I don’t own a car, I ride my bike to get from a to b. And I use public transport. That gets me pretty much everywhere. I don’t I’ll own car anytime soon though.
Bike and trains for me. Though we have a 25 year old Audi we took over from the in-laws because it wasn’t worth selling it standing in front of the door For emergencies, I guess 🙄🤷♀️
Ettore Bugatti is of Italian origin, of course, but he founded the company in France
I drive a Mazda,but would like a Lexus LFA 😉
Audi, Porsche, Skoda, Seat, Scania, Lamborghini, Bentley all these are Brand of VW.
Opel was a brand of GMC.
From 1998 to 2021 Bugatti was a brand of VW
Mini and Rolls-Royse are BMW Brands.
Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati are Fiat Brands
Smart is a Brand of Mercedes
Germany invented the car
Some say it's french the first proper car (1888 or 1889, a peugeot ot citroen i can't remember). It used a german engine
it's french but two are close of it
Cars were invented in 1886, when German inventor Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen.
There might be older cars elsewhere that never got a patent, but Germany has the oldest patent on a car.
Volkswagen owns Audi, Skoda, Porsche and more brands.
Fun fact: Rolls Royce and Mini are owned by BMW and Bentley and Lamborghini are Volkswagen group brands. Most of the hardware in these cars is engineered in Germany nowadays.
Viva Alemania! ^^
Skoda and Seat are owned by VW too, if that matters.
Bugatti is also owned by VW...
Skoda too VW group
bugatti was italian and it was selled to france
Seat is not Swedish. It's Spanish. And it's pronounced Se-at.
The list is also missing a lot of smaller car brands. And I have no idea, why they had one truck brand on the list, while ruling out a dozen others.
Opel might be an old brand, but they didn't make cars from the beginning.
True i was going to sy that, SEAT is Spanish. Also the point about Opel can be said for alot of the brands tho, BMW, Rolls Royce started making airplane engines and Porche made tanks in WW2, also that Renault date is hilarious, 2009 is incorrect, they exist since 1898
saab isnt car manufacturer anymore, they completely moved to military aviation now, and their planes are considered to be better than eurofighter or french fighter jets, and deffo are better than russian ones.
And BMW started out also as aviation company but switched to cars.
Lamborghini started as farming equipment manufacturer.
@@messman2000 Renault sucks tho
Rimac is missing
Seat is a brand of VW, Bently, RollsRoy and so on are owned from German manfuktures.
"Audi" was a company founded by a guy called "August Horch". "Horch" literally translated to English means "listen!"
At some point, Horch lost control of his old company, which bore his name, and founded a new one. The rights to the name "Horch" still belonged to the old company, so he was looking for an alternative, and found it in the latin form. "Audi" just means "listen!" in Latin.
"Volkswagen" literally means "people's car". It was founded during Germany's infamous Nazi era, when Ferdinand Porsche (he of the Porsche sportscar fame) developed the idea of a cheap, simple car that everyone could afford... a car for the people.
He designed and started to build the very first version of the famous VW Beetle ("Käfer" in German)... though due to the war, not many models reached the people who had ordered - and started to pay for - it.
"BMW" is the abbreviation for "Bayerische Motorenwerke" - Bavarian Engine Fabrications. They started out as exactly that... producing engines, for cars, motorcycles and planes.
"Mercedes-Benz" is based on the oldest car producers worldwide - yes, even older than Ford.
Gottlieb Daimler was granted a patent for a gasoline engine in 1883. Carl Friedrich Benz constructed the first vehicle with an internal combustion engine in 1886.
The name "Mercedes" is derived from the name of the daughter of one of Daimler's early sellers and racedrivers... Mercedes Jellinek. He came to use this name as advertisement to sell Daimler's cars... image sells.
The two companies merged in the 1920s to form "Daimler-Benz", and they sold their cars under the brand name of "Mercedes-Benz".
"Opel" was founded by Adam Opel... but they didn't start to build cars in 1862. They build sewing machines. Precision machines like that lend themselves to diversification, and soon the build bicycles, combustion engines, motorcycles, cars and trucks. The lightning symbol was originally just the sign for a single truck model... the "Opel Blitz (lightning)"... which was such a major success in many variants that it became the symbol for the whole company.
Audi name was actually constructed from the initials of 3 separate manufacturers who were horchs rivals after he lost control of the company pre world war 1 he approached those rivals aiming to form an amalgamation of bran therb
Audi is Auto Union Horch, DKW, Audi and Wanderer.... thats the reason for the 4 rings!
