The first car

The first car was a three-wheeled vehicle invented by Nicolas steam-Joseph Cugnot in 1769. His speed reached only 5 km per hour and could be overtaken by any person walking briskly. The first motor vehicles were road vehicles, cars that ran on a steam boiler. The best known were the locomotives, they should be subject to the rails that ran it and did not cover the transport demand of the time, were very heavy, slow and impractical, in 1866 only reached some 20 km per hour in 1873 and reached a speed of 40 km per hou

Due to the weight problem inventors devoted themselves to think of boilers lighter and faster to produce steam heat and create energy. It was the era of steam engines. In 1887, Léon Serpollet invents a boiler vaporizes instantly. With this invention can move light cars, quads and trikes. Soon there appears the gasoline engine's internal combustion which today still use cars.
