Cugnot's 1770 fardier à vapeur, as preserved at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, Paris. In 1770, a full-size version of the fardier à vapeur was built, specified to be able to carry four tons and cover two lieue (7.8 km, or 4.8 miles) in one hour, a performance it never

2024年12月12日 · Known as the "Fardier à vapeur", this invention is widely regarded as the first automobile. Cugnot trained as a military engineer and began experimenting with steam …

Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot (born September 25, 1725, Void, France—died October 2, 1804, Paris) was a French military engineer who designed and built the world’s first true automobile —a huge, heavy, steam -powered tricycle. (Read James Watt’s 1819 Britannica essay on the steam engine.)

French military engineer Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot designed his three-wheeled, steam-powered dray to haul cannons. While it could carry five tons at two miles per hour, Cugnot's unwieldy wagon was difficult to steer, and its inefficient boiler limited the …

历史记载最早以实用为研发目的的汽车，是法国人 Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot 在1770年制成的一辆运送火炮的拖拉机，但因为整车重量过于不平衡，行驶非常不平稳，无法实际满足军方在野外运输火炮的需求。

Steam-powered self-propelled vehicles large enough to transport people and cargo were first devised in the late 18th century. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot demonstrated his fardier à vapeur ("steam dray "), an experimental steam-driven artillery tractor, in 1770 and 1771.

2021年12月14日 · Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot was born in Void-Vacon, Lorraine, in 1725 and was trained as a military engineer. Tasked by the army to develop a steam-powered vehicle for the purpose of hauling cannon, Cugnot devised a scaled-down working model in 1769, and in 1770, he unveiled a full-sized steam-driven vehicle, which he called a fardier à vapeur.
