How long has lorries been around?

Lorries, or trucks, have been around since the late 19th century. The first motorized truck is generally credited to Gottlieb Daimler, who built a gasoline-powered vehicle in 1896. However, horse-drawn lorries date back much earlier, with origins in the 18th century. Over the years, lorries have evolved significantly in design and technology, becoming essential for transportation and logistics.
