Description
Horseless carriages are noted for their similarity to horse-drawn carriages, but instead with some type of motor; some features of carriages include a high center of gravity and tiller-steering. In 1803, what has been said to be the first horseless carriage was demonstrated in London, Britain, as made by Richard Trevithick.[4]This was a steam-powered conversion of a carriage, hence the moniker. In the 1820s, Goldsworthy Gurney built steam powered road vehicles. One survived to be on display at Glasgow Museum of Transport. In the United States, a four wheel steam carriage was made by Sylvester H. Roper in 1863. In the 1800s steam engines were the primary source of power for locomotives, ships, and fixed installations like industrial mills.
The 1896 Armstrong horseless carriage was noted as an early hybrid vehicle, in the case electric with combined electric motor with battery and gasoline fueled internal-combustion engine.
In 1893, Frank Duryea is reported to have made the first horseless carriage trip on U.S. roads in Springfield, Massachusetts, traveling approximately 600 yards before engine problems forced him to stop and make repairs. He went on to found the first U.S. car company with his brother, the Duryea Motor Wagon Company.
