About the Cugnot Wagon…  “Designed by Nicolas Joseph Cugnot, a French military engineer and tested on 23/10/1769, this is considered the first steam car in the world, called FARDIER, weight carrier or burden carrier, it reached the speed of 3.5-4 km/h and was meant to be and used to transport the Gribeauval cannon. His autonomy lasted 15 minutes because of his little boiler. If the original is exhibited at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, a functional replica exists at Void-Vacon in France’s hometown of Cugnot since 2010, one at the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum in Florida in the United States and a 7/10 scale replica at the Mus And the Automobile of Turin.”
