The Daimler delivery van
In 1898 Daimler changed the drive system in his delivery vans (as he called his small commercial vehicles), swapping the belt system for a chain drive. In addition, the engine was mounted under the driver's seat, With the help of its two-cylinder engine, which boasted an output of 6 hp, Daimler's delivery van could shoulder a payload of 1,200 kg.
