    Daimler motor carriage, 1886.
    This vehicle - a carriage without horses, propelled by an invisible energy source - marked the beginning of a revolution in transport. The power came from the new small engine developed by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Following the motor cycle and a motor boat the motoristion of the carriage provided further proof of the versality of Daimler's invention. Together with the Benz Patent Motor Car the motor carriage laid the foundation for the development of the automobile.
