It is the brightest pearl in the crown of German automobile kingdom and the legendary ancestor of automobile. In the 100 years since its birth, every appearance is accompanied by people's envious eyes.

Achieve the same goal through different ways/means.
Speaking of the history of Mercedes-Benz, we can't help mentioning these four people: gottlieb daimler, Carl Benz Ci, wilhelm maybach and emil jellinek.
1883, karl benz, Max Ross, Friedrich and William Salinger established Mercedes-Benz & Mercedes-Benz & CIE.1886 65438+1October 29th, karl benz applied for a patent for his three-wheeled car with gasoline engine, and the world's first car was officially born. After several years of further research and development, 1894 Mercedes-Benz launched the world's first production car "Velo". 1900, Mercedes &; Cie has become the largest automobile manufacturer in the world. 1909, they built the fastest car in the world at that time.
1884, Gottliep Daimler began to study the four-stroke engine, and soon invented a lighter and smaller engine, which can be installed on vehicles. The engine was installed on a bicycle, making it the earliest motorcycle. 1886, Daimler and chief engineer Maibakh installed the improved engine on the world's earliest four-wheel car. 1890, Daimler established its own automobile company DMG (Daimler-motoren-Gesellschaft). Together with Maibakh, he developed the first Daimler car, and the cars they produced began to attract people's attention. Businessman Jerry Nike visited DMG on 1897 and quickly became the sales agent of DMG from its first customer. In the "Nice-Latube" mountain race on 1900, Jelinek, who was obsessed with automobile sports, suggested that DMG make cars with more power and easier handling.
Unfortunately, although Daimler and Karl Ben Ci live in two cities only 80 kilometers apart, they have never met. Their respective companies are in the charge of their respective heirs after their death. After the first world war, inflation caused car sales to get into trouble. Only companies with strong financial resources and excellent products can survive. In this context, DMG and Mercedes-Benz & Cie changed from fierce competition to strong alliance, and realized the merger of design, production, procurement and sales. 1924— 1926, DMG and Mercedes-Benz &; Cie still uses its own trademark, but sells its own products. 1On June 29th, 926, the two oldest automobile manufacturers finally merged into Daimler-Benz AG and began to produce Mercedes-Benz brand cars.
