"1886", the 12th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, is a great year for the whole world, because this year not only gave birth to Mercedes-Benz, but also a large number of world-class companies, such as Coca-Cola, Bosch, Johnson & Johnson and so on.
The three-wheeled Mercedes-Benz 1 manufactured by Karl Benz in 1886 won the world's first automobile-related patent. In the same year, gottlieb daimler and his assistant wilhelm maybach built the world's first four-wheel car "Daimler 1".
1926, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz merged to form Daimler-Benz Automobile Company, and took "Mercedes-Benz" as the brand name, in which Mercedes-Benz was the name of the daughter of Emile Jelinek, the former largest customer of Daimler Company.
The reason why Mercedes-Benz has its present position in the world automobile industry can be said to be inseparable from its brand history, because Mercedes-Benz knocked on the door of the world automobile history at the same time of its birth.
