Let's talk about the History of motor vehicles
Earlier in 1769, A French engineer, Captain Nicholas Cugnot, built a road vehicle propelled only by its power, which was an External Combustion Engine, meaning a Steam Engine. That engine was not run successfully on the road because it was large, heavy, and also powered by an external combustion engine, which was a steam engine.
In 1876 Internal. Combustion (IC) Engine was developed by German Engineer Nicolas August Otto. Engine operation with the Otto cycle means a four-stroke engine. In the earlier 1860s first IC Engine was designed by Etienne Lenoir. The IC engine has contributed more by Nicholas August Otto and other engineers and scientists, including George Brayton Brown, to the modern Internal Combustion (IC) Engine. It was inside liquid fuel burning in the combustion chamber.
In 1885/86 Carl Benz built the first practical petrol burning car. It had three wheels, one in front, two in the rear. He got the title and earned distinction being called the father of the automobile.

During 1897, diesel engines were successfully tested.
Earlier in 1830, the first world truck and bus was discovered, which was a steam-powered vehicle. After the Internal Combustion engine was invented they gradually developed invented engines using liquid fuel petroleum. In 1896 the first truck was built by Gottlieb Daimler in Germany. Around the 1920s, the diesel-powered engine trucks were driven in Europe, America, and other parts of the world. The world's first truck and manufacturing company was the Daimler Motor Company. In Germany, in 18, the98 Daimler motor corporation world-first engine-powered bus was built. 
Earlier, the bus model was of a horse-drawn carriage, In, 1830 the first bus was built by Goldsworthy Gurney in England with that steam-powered engine. The,n after 189,8 in German,y Engineer, Gottlieb Daimler built an internal combustion engine b, which wasus launch by the Daimler Motor Company. 
In America, the first car was made by two American brothers Charles and FrankDuryea in1893. Later on, Henry Ford made his first car in the year 1895. In 1896, an early Henry Ford set up the Ford Motor Company and started manufacturing cars.

By 1908 Ford Motor was manufacturing cars in huge production in America. T- Model Ford on the first modern assembly line. During the next two decades, 15 lakh model-T ford cars were sold around the world. Today, the American automobile industry is one of the biggest in the world.
