    The first car was developed by Captain Nicholas Keno in 1770. It was a tricycle with a two cylinder steam engine traveling at four miles per hour for several hundred meters.

  • The invention of the internal combustion engine

    The invention of the internal combustion engine has advanced the car development significantly. Unlike a steam engine, its dimensions were relatively small and so were the means needed to carry its fuel materials.So it is especially suited to small vehicles such as the car. The Frenchman Jean Etienne Lenoir succeeded in 1862 in installing such a gas-based engine in a carriage where a steering system was first installed.
