First car in Europe 1815

[cumbas]

Sorry but The "Fardier" of the French Engineer Cugnot was not in 1770 but in 1769 ^^

And yes of course the first automobile and the real first ancester of all Automobiles, cars and trains nowadays is well the Fardier of the French Engineer CUGNOT !! :-)

Cugnot was the first with a road steamer, an all American philadelphian, Oliver Evans was second, with building a harbor dredge, a scow hulled thing. He put wheels on it and a steering fore carriage and drove it around Philly for a couple of days before he drove it to a beach and launched it. Like Cugnot, he used high pressure steam , which Threvithick, when he saw it brought back to England.

At least he didn't cite Carl Benz. (Although I think that was poor old Carl's excuse for escaping his wife Bertha's complaining about the walk to the shops.)

@CaptBubble. Thanks for your input!!! I looked it up at Wiki and indeed Trevithick was from Cornwall (contrary to a book I have) and he built a "steam road locomotive in 1801 on a site near the present day Fore Street at Camborne" (wikipedia). Wiki further reports " in 1803 he built another steam-powered road vehicle called the London Steam Carriage, which attracted much attention from the public and press when he drove it that year in London from Holborn to Paddington and back."

yes only the aristocracy could afford the Early cars they where Electric or steam.

they ran on Paraffin or Lead acid battery s

[toyotasupraking]

@toyotasupraking

Well, in 100 years they will be saying exactly the same thiing about our time. Be glad you're even alive.

[Pharmaecopia1]

And it is suggested that there was a steam powered automobile built even before Cugnot.

[conoba]

First steam powered automobile? Nicolas Joseph Cugnot would disagree!

[ichmalealsobinich]

Correct! But all these steam cars had a lack in appropriate steering on the roads, their engines were heavy and dangerous (Cugnots machine exploded after colliding a wall) and surrendered even in front of a tiny hill. In one word: inpracticable.

[freeman8128]

@conoba Maybe you are right - it depends how you would define an automobile: Cugnot's vehicle was a gun carriage. Bozek's idea was closer to what we would understand as an automobile today.

[KapteinOpel]

@freeman8128 Automobile means a device that moves by itself, and is not necessarily a personal automobile which is only one type of automobile. The word is now used as a reference to or synonym for an ordinary car, but ALL devices that are able to move under its own power are per definition automobiles. Not least when it comes to these early examples. Today we would call Cugnot's fardier a vapeur a tractor, but a tractor is also an automobile vehicle and thus Cugnot wins.

Hi wiegelfilm! Great slideshow!!!! I did'nt know this one!! With all due respect, Cugnot had the first steam car (tractor in 1770) and the Scotsman Threvethick (i hope I spelled it correctly) had one in 1803. However, I didn't know this one, and I thank you for uploading!

[CaptBubble]

@grassfibre Cugnot was first, Richard Trevithick was from Cornwall, and his first road vehicle was in 1801
