A lot of people know that the Ford Model T was the first mass produced and affordable car in the world, but not many know that it was Karl Benz, the founder of Mercedes-Benz cars who made the first ever workable car. Named the Patent-Motorwagen Model III, the car was not a four wheeler but a three wheeler. However, the most interesting fact to learn from this story is that a woman was the first ever driver of a car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bertha Benz, wife of Karl Benz drove his husband\u2019s creation for 106 kilometers (66 miles), without his permission. Mercedes-Benz has released a video reminding us of the events that took place in 1888, when Karl Benz introduced the Motorwagen to the world. The video also tells us that the first-ever driver of an automobile is a woman. As Mercedes-Benz says, \u201cshe forged the road ahead, to pave it for us all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bertha Benz, took her husband\u2019s Model III without telling him and without the permission of the authorities. She took a trip from Mannheim to Pforzheim which was illegal at that time and marked the first time someone drove an automobile on a significant distance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her mission was to prove her husband that the automobile is a significant invention and, if marketed, it would become a financial success. Both of them had invested a large amount of money in the project. Bertha went on the road trip with her two kids – Richard and Eugen, thirteen and fifteen years old respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

She even fixed the mechanical issues and even stopped in the city of Wiesloch to buy additional fuel from a local chemist, who was later crowned as the first fuel station in the world. Bertha cleaned a blocked fuel line with her hat pin and used a large amount of water for cooling. Richard and Eugen even had to push the vehicle up steep roads because of the vehicle\u2019s lack of power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, Bertha reached her final destination and informed Karl Benz about the successful trip by a telegram. Later, Karl Benz, along with Daimler Gotlieb founded Mercedes-Benz.<\/span><\/p>\n
