The History of the Automobile Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler

In 1885, German mechanic engineer, Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal - combustion engine. On January 29, 1886, Benz received the first patent (DRP No. 37435) for a gas-fueled car. It was a three-wheeler; Benz built his first four-wheeled car in 1891. Benz & Cie., the company started by the inventor, became the world's largest manufacturer of automobiles by 1900. Benz was the first inventor to integrate an internal combustion engine with a class - designing both together.

At almost the same time, in Cannstatt, in South West Germany, Gottlieb Daimler was working on the motor carriage which he had developed. These two men who, quite independently of each another, laid the foundations for motorized transport, had one thing in common; a pioneering spirit combined with single-minded perseverance.

In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler (together with his design partner Wilhelm Maybach) took Otto's international combustion engine a step further and patented what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine.

Daimler's connection to Otto was a direct one; Daimler worked as technical director of Deutz Gasmotorenfabrik, which Nikolaus Otto co-owned in 1872. There is some controversy as to who built the first motorcycle Otto or Daimler.

The 1885 Daimler-Maybach engine was small, lightweight, fast, used a gasoline-injected carburetor, and had a vertical cylinder. The size, speed, and efficiency of the engine allowed for a revolution in car design, On March 8, 1886, Daimler took a stagecoach and adapted it to hold his engine, thereby, designing the world's first four-wheeled automobile. Daimler is considered the first inventor to have invented a practical internal-combustion engine.

In 1889, Daimler invented a V-slanted two cylinder, four-stroke engine with mushroom-shaped valves. Just like Otto's 1876 engine, Daimler's new engine set the basis for all car engines going forward. Also in 1889, Daimler and Maybach built their first automobile from the ground up, they did not adapt another purpose vehicle as they had always been done previously. The new Daimler automobile had a four-speed transmission and obtained speeds of 10 mph.

Daimler founded the Daimler Motoren-Gesellshaft in 1890 to manufacture his designs. Eleven years later, Wilheim Maybach designed the Mercedes automobile.
