1886 Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler (eigentlich Däumler)

Daimler entwickelte den ersten schnelllaufenden Benzinmotor und das erste vierrädrige Kraftfahrzeug mit Verbrennungsmotor.

 

Die Daimler Motorkutsche war das erste Vier-rad-auto der Welt, also ein echter Personen-kraft-wagen (PKW).

Gottlieb Daimler bestellte bei der Firma Wimpf und Söhne in Stuttgart dazu eine Kutsche des Typs "Americain".

 

Die im August 1886 an Gottlieb Daimler gelieferte Kutsche wurde unter Maybachs Anleitung mit einer Drehschemel-Lenkung und einem 1,5 PS starken Motor nach Vorbild der Standuhr ausgerüstet. Der Antrieb auf die Räder erfolgte mittels Riemen.

 

Sie wurde mit einem Verbrennungsmotor ausgestattet. Gottlieb Daimler stellte damit die Vielseitigkeit seines Motors unter Beweis.

Daimler invented the high-speed petrol engine and the first four-wheel automobile.

Daimler and his lifelong business partner Wilhelm Maybach were two inventors whose goal was to create small, high-speed engines to be mounted in any kind of locomotion device.

 

Benz-Daimler-Maybach - who is who:

 

Although Gottlieb Daimler died in March 1900—and there is no evidence that Benz and Daimler knew each other nor that they knew about each other's early achievements—eventually, competition with Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) in Stuttgart began to challenge the leadership of Benz & Cie.

 

In my opinion they must have known each other - having the first auto-cars 1889 in Paris Expo - World's Fair -(Automobiles - Galerie des Machines).

Peugeot built 1890 his 'Typ 2' using Daimler's motor in licence. The Expo 1889 was a must and honour for all inventors and good for new contracts.

 

In October 1900 the main designer of DMG, Wilhelm Maybach, built the engine that would be used later, in the Mercedes-35hp of 1902.

 

The engine was built to the specifications of Emil Jellinek under a contract for him to purchase thirty-six vehicles with the engine and for him to become a dealer of the special series. Jellinek stipulated the new engine be named Daimler-Mercedes (for his daughter).

 

Maybach would quit DMG in 1907, but he designed the model and all of the important changes.

 

After testing, the first was delivered to Jellinek on December 22, 1900.

 

Jellinek continued to make suggestions for changes to the model and obtained good results racing the automobile in the next few years, encouraging DMG to engage in commercial production of automobiles, which they did in 1902.
