Did You Know?
What was the original purpose of chauffeurs?
The word "chauffeur" is French for "stoker" โ early automobiles were steam-powered, and someone had to stoke the engine boiler before the car could move. As gasoline cars replaced steam, the chauffeur's role shifted from mechanic-operator to professional driver. The formal title and white-glove tradition endured.
