Think traffic is slow now? Imagine driving the very first truck.
Gottlieb Daimler invented the world's first truck in 1896. It was essentially a converted horse-drawn wagon with a four-horsepower engine. Its top speed? A whopping 7 MPH.
What a difference more than a century makes! Today’s semi-trucks are engineering marvels, designed for efficiency, power, and getting loads where they need to go—and much faster!
At Ship.Cars, we’re driving that goal of moving smarter forward by developing innovative tech to help carriers maximize efficiency and profitability. See what’s new: https://bit.ly/3PSa1Ci