@@christopherrobertson8098 No, after the second world war the company that was called Auto Union (which should also work in English), which consisted of Horch, DKW, Audi and Wanderer, renamed itself to Audi. They kept the four ring logo (each ring representing one of the four member companies). In the sixties they also acquired the manufacturer called NSU, but they decided not to extend the logo with a fifth ring, most likely because it would look too much like the symbol of the Olympics. BTW: Audi is a subsidiary of Volkswagen.
here is the bombshell: Enzo Ferrari sold the car company completely in 1969 to FIAT. He had no executive control since then on the road cars built by Ferrari.
Fun fact, the 3 point seat belt was invented by Volvo in Sweden, but they decided to let everyone use it if they wanted to😄
Fiat did almost the same with the Common Rail, they let everyone to use it except for Volkswagen.
Without making money on it...
Volkswagen is like the most German of German cars. Funny you would think it's from anywhere else. That's like wondering if the baguette is French or the Queen (RIP) is English, lol.
VW owns Audi, Seat, Skoda, Porsche etc
"Volkswagen is like the most German of German cars"
Heil yes!
true SS brand
Mercedes is the most German brand. And the most car brand brand
It's funny cause Volkswagen literally translates from german as the people's car
Idk I always thought it was bmw based on designs, cars. But now I think about it, it makes sense for it to be vw
Alfa Romeo is pretty much the reason why Ferrari even exists.
Scuderia Ferrari started out as a tuning house for Alfa Romeo racing cars (kinda like what AMG is to Mercedes).
They bought and prepared Alfa Romeo racing cars for "gentlemen drivers", functioning as the racing division of Alfa Romeo.
Alfa Romeo withdrew from racing in the 1930's, and that basically gave Enzo Ferrari the idea of making his own racing cars.
Also Lamborghini didnt start with cars, they started with farming machines (Lamborghini Trattori) in 1948 and Ferrucio was unhappy with Ferrari's GT cars (always broken). So he want to cooperate, but Enzo Ferrari declined so Lamborghini started working on 350 GT - ultimate GT car....
Later, in 80s, there was engineer in Lamborghini with idea of super light material for body work - carbon fiber. They didnt accept his idea of Countach made of Carbon fiber so he left and started his own company - his name was Horacio Pagani
Škoda is quite popular in the Central Europe due to the great price-performance ratio. The company was established and is settled in the Czech Republic, but is owned by German Volkswagen. There is no significant import of utility cars from the USA in Europe, we use the European brands or Japanese/Korean ones.
They show the really fancy models of each car brand in this video, but most of these brands create also small more everyday cars, that people can afford.
Also, “working men” mostly use minivans, that don’t have any seats in the back and not a pick-up truck. ( At least in my country)
Oh, and the Smart was actually developed in Switzerland but in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, which is probably the reason why it’s listed as German.
Depends on the "working" and how much space he need. But if they need not much space to transport the often use a station wagon (and no not the ugly american ones from the 1970s) or a transporter (something like regular cars with the size of a UPS-Delivery car), or a truck or Semi-truck
Thanks for the clarification. I’m not much of a car person and lack the proper terminology.
I looked it up and I did mean transporter when I wrote minivan :)
Vw audi skoda is everywhere and probably one of the most sold cars
except for fiat... the choose the crappiest one XD
You know Skoda, Seat, Audi, Lamborgini, Bentley and Porsche are owend by Volkswagen?
wrong, they are owned by the Porsche Holding and are part of the Volkswagen group. BTW. Bugatti was also part of it.
@vkevv-Denmark is now owned by rimac.
Rimac is now owner of Bugatti, now it's Rimac-Bugatti automibili
+ Bugatti at least until 2021
VW brands are: Volkswagen (VW), Audi, SEAT, Cupra, SKODA, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati (motorbikes), Scania, MAN (both trucks)...
Germany is 4th in GdP after USA, Japan and China. The EU comes straight after the US - even though it is only half the size. BTW: Smart is a Mercedes brand and Mercedes also builds trucks and pickups.
And Busses and Coaches
The idea of the Smart car actually originated in Switzerland.
Smart, Some Mercedes Are Really Tiny
The Mercedes pick-up is pretty much a rebadged Nissan Navara
And Lamborghini make tractors, which has their main business from the start. Cars started as a side project of Mr. Lamborghini :)
Germany has always been an economic powerhouse very clever people.
