History of Cars |
Events & Milestones |
Advent of cars in India
With the invention of the wheel in 4000 BC, mans journey on the
road of mechanized transport had begun. Since then he continually sought
to devise an automated, labor saving machine to replace the horse.
Innumerable
attempts reached conclusion in the early 1760s with the building of the
first steam driven tractor by a French Captain, Nicolas Jacob Cugnot.It was however left to Karl Benz and Gottlieb Damlier to produce the first vehicles powered by the internal combustion engine in 1885. It was then that the petrol engine was introduced, which made the car a practical and safe proposition. The cars in this period were more like the cars on our roads today. With cars came the era of speed. Then onwards, it has been one big journey...on the roads. History of Cars |
