Welcome to our new post. In this post, we will discuss the world's first cars & Mass production.
*FIRST CAR*
THE EARLIEST ROAD VEHICLE powered by an engine, the Cugnot Steam Traction engine, was built in 1770. More practical steam carriages, such as the Bordino, were available in the early 19th century, but they were heavy and cumbersome. Restrictive laws and the introduction of railways, faster and able to carry more passengers, saw the decline of "cars" powered by steam. It was not until 1860 that the first practical power unit for road vehicles was developed, with the invention of the internal combustion engine by the Belgian Etienne Lenoir. By around 1890, Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler in Germany, and Albert de Dion and Armand Peugeot in France were building cars for sale to the public. These early cars, despite being primitive, expensive, and produced in limited numbers, heralded the age of the motor car.
The world's 1st Car is BENZ MOTORWAGEN. It was discovered on 29th January 1886 by Karl Benz & Gottlieb Daimler.
*CARS OF THE 20th CENTURY*
DURING THE FIRST DECADE OF THE 20TH CENTURY, some of the finest cars ever made. These handbuilt cars were powerful and luxurious, using the finest woods, leathers, cloths, and bodywork made to the customer's individual requirements; some had six-cylinder engines as big as 15 litres.
The price of such cars was several times that of an average house, and their yearly running costs were also very high. As a result, basic, utilitarian cars became popular. Costing perhaps one-tenth of the price of a luxury car, these cars had very little trim and often had only single-cylinder engines.
*MASS PRODUCTION*
(Mass Produced-Cars)
THE FIRST CARS WERE HAND-ASSEMBLED from individually built parts, a time-consuming procedure that required skilled mechanics and made cars very expensive. This problem was solved, in America, by a Detroit car manufacturer named Henry Ford; he introduced mass production by using standardized parts and later combined these with a moving production line. The work was brought to the workers, each of whom performed one simple task in the construction process as the chassis moved along the line.
The first mass-produced car, the Ford Model T, was launched in 1908 and was available in a limited range of body styles and colours. However, when the production line was introduced in 1914, the colour range was cut back; the Model T became available, as Henry Ford said, in "any colour you like, so long as it's black". Ford cut the production time for a car from several days to about 12 hours, and eventually to minutes, making cars much cheaper than before. As a result, by 1920 half the cars in the world were Model T Fords.