Yeah💪😉
Since the USA and Norway blew up our Nordstream pipelines, the German economy has been in great danger.
ALWAYS??? lol what?
@@germanCrowbargood
You won't need a Pickup-Truck over in Europe, because either you just put a trailer behind your car or you have a big trunk. In perspective the U.S. limits the usage of trailers although most brands can easily pull small and medium sized trailers. And renting a trailer at the next hardware store or asking a friend/neighboor would also be an option. So no real need for a Pickup-Truck 😅 However you may see many Transporters here. I guess they are the most comparable option to your typical U.S. Pickup-Truck.
Also, pick ups available are different, with Ford Ranger, VW Amaraok, Mercedes X class...
And with a F150 you would have much trouble finding a parking space. It's just too big for most of Europe. My last RV was shorter and about as wide as the F150. And it did only fit on my private parking space because I parked it literally into the hedge which still has a hole there.
VW has Pickup Trucks and Mercedes top.
But Most of Pickup Trucks are from Asia Like Toyota Mitsubishi our Nissan
For Work Most people uses Vans Like a VW Transporter, Ford transit,..
There of one fault SEAT (pronounced "see at") is from spain. And Skoda is from Czech-Republic.
Worser is when you know which brands are owned by the same company 🙂
BMW owns Mini and Rolls-Royce
Stellantis (Dutch Company) owns Peugeot, Citroen, DS (the Luxury brand of Citroen), Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, RAM, Mopar, Alfa Romeo, Masserati, Lancia
Volkswagen (VW) owns - Audi, Porsche, Skoda, SEAT, Cupra (sporty brand of SEAT), Lamburgini, Bentley, Bugatti and Ducati (the Motorcycle Company)
The Problem with the the "German Luxurios Brands" is that US-Citizen only buy big cars and only the biggest, highest-end cars are exported to the US. So you only see the Mercedes S-Class AMG 8.3Liter V12 with 1000hp zero to 60 in 3.3seconds in the US while Europeans drive the B-Class Minivan, the"smaller than a Honda Civic" A-Class, the 110hp C-Class (VW Golf as Sedan) or the BMW 118 (A Prius is bigger), or thee Audi A2, A3, A5. VW MAybe some Golf GTI, but not the normal bread and butter 90hp entry level version or the VW Polo, UP, Lupo. SAme with the SUV Versions from the German brands. Only the biggest comes to america, the smaller Golf Size SUV) from BMW (X1, X3) or Audi (Q2?) never ever in US of America.
VW doesn't own Bugatti any more, the rest is correct.
@@arthur_p_dent Bugatti Rimac is now a Croatian car manufacturer
Bugatti Rimac is a joint venture of VW and Rimac. Rimac has 55% od the new company, while VW has 45% and full access to Rimac Technology (R&D of electric powertrains and bateries)
@@earendil266 Porsche owns 45% of Bugatti and 24% of Rimac and yes i know VW ownes Porsche
I'm not sure that Stellantis is really a Dutch company, it seems to be more of a tax thing. Their corporate contact address looks like a mailbox company and their headquarter building looks like a car dealership.
Normally in europe the company you work for provides the vehicle for you to work, but it's normally vans, small trucks, you would be surpised that pretty much all those brands Renault, Peugeot, Mercedes, VW, Citroen, they all produce work vehicles
They missed out loads of British car brands. From Lotus, McLaren, Morgan, Ascari, Cateram, Ariel and more.
Looks like we have to do a part two then! I've heard of lotus and McLaren but not the others
Also TVR, Vauxhall, Lagonda, Noble, Arash and so much more!
@@liukin95 I knew they were there I just couldn't remember them. They went under my "and more" category. 🤭
And Alvis, and Bristol, and Triumph, and Standard...
@@liukin95 Vauxhall is Opel
11:18 how old is this video?? Saab hasn't produced cars since 2012 and the company has since been dissolved.
Also, SEAT is Spanish, not Swedish.
FWIW, Seat, Skoda and Audi all belong to the Volkswagen Company and most model have sister models in the different brands just with different badges, different engines, and different price tags. So I would say no, the Skoda doesn't look like BMW, it really literally looks like a Volkswagen.
So do Lamorghini (subsidiary of Audi), Bentley, Bugatti and Porsche. Also part Volkswagen Group. Along with Ducati Motorbikes, Scania Trucks and MAN Trucks. More recently also Cupra, which is kind of a sporty spin off from Seat.
