History of automobile:-
>First steam carriage built by Richard Trevithick in 1801 in England.

>In the year 1867, Nikolaus Otto and Eugen Langer used compression stroke in that engine so the power of engine will increase.
>In the year 1876, Nikolaus Otto developed first four stroke spark ignition engine.
>After this several engineers (Dugald Clerk, James Robson and Karl Benz) developed two stroke engine.
>In the year 1880, Karl Benz in Germany developed a tricycle propelled by an internal combustion engine.
>In the year 1892, Rudolf Diesel developed first four stroke compression ignition engine.
>In the year 1920 a stratified charge engine developed which can run on both petrol and diesel. Ricardo developed a jet ignited stratified charged engine.
>In the year 1957 Wankel developed a rotary type internal combustion engine.
