China is the first country in the world to make cars. According to historical records, in the Dayu era in the early summer of more than 2000 BC, a man named Xizhong invented a car with two wheels to set up an axle. The axle is fixed on the frame with a shaft, and a suitcase is attached to the frame for loading goods.
This is the first car in the world, commonly known as "unicycle".
Next is the south guide car. During the Three Kingdoms period, a skilled technician named Ma Jun invented the South Compass.
The South Guide Car is a kind of two-wheeled single-wheeled car, on which stands a Woodenhead, with his arm extended to the south.
As long as you start driving, Woodenhead's arm always points to the south, no matter whether you turn east or west.
Then there is the drum car, which was first invented by China in the 3rd century. Unfortunately, the original structure was lost, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that Yan Su succeeded in remaking it.
Later, carriages appeared, and city buses first appeared in Britain. 1829, the first horse-drawn carriage appeared in London, England. It has a history of more than 160 years, during which it has experienced the stages of development, prosperity, decline and present revival.
Tianjin is the earliest city with public transportation in China.
1904, according to the contract between the Qing Dynasty and Belgium, Belgian businessmen founded "Tianjin Tram Electric Light Company", and the first bus in China was born.
It was not until the invention of the steam engine that a real mechanical car appeared.
1770, the Frenchman Cournot developed the world's first tricycle driven by a steam engine, marking the beginning of the era when human beings used mechanical power instead of natural power to drive vehicles.
Subsequently, some European countries began to use steam cars, and Britain was the earliest, most and best country to produce steam cars.
The earliest motorcycles were made by Ba Telie, a German? Daimler (1834- 1900) invented it in 1885. Motorcycles are also called mechanical bicycles. When cars powered by coal steam are widely used in the streets, people have begun to try to use other fuels because of smog and slow speed.
Daimler, a young technician working in Otto factory, decided to develop a small and efficient internal combustion engine, resolutely resigned from the factory and developed it in a special research institution organized by another company. Finally, it succeeded in 1883, and in the same year, it obtained the patent No.28022 of the German Empire in 12+06.
1885 On August 29th, Daimler's improved gasoline engine was installed on a two-wheeled vehicle made of thumb, which made the world's first motorcycle and obtained a patent.
In the 20th century, automobile production and consumption reached a period of rapid growth. In the later period, the per capita car ownership led by the United States ranked first in the world. By the 20th century, China's automobile industry has developed rapidly. Although the per capita car ownership is low, the base is large.
China has become a big country in the world automobile industry.