@@morbvsclz true - except for Bugatti, where VW no longer holds a majorty.
But these brands don't really have any "sister models" with other VW brands, which is why I didn't bother to mention them.
Saab Automobile is defunct since 2016. Saab itself is still going strong producing airplanes as they done since 1937. The little attempt at cars they started 1947, was sold of to General Motors in 1990 since it wasn't going well, sadly enough GM didn't seem to be able to do much better and after they gave up on it in 2010 and after a few false tries with smaller companies with much less money and no more know how that experiment was finally laid to rest in 2016.
All hail the car cartel overlords
@10:59 For The Netherlands, the people that work on like railroads or need a bigger car to hold all of their tools, maintenance etc. usually drive work vans, mostly Volkswagen type. Pickups are a bit clumsy for the roads here and we have strict laws about things sticking out of the back of the car. So a large van is a go-to.
Feli from Germany made a video about „German brands you pronounce wrong“
There talks a little bit about the companies, too. Interesting!
Each Carbrand has it's variations. You can find "Work Cars"of almost every Brand.( besides pure Sportscars). I used to have Opels for the Last 28Years, pulled Horses, transported youth soccer Teams,
RIP SAAB motorcars.
The founder of Bugatti and his family were Italian and emigrated to France.. so yes, technically it's a French brand
Citroen was a dutchman, after he couldnt get funding to produce cars there he moved to france and got his funding there
Its owned by VW so technically its a german brand
@@cedo19 so are Seat and Skoda, yet they are still considered Spanish and Czech brands respectively.
Napoleon is Italian only technically French.
We usually do not use Pick up trucks here in europe (Germany). You barely see them. We have big trucks, and sort of... buses without windows, just for transporting things. And of course smaller trucks
those are called Vans and they have them in States too lol.
What we have that they don't are the small flatbed trucks you see in contruction (a lot of them are japanese "kei trucks").
Porsche wanted to buy Volkswagen. Porsche had borrowed money for this. But when Porsche started buying shares from Volkswagen, the price of Volkswagen skyrocketed. This meant that Porsche could not buy VW. But the financiers put pressure on Porsche so that Volkswagen finally bought Porsche. Audi, Seat and Skoda are also trademarks of VW.
Plus Scania MAN Lamborghini Bugatti
Great reaction! Here a few things: "Smart" is not only German, it has been created by a Swiss watch brand called Swatch & Mercedes-Benz helped them produce the car. "Seat" is from Spain not from Sweden. "Saab" don't get produced anymore. "Skoda" is from the Czech Republic & a little fun fact for "Fiat" in German we say

Für Italiener ausreichende Technik - sufficient technology for Italians
Saab was ruined by GM. They started as a company building planes so the name Saab is the swedish abbreviation for "Swedish aeronautics company".
Here in Munich there is an old Saab with a sticker on it: "Born by airplanes, killed by assholes". Nailed it!
Britain lol...every brand of yours is at the bottom for dependability.@@jamesdaniels401
Its Opel in Europe, in UK its called Vauxhall and in North America its Buick, Saturn and Cadillac. It has other names in USA
Opel was owned by GM until some years ago and designed (with also GM owned Daewoo) the small hatchbacks and Sedans that then where sold as GM-Brand cars in the US.
I honestly had no idea they are called Opel in Europe until I visited Poland in 2019. Kept seeing corsas everywhere with the Opel logo and was so confused 🤦🏼♀️
@@mdx7460 They are not called Opel in Europe. These cars are Opel. Buick Verano, Cascada, Regal, Encore are rebagged Opel. Saturn Astra and Aura, too.
Opel was a GM subsidiary for many decades. A lot of their cars cross-pollinated between the US and European markets (Cadillac Catera for instance was an Opel Omega with a Saab engine). I believe GM sold Opel to Peugeot now.
Rolls Royce makes most of its money making a huge number of aircraft engines. The cars are just a side hustle.
They’re actually two separate companies that have nothing to do with one another now
There are two different unrelated companies.
The car business was sold to BMW in 1998 and operates as Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
The aircraft engines are made by Rolls-Royce Plc which is a wholly British company and is the second largest aircraft engine manufacturer in the world.
Rolls Royce engines own the name and key rolls Royce cars use it on license - a bitter pill VW had to take when BMW swiped it from underneath them when they tried to buy Bentley & Rolls Royce cars at the same time
Couple of mistakes in the source video: Seat is from Spain, not Sweden. Smart is from Switzerland, not Germany. They included Scania but forgot about trucks like MAN and DAF from Netherland and Iveco from Italy. We don't use pickups, we prefer vans like Mercedes Sprinter or Fiat Ducato (both sold in US but Fiat is sold as RAM ProMaster).
