HISTORY OF ROLLS-ROYCE Technology: the pulse of the future, the echo of the past. The rich history of Rolls-Royce, spanning over 110 years of distinctive automotive innovation connects us to the venture and the elegance and magic of the brand. Prior to 1900, people dreamt and designed concepts of a machine, a mode of transportation that would not require physical labor or a horse to move it forward - something to carry people and cargo from one town to another without walking for days or riding for hours. Many engineers drafted and tested concepts from 1672-1800s, but most proved impractical or dangerous. In the 1800s, the dream of the automobile focused on steam powered vehicles. It wasn’t until the mid to late 1800s that the world saw its first “real” automobiles produced. Credited with the first practical automobile, Karl Benz made the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, using a petrol or gasoline powered internal combustion engine in 1885 in Mannheim, Germany. However at that time, it was one stand-alone model. During the next 15 years, engineers worked out ideas, filed patents, and started motor companies, with everyone striving for two goals – to make a reliable auto machine and make the best machine possible. The first motor show debuted in 1898, the Salon de l’Automobile, started by Albert de Dion as a way for the world to show its newest concepts. Known today as the Paris Motor show, or Mondial de l’Automobile, it remains one of the most highly attended, regarded, and influential auto shows today. The world needed a change in transportation and society’s reaction to its possible outcome was unknown as shown in an article from World’s Work in 1903, called “The Coming of the Motor-cab,”: “ ‘It remains to be seen how the people will take to the new vehicles, but there can be no doubt as to the danger of travel in the existing hansom, chiefly due to the horse being so liable to fall on the slippery paving.’” During those first few years of the twentieth century the automotive industry displayed the epitome of hi-technology, even though travelling at that time in a reliable gas powered vehicle proved something yet to be achieved. 15
