Parni avtomobil

Stanley Steam Car (1912)

Avtomobil iz leta 1909

Parni avtomobil je avtomobil, ki uporablja za pogon parni stroj. Parni stroji so bili razviti več kot sto let pred motorji z notranjim zgorevanjem kot so npr. bencinski ali dizelski motorji. Vendar so bili parni stroji težki, zato parni avtomobili niso bili tako praktični kot npr. parne lokomotive ali pa parne ladje.
