The first practical horseless vehicle was the steam lorry built by Cugnot in 1763. Its success induced the French government to order in 1770, a steam traction engine for the transportation of artillery, which could carry a load of 4.5 tons at about 2.25 miles per hour on level ground. The traction engine has become a familiar and almost Essential part of modern road Locomotion.
