1886 Mecedes-Benz – The world’s first true automobile<\/span><\/p>\n

Benz Velo 1894.The origins of the Daimler-Benz company founded through a merger in 1926 date back to the mid-1880s, when Gottlieb Daimler (1834–1900) working with Wilhelm Maybach (1846–1929), and Karl Benz (1844–1929) independently invented the internal combustion engine-powered automobile, in southwestern Germany. <\/p>\n

Although they were merely sixty miles apart, these pioneers were unaware of each other’s early work.<\/p>\n

Karl Benz had his shop in Mannheim where he invented “the world’s first true automobile powered by an internal combustion engine” in 1885. It had three wheels. <\/p>\n

He was granted a patent for his vehicle dated January 29, 1886, for what he called the “Benz Patent Motorwagen.” Among many inventions, Benz patented his first engine in 1879, a high-speed single-cylinder four-stroke engine of his own design which he included in his “integral” design for the Motorwagen patent application.<\/p>\n

In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler and design partner Wilhelm Maybach, working in Cannstatt, Stuttgart, were granted a patent dated August 29, 1885 for what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine, that they named the “grandfather clock engine.”<\/p>\n

On March 8, 1886, Daimler purchased a stagecoach made by Wilhelm Wimpff & Sohn and he and Maybach adapted it to hold this engine, thereby creating a four-wheeled carriage propelled by an engine, as many had before them. The only distinction about this carriage was that it carried an internal combustion engine. <\/p>\n

None of many similar attempts to adapt carts, boats, or carriages, in many countries, were propelled by this type of engine. On the official history pages of the Mercedes-Benz Internet site it is referred to as “a carriage \u2014 without a drawbar but with the conventional drawbar steering. A carriage without horses…” Daimler and Maybach later purposely built, from scratch, the first four-stroke engine powered automobile with four wheels in 1889. They founded Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, DMG, in 1890 and sold their first automobile in 1892.<\/p>\n
