The pictures display the first in series produced Peugeot - motor vehicle. The engine of the first two was built in license of Gottlieb Daimler's V-2-Zyl. But, unlike for the first-four wheel motor vehicle of Daimler, the engine was placed in the rear. Thus, it treats its passengers somewhat less to noise and exhaust gases. The exhaust was not invented (yet). Armand Peugeot introduced metal pipes that were flushed by water as a means of cooling. From 1897 on (picture3 and 4), Peugeot developed his own engines. The Type 26 is not necessarily a vis-à-vis (facing each other) arrangement, as the backrest might be turned around.

The real impulse to development of the French automotive industry comes from Daimler's and Maybach's demonstration of the steel-wheeled car at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889.
