The main story of the car is the debut of the Russian automobile industry
The debut of the Russian automobile industry
The first car in Russia
Many people have heard that before the revolution, Russia was an agrarian country.
However, few people know that the first car in Russia was a French Panar Levassor brought in 1891 by Vasily Navrotsky, who worked as an editor of the Odessa Leaflet.
” Panar Levassor " by Navrotsky
According to the employees of the Museum of Automobile Transport, located in St. Petersburg, the very first car drove along the roads of the capital of the Russian Empire on August 9, 1895.
And at the end of this year, several more cars were brought to the country.
According to research conducted at the Museum of the History of Moscow, the Mother See saw her first car only in 1899.
Even earlier (in 1896), there was one famous historical event in Russia – the creation of the first Russian car in St. Petersburg.
If you pick up the "Journal of New Inventions and Discoveries" for 1896, you can read a note about the production in Russia of crews on which a gasoline engine is installed.
The first Russian car
Here is what you can read on the pages of this magazine: “The production of carriages with engines, which has taken quite large sizes in Germany, France and England, as well as around the world, has not yet been undertaken in Russia.
It is not necessary to consider, of course, some facts of unsuccessful attempts to manufacture bicycles with gasoline engines similar to German ones.
Currently, the well known company “Freze and Co. " in St. Petersburg has taken up the work.
The company's engineers are finishing the design of a two seat carriage intended for the Nizhny Novgorod exhibition.
The company builds only the crew, and the engine will be brought from the St. Petersburg plant, which belongs to E. Yakovlev.
We had the pleasure to consider such a Russian made car not yet finished.
Postponing this description until it is fully manufactured and tested, in which we will inform you about the features of such a machine.
If you carefully consider the crew, it is made like foreign designs.
However, you can notice additional improvements in it.
For example, a folding top has been completed, which will be very useful for our capricious climate.
Two seat crew of the company " Freze and Co.”
The transfer belts were replaced with rubber ones, which was reflected in the reduced sliding on the pulleys.
A significant improvement of the front axle has been made.
Therefore, it turned out to be stronger, and the body lies on the axis with the help of strong, elastic springs, which additionally give elasticity to the entire crew.
Of course, it has a solid finish and rubber tires.
A horizontally positioned gasoline engine creates two forces, which is quite enough for the crew to pass at a speed of twenty versts per hour.
There is enough gasoline for ten hours of travel.
If we touch on the main issue, namely the cost of such a crew, then it is difficult to determine it by the novelty of the case.
However, the employees of the company “Freze and Co. " hope that the price will not exceed 1300 rubles in silver.
This will create competition for foreign manufacturers.
Saying "welcome" to the new production of Russia, which is very desirable in modern conditions of movement, I would like to wish him successful growth and improvement.
After all, there are huge reasons for this, because solid firms that have solid factories all over Russia have taken up the case."
Unpleasant, of course, is the fact that neither the car itself nor detailed information about it has been preserved.
Therefore, at the moment you can only see a copy that the restoration center was able to recreate using the preserved photos to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Russian car.
Little information has been preserved about the people who made the first Russian car.
This is Yevgeny Yakovlev, who was born in 1857 in a poor noble family.
After completing his service in the navy and reaching the rank of lieutenant, he retired in 1883 and married a woman with a good dowry.
With these funds, the “First Plant for the Production of Gas and kerosene Engines”was built in St. Petersburg.
The enterprise was the first domestic plant that manufactured internal combustion engines.
An interesting fact is that all the motors were designed by Yakovlev himself.
In the 90s of the 19th century, his factory was famous throughout Russia, and the owner himself received several patents in the field of mechanical engineering.
In 1893, the World's Fair was held in Chicago, which was dedicated to the 400th anniversary of Columbus ' discovery of America.
Many manufacturers gathered for such an event.
This is probably where Yakovlev met Freze – his future companion.
Peter Freze was born in St. Petersburg in 1844.
He graduated from the Mining Institute and became closely involved in the construction of carriages when he worked at the Nellis factory.
One of the creators is Pyotr Alexandrovich Freze
Freze managed to quickly make a career: becoming a factory manager, and then a co owner.
Old Karl Nellis gradually transferred the company's management levers to a young and businesslike partner.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the company began to be called already as “Freze and Nelis”, and after that – “Freze and KV”.
The company gained such authority that in 1893 it represented Russia at an exhibition in Chicago.
The crews made at the Mill factory with the Yakovlev internal combustion engine received bronze medals and were awarded with diplomas of the exhibition.
Most likely, Russian machine builders, seeing the prototype of the “Benz Velo", decided to create something similar in their homeland.
The first results of such an alliance took place in 1896 at the Nizhny Novgorod Exhibition.
In 1898, when Yevgeny Yakovlev was no longer alive, Frese continued his work by concluding a contract with the firm”De Dion Bouton".
This agreement allowed us to independently manufacture motors.
The height of glory was in 1910 for Pyotr Alexandrovich the St. Petersburg Industrial Automobile Exhibition, at which the company was given a gold medal.
After the end of the exhibition, Freze was no longer engaged in mechanical engineering, and in 1918 he died.
That's how the first car appeared in Russia.
And, when did the first car appear in your garage, and what kind of model was it?
