vehicles. True, the main owners of these cars, was the public from Hollywood. For the period from 1996 to 2002, several thousand electric vehicles were sold in California in only one state of California. But already in 2002, according to the new law on the requirement of low emission, almost all cars were redeemed from the owners. Many believe that the development of an electric car is strongly opposed by powerful oil corporations. Although even they can not completely stop progress, the development of an electric car is in full swing, and already in June last year (2013), the ZEOD RC Racing Electric car, owned by the Japanese Corporation Nissan and the B12/69EV DRAYSON RACINGELOGIES Corporation, set world speed records among electric vehicles (300 and 330 km per hour, respectively!). So it is possible that soon the electric car will rise to its pedestal!