Skoda (Czechia) and Seat (Spain, not Sweden!) are both subsidiaries of VW. Seat is an acronym for Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo; it was co-founded by the Spanish government, Spanish banks and Fiat in 1953. Since 1986 it is part of VW.
Lada is Russian.
Smart was cofounded by Mercedes-Benz and Nicolas Hayek (owner of Swatch group). It is now a joint venture of Daimler-Benz and the Chinese car producer Geely.
That video about car companies has a few mistakes, for example SEAT is Spanish, not Swedish. Moreover, although Skoda Auto has had that name since 1925, it has been around since 1895 (as Laurin and Klement) and has been making vehicles since 1905. Moreover, Tatra Trucks and theoretically Praga are missing for the Czech Republic.
The guy who started Bugatti (Ettore Bugatti) was Italian but his company was based in France. The location of the factory is such that it was briefly a Germany manufacturer due to the moving German-French border in the aftermath of World War 2.
11:00 - we have japanese pickups; Hilux, L200, Navara etc but mostly we use vans like Crafter, Sprinter, or smaller like Caddy
n Unimogs for special use ;)
"vagina hole" 🤣😂🤣 love how freaky accurate that is
i say Peugeot as "per" and "joe"
7:50 This is cuore sportivo, the symbol of Alfa Romeo. All Alfas have cuore at the front.
SEAT is Spanish not Swedish :) And it's not Seat, but "SE -AT";
Also Peugeot is Pronounced "PE. JO" lol....
I would argue that Ford is the most popular car brand in the UK, although it’s pretty much a completely different brand than the US branch. I didn’t see any Fiestas or Focuses last time I visited the US!
You can get the Focus in the USA but its mostly Pick up trucks like F 150 and SUVs now.
@@andrewwaller5913 And the Falcon was semi-popular in the states (though probably more popular in Australia) at one point, which was the US branch version of the European branch Mondeo.
True. European Fords are completely different.
When we brought an F-150 pickup from the U.S. to the Czech Republic, none of the authorized Ford dealers in Prague could service it because they were not equipped to lift a vehicle weighing 2.2 tons :) In the end, our BMW mechanic is servicing it.
Pickup Truck Mercedes Sprinter most european car Brand have big van for Worker
You should know that these brands are owned by just a few companies.
VW Group incudes VW, Audi, Porsche, Skoda, Seat (by the way Spanish), Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini …
BMW Group includes Mini, Rolls Royce …
Stellantis includes Peugeot, Citroën, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Opel …
And so with most of the rest
U have the know
The owner of Rols Royce is BMW
The owner of Bentley is Volkswagen
The Owner of Lamborghini is Audi
The Owner of Bugatti is Volkswagen
Work-truck-brands in Europe are: Scania, MAN, Mercedes, Volvo, Fiat, Peugeot, Citroen, Volkswagen. Renault, etc. Beside the Semi-Trucks they have as well smaller size work-trucks. Ford is big in the Ranger, VW has the Amarok, Mercedes the Sprinter = Dodge Freightliner, MAN, VW-Crafter, Peugeot Partner, Fiat Ducato etc.... There is a wide offer for any kind of business. Ram and F150 are very rare in Germany, some you will find in other European Countries.
Yes, not much of a market for pick-up trucks in Europe. If you need a truck you get a real truck, and if not you just get a car, doesn't leave much use for pickups.
rolls roce was baught by by BMW and is now german, bently was baught by VW in in now germany, ferrari, lamborghini, bugatti many other car manufaer were baught my germany companys... there german know.
The video is when and who created them. Rolls Royce is a British creation and even though it is now owned by Germany the majority of the construction is done in the UK. Germany said it was very important to them to keep tradition of Rolls Royce British.
@@eggy_bread8579 i think she sayed what europen car are like, but i would ask here wat she meant, who ownes the cars or who created the car a long time ago. ask here
and look at wikipedia theres the answere
@@haukegebhardt3378 This video is about the origins. The origins of Rolls Royce is British. Any idiot can edit Wikipedia.
From a french person. Peugeot is prononce puh_jo and Citroen is see_tro_hen. Renault is reh_no.
