The human been has been mobilizing from immemorial times, it said that cavemen had the quality of being nomadic (a member of a group of people who have no fixed home and move according to the seasons from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing land). During these periods the wheel was invented, the material of the wheel is made of rock; technology and tools that they had, gave them somewhat hard-work. The human being didn’t stay of doing nothing, so he continued to evolve with over time due.

Over the years, the limitations of man kept appearing but in smaller amounts, their inability to create and produce: objects, tools, elements, among a variety of other things. Both in North America, Germany, Greek, Rome, Italy, Britain, Japan and other countries have had bigger historical impact on the evolution of transportation, and nowadays it marks a lot in world societies. The vehicles of three wheels didn’t arrive with successful as the four wheels did. The main problem was the movement or transportation from one place to another place, was very difficult the terrain, the obstacles had enormous shapes and the impenetrable ground cover. As solution, people had to continue adapting to the world as they discover it, or to make the decision of modify that world and face the option of make their own way within it.

The beginning of the age of the vehicles:

The first method of one was for crossing places, as countries or cities were by animals pushing. Evidence of this act can be found in the report of 1802 to the British House of Lords by the famous civil engineer Thomas Telford. Even though the first way of us have not been across the world accepted, the animal path. The reality depends on the local terrain and vegetation. Difficult terrain or dense vegetation in fertile areas would certainly have required narrow and specific animal ways.

On the other hand, in open territory the way would have been much broader, although the North America experience clearly shows that they still provided paths for many travels. So the new era began when the wheel vehicles appeared. The new routes that the human did, a lot of individuals, 300.000 people, subsequently opened up the American West and carried them into a new life. Like the history told us: Santa Fe Trail was one of the first which linked a major Mexican highway to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and thence to the Missouri River towns of St. Joseph, Independence, (…) the trail was a well-used trading route from the time of Mexican Independence and Missouri statehood in 1821 (Lay, 1992).

If we check a somewhat of history, we would see a very large record that had to exist for the existence of the modern vehicle:

• By 1374 the amount of European wagons had been using straps or chains to suspend the passenger compartment. It was proving an improved ride, also in the Slavic manner.

• In 1417 the first coach mentioned was the Kotze Hungarian coaches; later per Europe it became famous for their lightness and comfort (Boyer 1959).

• In 1525 the development of urban coach travel which led Milan with sixty of them in use, by contrast, in Paris was only three coaches in 1550.

• In Spain by 1546 couches were used to provide long-distance wheeled passenger travel at first time about of any quality since the days of the Roman officials.

• On the fifteenth century, Queen Mary 1 introduced ceremonial coaches to England, in the city of London to Westminster on the day before Queen Mary 1 coronation, it occurred the riding in a glittering procession of five coaches in 1553.

• A general use of coaches appearing in London were the London upper class by 1580, further it allowed an outcry from those who believed that they would eliminate horse breeding and lead to bankruptcy in Englishmen (Wilkinson 1934).

• An unusual behavior of consumer occurred in 1610, Paris increased of only had four coaches in 1600 to have over three hundred in ten years later.

• Between 1575 and 1775, all coaches were controlled by the French government.

• At the coming of the sixteen-century, coaches could carry up to eight passengers, but their slow journeys were because of their luggage, it made the market demand would be strong of journeys. To satisfy this demand, the next step of development in coach technology was the stagecoach. “The stagecoach presented many new subsidiary business opportunities. As stagecoach operations expanded, the demand for better vehicles increased” (Lay, 1992). Another big development change was in 1669, "the new iron suspended coaches", and those called flying coaches and basket coaches amid changing public perceptions as consumer behavior of the demand of people.

At the end of it century, in 1886, the year of birth of the “modern automobile” is regarded; his inventor was German, Karl Benz. Karl Patent-Motorwagen was a vehicle designed to be propelled by a motor. At July 3 of 1886, Benz officially unveiled on the Ringstrasse (RingstraBe) in Mannheim, Germany. It was the first three-wheeled automobile with a rear-mounted engine; the vehicle was made of steel tubing that included woodwork panels, also in construction drawings of Benz’s own design were the steel-spoked wheels and solid rubber tires. “Fully elliptic springs were used at the back along with a live axle and chain drive on both sides. A simple belt system served as a single-speed transmission, varying torque between an open disc and drive disc” (Motorwagen).
