Ferdinand Porsche

Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Porsche (3 September 1875 – 30 January 1951) was an Austro-Hungarian automotive engineer. He is best known for creating the first Hybrid vehicle (gasoline-electric), Volkswagen (Beetle), Mercedes-Benz , as well as the first of many Porsche automobiles. Porsche was awarded in 1937 the German National Prize for Art and Science.

Ferdinand Porsche was born to German-speaking parents in Maffersdorf in Germany near Liberec. He showed high aptitude for mechanical work at a very young age. Beyond auditing classes at the local university, Porsche never received any higher engineering education.

In 1898, Porsche joined the Vienna-based factory of Jakob Lohner & Co, that produced coaches for the Emperor as well as for the kings of England, Sweden, and Romania. Their first design in 1898 was the "System Lohner-Porsche", a carriage-like car driven by two electric motors.

In 1901 Porsche introduced the 'Mixte' vehicle/transmission concept: instead of a massive battery-pack, an internal combustion engine built by the German firm, Daimler, was fitted to a generator. In this way Porsche had created the first vehicle. In 1906, Austro-Daimler recruited Porsche as their chief designer. Porsche's best known Austro-Daimler car was designed for the Prince Henry Trial in 1910.

Porsche had advanced to Managing Director by 1916 and received the honorary doctorate degree. In 1923, Porsche left Austro-Daimler. Only a few months later Porsche received a new job as Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft's Technical Director in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1926, Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie merged into Mercedes-Benz.
