Hercules (Bulgarian Company)
Hercules was the first Bulgarian commercial vehicle manufacturer. History Hercules was founded by Peter Georgieff Spassoff (b. 1886, d.1967). Georgieff was a successful importer of vehicles and a manufacturer of carriages. The brands he imported included International Harvester, Krupp, Adler, Triumph. He was the owner of a carriage assembly factory in Asparuhovo, adjacent to Varna's commercial port. Georgieff entered into a partnership with two brothers, Anastas and Panayot Ilchev, who imported vehicles from the United States. The Bratya Ilchevi Partnership was registered in 1926 at the Varna District Court. It was later terminated, by a court ruling in 1940, which followed an application by the partners to dissolve the partnership. Together, Georgieff and Ilchevi established Hercules by expanding Georgieff's carriage factory. They equipped the factory with tools and machinery required for the production of trucks, buses and bus bodyworks, funded by Bratya Ilchevi. Georgieff ...

Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Of Bulgaria
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy. Available energy sources include potential energy (e.g. energy of the Earth's gravitational field as exploited in hydroelectric power generation), heat energy (e.g. geothermal), chemical energy, electric potential and nuclear energy (from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Many of these processes generate heat as an intermediate energy form, so heat engines have special importance. Some natural processes, such as atmospheric convection cells convert environmental heat into motion (e.g. in the form of rising air currents). Mechanical energy is of particular importance in transportation, but also plays a role in many industrial processes such as cutting, grinding, crushing, and mixing. Mechanical heat engines convert heat into work via various thermodynamic processes. The internal combustion engine is perhaps the most common example of a mechanical heat engine, in w ...
