In 1922 Benz develops three prototypes of the new Benz-Sendling S 6 motorised plough, whose sensational innovation is the two-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine. This is the first time a diesel engine has been used on a road or wheeled vehicle. The chain-drive corresponds to the first T3 motorised plough, as does the large, single rear wheel which makes a differential superfluous.
