The Peugeot Type 9 was a particular model of early automobile manufactured by the French company Automobiles Peugeot between 1894 and 1897, [1] during which time 87 examples were built. [2] It was equipped with a 1.2 liter v-twin engine made in conjunction with Daimler, [3] one of 257 such vehicles produced. [4] The Type 9 was advertised as the brand's first closed-top family car. [5] Like most European vehicles from this time period, it had very small dimensions and mirrored the design style of horse carriages. A 1894 Type 9 chassis was the first ever vehicle in the world to be equipped with pneumatic tires(by Michelin). It was called L'Éclair and participated in the 1895 Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race. [6]

For 1897, production of the Type 9 along with that of all other Peugeot models was transferred to the company's first dedicated automobile factory in Audincourt. [7]

The race was won by Émile Mayade who completed the ten-day, 1,710 km, event over unsurfaced roads in 67 hours driving a Panhard et Levassor.

Automotive industry in Vietnam

Automotive industry in Vietnam is a fast growing sector, mainly reliant on domestic sales. All currently produced models are designed abroad by foreign brands, and many rely on knock-down kit production. Due to high import taxes on automobiles, the Vietnamese government protects domestic manufacturing. Although Vietnam is a member of the ASEAN Free Trade Area, automobile imports fall under an exception. Since January 1, 2018, the 30% import tax has been discontinued as part of ASEAN agreements. Currently, the Vietnamese motor industry is not deemed competitive enough to make exports feasible. As of April 2018, 85% of car sales in Vietnam were produced domestically from CKD kits.
