History
Contenido
En el periodo precolombino los incas poseían un rudimentario pero eficiente sistema de caminos interconectados a lo largo y ancho de su imperio, por el cual trasladaban distintos tipos de mercaderías. A pie o a lomo de llamas, sus mercaderías lograban llegar a su destino a veces a través de puentes de cuerdas. Entre el siglo la formación e instalación de grandes corporaciones de fabricantes ha dado un gran impulso a la producción de vehículos tanto para el uso particular como para el transporte público y de mercancías, así como la exportación a terceros países.
Road
In the thirteen British American colonies, which extended west to the Mississippi River, the primary mode of land transportation was by pack animal train and by horse on Native American trails.
Around 1800 dirt roads were made by removing brush and trees from these trails.
Land transportation developed more slowly. For centuries traditional means of transportation, restricted to riding animals, carts, and animal-drawn sleighs, rarely exceeded an average of 16 km/h. Land transportation improved little until 1825, the year in which British engineer George Stephenson adapted a steam engine to a locomotive and started the first steam railway between Stockton and Darlington, England.
It has been in the century when the road network in Spain has developed the most. Successive governments have made large investments to achieve high-capacity basic roads (highways and highways) that allow the movement of a large number of people and goods through Spanish territory with levels of motorization close to those of large industrialized countries.
In America, the horse, the mule and wheeled transportation were introduced by the Spanish and Portuguese. They often took advantage of the routes built by the indigenous people.
Already in the century there were roads that linked the current Argentine cities of Tucumán and Buenos Aires, Mexico City with its neighbors Guadalajara and Jalapa, as well as the Andean cities of Lima (Peru) and Paita. Coastal roads were also built in Brazil.
