EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic PEUGEOT 1891, a petrol-driven voiture with a Daimler engine, a significant milestone in the annals of motoring history. The PEUGEOT 1891, named after the year of its creation, was one of the earliest automobiles to be powered by a gasoline engine, marking a departure from the reliance on horsepower. The vehicle, showcased in this image, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its time. The PEUGEOT 1891 was designed and manufactured by the French industrialist, Armand Peugeot, in collaboration with the renowned German engineer, Nikolaus Otto, and the British engine manufacturer, Daimler. The vehicle's engine, a 1.1 horsepower single-cylinder unit, was supplied by Daimler, making it a unique fusion of French, German, and British engineering. The PEUGEOT 1891 was a groundbreaking achievement, as it was not only the first petrol-driven vehicle produced by PEUGEOT but also the first to participate in a long-distance race, the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race of 1895. Although it did not win the race, the PEUGEOT 1891 paved the way for the company's future successes in the automobile industry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the PEUGEOT 1891 in its glory days. The vehicle's intricate design, from its wooden wheels to its elegant bodywork, is a reminder of the early days of automobile manufacturing. The PEUGEOT 1891 represents a pivotal moment in the history of transport, as it marked the beginning of the era of petrol-driven vehicles, forever changing the way we travel.
