A Daimler motor omnibus with seating for ten passengers and powered by a 10 hp / 7.4 kW, two-cylinder engine, goes into service between Künzelsau and Mergentheim (Württemberg). The private omnibus service is also commissioned to deliver post along its 30-km route. Thus it becomes the first motorized postal service in Germany, although the service is suspended in July 1899.
