Vintage Cars: Diesel, mercedes benz, diesel engine


Question
What was the first car to run on a diesel engine?

Answer
Great question. The first motor vehicle with a diesel was a van built in England in the early 20's, but the first diesel-powered car was built in 1936, and I'll bet you can guess the manufacturer. As the diesel was invented in Germany, and the company most noted for diesels was the first to offer one: Mercedes-Benz.
