Today I want to talk about an invention that has evolved the life of man, since he is involved in all aspects of his modern life.
The first car to Gasoline
Benz Motorwagen 1985 - The first car to Gasoline
On January 29, 1886, Benz applied for a patent for his "vehicle powered by a gas engine". The patent number 37,435 can be considered as the birth certificate of the automobile. On July 3, 1886, the newspapers reported on the first public appearance of the Benz Patent Motor Car, model no. 1 of three wheels.
The long distance trip of Bertha Benz
With this 180-kilometer route, including the return trip, Bertha Benz demonstrated the viability of the motor vehicle worldwide. Without his audacity and that of his children, and the stimulating results obtained, the subsequent growth of Benz & Cia., In Mannheim, to become the world's largest automobile factory in his day would have been impossible.

Improvements and Advances
In 1897 the development of the "double motor" took place, that consisted of two units of a single horizontal cylinder in parallel. However, it did not have the expected results. It was immediately followed by a better design, the "counter-engine" in which the cylinders are arranged facing each other. This was the birth of the horizontally opposed piston engine. Installed in the back by Benz until the year 1900, this unit generated up to 16 hp (12 kW) in its different versions.

Thanks to the cars there are distribution networks, which are the basis of this globalized world, where any kind of product is achieved in places where the vehicles that transport them can reach.