The real inventors of the car are the italians Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci patented in England in 1854. In 1877 Felice Matteucci, faced with the attribution of the invention of the internal combustion engine to Nikolaus August Otto, claimed the invention to himself and to Barsanti, relying on the patent filed in England, France, Piedmont and at the Accademia dei Georgofili in Florence . But he failed to get the invention recognized, even though Otto's drawing was clearly similar to theirs.
Alfa romeo are basically family cars with ferrari engine's in them
You don't know what you are talking about!
@@MrPeetmura have a look at most of the 80s-2010s flagship alfas and you will see a lot of them have ferrari engines with alfa branding
Our family have three. Our daughter (19) has my original car - a Saab 900.
Wife and I have two Lancia's we share. Delta S4 and the Integrale.
My first car was a Ford Cortina (Mark III).
Sharing Deltas... that's relationship goals right there.
10:45 well in both cases I guess I would be employed by a bigger company who provides some lorrys, or transporter like the MB Sprinter, FIAT Ducato etc. but... almost nobody has in Europe the real need of a pickup truck. Some forest ranger or professional hunters.. but thats it.
Yeah I was about to comment that thank you bro.
Fuel in Europe is pretty similar to in the States, except:
- It costs about twice as much;
- It doesn't have as much ethanol in it;
- The system used to measure octane is different, so the numbers on the pump are higher but the principle is the same;
- Diesel is more popular here than in the US;
- You can prepay at the pump but rarely actually HAVE to; everywhere that I am familiar with uses self service.
I thought "Seat" was Spanish..? (Now owned by VAG (Volksvagen group - Audi in this case)).
You are right. Seat is Spanish
Favors. It may surprise you to know that the newly created automotive giant stellantis group own Chrysler. Stellantis group is the new holding company name for all the brands owned by the fiat empire in italy. They also own Ferrari, Maserati, alfa romeo, Lancia, peugeot, citroen and vauxhall in the UK as Peugeot citroen group (Psa) purchased vauxhall for a staggering 2.4billion pounds in 2016 and this was included in fiats majority ownership purchase of Psa group in 2020
Germany buyed Lamborghini, Bugatti, Rolls Royce, Bentley too they are all germans now.😂
Skoda (Tschech Republik) and Seat (Spain) belong to Volkswagen as well
Tbh, I almost got a Volvo xc40 BUT Lexus/ Toyota reliability & reputation got me 😁🚗
Opel and GM where partners from the early 1930‘s. Because of the names of the brands and the different languages the manufacturer sometimes play a little around. So you won’t find SEAT some English speaking countries but they sell there cars with another name. Same thing is Opel. I think in America you can buy Opel Models with the Saturn label. In UK they where selled as Vauxhall
Don't do pickups much in Europe you'll find most workers use vans and for decades alot where ford transits but you can get vans from most car manufacturers now.
10:31
We import a *lot* of Asian cars.
But yeah, the US has next to no market share here and a bad reputation for poor quality manufacturing.
Japanese and Korean cars however easily can match our own, often duking it out even vs northern European brands in quality although we still have a better reputation when it comes to safety.
Should I film a car tour?? 🤔
You should check which automobile companies are owned by Volkswagen and Stellantis. Both corporations have their HQ in Europe. You will be shocked. 😂
We Germans invented cars.😃Carl Benz and Mr. Diesel (that´s a real name) Greetings Elmar.
Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler that would be.
Rudolf Diesel didn't really invent the car - he invented the DIesel engine, which, however, at first was much too big for a car; it could only be used for stationary purposes. It took until 1903 that it could be used on ships, and another 20 years before it was first put into a truck.
FWIW, while diesel fuel totally is named after Rudolf Diesel, it is a myth that gasoline ("Benzin") is named after Carl Benz.
The merit of these two is more on the development of the fuels, the engine is an evolution of Otto's engine which was clearly copied from the patents of Barsanti and Matteucci of 1854 and 1861, but unfortunately Barsanti died prematurely when he was starting to market the patented his engines and could not defend the paternity of his invention
@@RubraLIber Thank you for clearing this up.
@@elmarwinkler6335 When Daimler and Benz were putting precisely the new fuel best suited to the engine evolved from Otto's project, they worked day and night, arousing suspicions in the neighborhood, who expressed fears as they believed that magical rituals or something inappropriate were being performed.
In any case, they achieved their goal and found the fuel with the right chemistry, which would be very similar to what we now use in gasoline-powered cars.
