"In 1863, Étienne Lenoir made an 18 km long exit with the so-called Hippomobile - this was the first vehicle with an internal combustion engine. However, the year 1886 with the Benz patent "Motorwagen Nummer 1" by the German inventor Carl Benz is regarded as the year of birth of the modern automobile with internal combustion engine, as it attracted a great deal of media attention and lead to mass production. Previously, other inventors built motorized vehicles with similar or completely different engine concepts. "
What followed was more than 130 years of innovation in engine construction. Vehicle models, production technologies and technical features have changed, but people's need for individual mobility continues, and engines and cars make this mobility possible.
