 LESSON I –
AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY
Etymology of Word “Automobile”
The word Automobile derives from two French Words “Auto” and
“mobile”, which translates to self-moving.
The first car was built by Joseph Cugnot in 1769. It
was powered by a steam engine and was very slow.
Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir was the first to build the one cylinder
engine, internal-combustion engine, was later patent.
Nikolaus August Otto built the first four cylinder engine.
In 1886 Gottlieb Daimler designed the first four wheeled automobile.
They also created the first v-slanted engine.
Karl Benz, know as one of the founders of Mercedes-Benz, is the first to
Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach with Benz’s manufacturing firm
in 1926 to create Daimler-Benz. The joint company makes cars today
Henry Ford, a famous car company founder, designed the world’s biggest
car manufacturer, manufacturing over 15 million Model Ts by 1927
Hybrid cars have also been around since the 1900’s.
In the 1900’s Ford made more steam and electric cars than it did gasoline.
The first hybrid commercial truck was built in 1910, and as the gasoline
engine was refined interest in hybrids died down.
As problems with environment and
gas process continue, Hybrids are
now a hot commodity in the
market place and are now the new
wave of future cars

Vehicle by Motive Power &
Drive Method
 Classification By Motive
Power

passenger vehicles.
2. Diesel Engine Vehicle
- vehicle that uses diesel fuel.
- it produce large torque & offer good economy.
- widely used in trucks & SUVs.
3. Hybrid Vehicle
- Equipped with gasoline engine & electric motor.
- System of wheel driver uses 270V, on the other hand,
other electric 12V.
4. Electric Vehicle
- Vehicle that uses the power of the batteries to
operate the electric motor.
- zero emission
- Low noise during operation
5. Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle
- Vehicle that uses electric energy that is
created when the hydrogen fuel reacts with
oxygen in the air to form water.
- Ultimate form of low – pollution vehicle.