In my country, Italy, gasoline for cars is in fact called "benzina" (Benz-ina) and not gasoline
They forgot the Dutch brands, like Spyker, Donkervoort and DAF.
only heard of daf and there all lorrys
The Brand "SEAT" originates form Spain. Not from Sweden.
What this Video doesn't shows, is who ones which brand now.
For Example "Mini" belongs to BMW. or Seat belongs to VW.
Alfa has won serveral design awards, the Italian police drives Alfa, Alfa was big in racing events and skoda is a big thing in Europe. Especially the Octavia. You see it everywhere
Skoda has become pretty popular in Europe ever since it was bought by VW and turned into the cheaper way to get a VW if you don't care about the brand markings.
Pretty much everything is owned by VW these days.
Only for Italian cars ✌🏻
If only our car brands/companies could still be ours
You still have Fiat, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, it's only Lamborghini that's owned by Volkswagen.
At least it's not as bad as both Volvo and the sad remains of Saab being owned by the Chinese.
Dear Favour, congrats to you, that is a big step into your future. You even could move to Germany, where we NEED nurses and health personal.
You be safe, healthy and happy. Elmar from Germany.
The problem is nurses in Europe earn significantly less then in US, in Germany it is on average half of what registered nurse earns in US in Spain it is 60% less. Not many european nurses would afford to by Lexus, especially such young nurses.
@@MrGrucha What a shame for us.
Just because these luxurious cars were made in these countries doesn’t mean that the average person can afford them 😂
When you come to the netherlands you can drive 185 days with your US drivers license, after that you have to take driving lessons for a dutch license, if you want to live here.
As a tourist you maybe need an international license next to your US license.
Renault was I think founded in 1909, not in 2009
Most UK brands are German or France now.
Lexus in europe is considered a premium brand on par with Mercedes, BMWs, Audis, Volvos etc.
not like Mercedes don't abuse
@@pierrestaut2335 Like Mercedes, lets be honest A/B/C classes are not the same old Mercedes when it comes to quality, E/S class are other thing

@@karazor-el9596 The only people that thinks Lexus is below BMW/Audi/Mercedes are either really old boomers, Germans or young chavs driving 20 year old e46/A4
Škoda is from the Czech Republic, and in Czehia we pronounce it like Shkoda (I guess, I forgot how to write fonetically in English 😂) And Škoda makes like everything here in Czechia, when you're in the city, the trams are probably made by Škoda, the metro, the trains are also sometimes made by Škoda...
And also Czech women , Czech women are very hot !
we don't care
most of metro trains are Siemens now, but Škoda is making a lot of metro trains for export, they use them for example in Warsaw

Bugatti was invented in France by an italian man called Ettore Bugatti thats why it sounds italian lol
The video you reacted to does not reflect reality. Some examples:
- Volkswagen owns these Brands: Skoda, Seat, Scania, Porsche, MAN, Lamborghini, Ducati, Bugatti, Bentley, Audi
- Mercedes is the largest truck manufacturer of the world
- Only few trucks are exported to the US due to high tarrifs
Well done to becoming a nurse 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
Thank you!! 🩺
You can drive in 126 different counties with a US licence as part of a multinational agreement and we can drive in the US with ours.
Almost noone here uses pickup trucks, everyone uses vans. We have vans for everything, with the big + of having all your stuff covered and protected from weather and theft...
some european brands also do make pickup trucks, but those are mainly for the posh urban warriors and more of a lifestyle product. If there is the need for a truck with a flat bed in the back, we have small trucks and vans in all sizes from a VW Bus style to a hardcore Unimog or a full sized MAN...
Ferrucio Lamborghini, an Italian producer of farm tractors, had bought a Ferrari, which he wasn't pleased with and he complained to Enzo Ferrari, and became insulted by him. So he decided that he would make a better sports car and started with the absurdly good looking, Lamborghini Miura!!! Since then, now owned by VW, Lamborghini has produced a number of the best looking sportscars in the world.
Hahaha... Don't forget about the Romanian Dacia -1968-present xD
Regarding the pick up truck thing for workers: Pick-ups are very uncommon. Businesses like plumbers, electricians etc. use small transporters and busses like the mercedes sprinter or mercedes V-class.
Ferrucio LAMBORGHINI made tractors, he bought Ferraris. One day he complained to Enzo FERRARI that one of his cars did not suit him. Enzo told him that if he wasn't happy with his Ferrari he should just make a LAMBORGHINI.
Ferrucio took Enzo's advice and an automotive department was added to the tractor department.
Fun isn't it?
