Chapter 1, Problem 1RQ
In 1900, what was the most produced vehicle powered by?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The most produced vehicle powered by during the early 1900s.
Explanation of Solution
In the early 1900s, the most produced vehicles were steam powered. During the year 1900, around 4,200 automobiles were manufactured, and out of which 40% of the vehicles were steam powered, 38% were electric or battery powered, and the remaining 22% were gasoline engine powered.
Steam had been utilized to drive the road vehicles. Most of the vehicles on the road were steam-driven. Later, the steam-engine technologies were turned to concentrate on locomotives rather than the automobiles.
