When the World Exhibition in Paris opened to the public on April 14th 1900, car enthusiasts found that the outstanding new invention was an electric vehicle - the Lohner-Porsche. Its front wheels were driven by what were known as wheel hub motors, which Ferdinand Porsche - who was 25 years old at the time - had developed as head engineer of the car company "k.u.k. Hofwagenfabrik Jakob Lohner & Co." in Vienna-Florisdorf. Porsche as a Company will only appear 47 years later but the electric hub wheel drive invented by Professor Ferdinand Porsche - the future founder of Porsche Company - will be applied in several occasions like for the NASA Lunar Roving Vehicle of the Apollo Missions on the Moon and even today in some electric cars projects.