In 1854 in the UK, the Italian inventors Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci obtained the certification: "Obtaining Motive Power by the Explosion of Gases". In 1857 the Great Seal Patent Office conceded them patent No.1655 for the invention of an "Improved Apparatus for Obtaining Motive Power from Gases".[10][11][12][13] Barsanti and Matteucci obtained other patents for the same invention in France, Belgium and Piedmont between 1857 and 1859.
In addition, new increasingly perfected and powerful engines were built, used in railway and maritime transport. In 1861, together with Matteucci and G.B. Babacci, Barsanti obtained a new patent, on the basis of which the Escher Wiss & C. company of Zurich built a 12 HP motor, which was also very successful commercially.
After various searches, Barsanti and Matteucci decided to entrust the industrial production of a four horsepower engine to the John Cockeril company of Seraing in Belgium, starting from the prototype built in the Bauer e C. Precision Workshops in Milan. For its mass production, Barsanti decided to contact the John Cockeril factory in Seraing and therefore in 1864 he went to Belgium, where he contracted typhoid fever which led to his death on 18 April 1864.
In 1877 Felice Matteucci, faced with the attribution of the invention of the internal combustion engine to Nikolaus August Otto, claimed the invention to himself and to Barsanti, relying on the patent filed in England, France, Piedmont and at the Accademia dei Georgofili in Florence . But he failed to get the invention recognized, even though Otto's drawing was clearly similar to theirs.
In 2021, VW sold the majority of Bugatti to Rimac (Croatia). Now only 11 car brands belong to VW.
Funfact: about 70% of these car brands like Bugatti Lamborghini and so on are now owned by german ones like Volkswagen
SEAT (See-Yat) is Spanish not Swedish btw. and they are owned by Volkswagen. So like Toyota/Lexus.
Skoda Is From czech republic I manufacture station wagons, sedans and hatchbacks
Peugeot and Citroen both make vans they are called the Citroen Berlingo and the Peugeot Partner most people in Ireland use them as a work or farm van but if you want something heavier than go for a Ford Transit or a Renault Trafic or a Volkswagen transporter or a Volkswagen Crafter.
The start dates for the companies are based on when they began car production except Mercedes who were already producing cars under the Mercedes name pre world war 1 but were originally started under the brand Daimler Benz.
They started in the 1800. The oldest street legal car in germany is a Benz Victoria from 1894. And it still drives.
Škoda's flag is Czech Republic girl 😉🇨🇿
Skoda, Seat, Bentley are a few brands names that belong to Volks Wargon. Opal was part of General Motors
Škoda is Sh-koda and "Opal" is OpEl.
East-German car brands no longer manufactured but which you can still encounter : Trabant, Wartburg, EMW,
Czech Tatra.
Russian GAZ (more military), ZIL, Moskvitch, and others.
Belgian APAL (beach buggies on VW chassis mostly) , Minerva (licence-built military Land Rover).
Former Yugoslavia : Zastava.
Poland : Polski - Fiat (licence built though with its own quirks).
That Bugatti is called the “Veron” the most powerful production car on the road, with a power of over 1000BHP
Lamborghini have been manufacturing sports cars since 1963, but were founded in 1948 making tractors
Keep in mind that many of the famous Car brands are owned by VW (Volkswagen) Group: ŠKODA, SEAT, CUPRA, Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Ducati
fun fact : Lamborghini used to make and sell tractors before making cars, also Lamborghini is owned by the germans, like pretty much everything else =))
Rolls Royce is british but owned by BMW. Bentley is owned by Volkswagen as is Bugatti and lamborghini
German makes by far the most quality cars. And Porsches aren’t driven by people who look like they have money, they are driven by people who have money considering the cheapest Porsche 911 starts at a 140.000$. The word “volkswagen” is actually German and means “people’s car” word by word translated. As a German I got a Porsche and an Audi myself. Driving wise the Porsche is definitely the best car, the steering is so direct but it’s pricy, in Germany we call it an understatement “supercar”.
an African living in a cabin deep in the jungle knows all the brands and origins of car brands looool 😅
Peugeot is pronounced per-zhow. the zh part is sort of like making a shhh noise with a j behind it
An anecdote tells that Ferruccio Lamborghini decided to open his car factory after an argument with Enzo Ferrari.
Who wants to tell her how Lamborghini was started? A "friendly" conversation between Mr. Ferrari and one of his (former) customers, Mr. Lamborghini.
Nice content!
As a German I feel honoured
