Gottlieb daimler gottlieb daimler (1834- 1900), a German engineer and inventor, is one of the pioneers of modern automobile industry. 1834, 17 In March, he was born in a family of handicraft workers in Schon-Dover-Reims, Wü rttemberg. His father is a bakery owner. 65438-0852, studying at Stuttgart Institute of Engineering. When he was a teenager, Daimler became interested in gas engines and began to research and develop Otto gas engines. 1872, Daimler designed a four-stroke engine. 1883, he cooperated with his friend and famous inventor wilhelm maybach to successfully develop an engine using gasoline, and in 1885, he installed the engine on a wooden two-wheeled vehicle, thus inventing a motorcycle. 1886, Daimler installed this engine on the carriage he bought for his wife's 43rd birthday, creating the first Daimler car.
1897, Daimler's company produced "Phoenix" passenger cars, especially 1903, which was named after the Christian name "MercedesMercedes" of EmileJelinek, the main investor of the company at that time. Jelinek is the Austrian consul in Nice, and an enthusiastic supporter of Daimler. Its front engine has 35 horsepower, headlights, windshield and a two-door five-seat convertible, which is more similar to the characteristics of modern cars, and has a lighter and more powerful engine, a longer wheelbase and a lower center of gravity, which greatly improves Daimler's commercial position.
1926 On June 29th, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz merged to form Daimler-Benz, which played an important role in automobile history. Since then, all the cars they produced have been named "Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz". 1900 On March 6th, gottlieb daimler died in Batkanstadt, Stuttgart.
Karl friedrich Friedrich Benz (1844- 1929), one of the founders of the famous German Daimler Benz automobile company and one of the pioneers of the modern automobile industry, is called "the father of automobiles". 1844, Ben Ci was born in Karlsruhe as a posthumous child. His father was a train driver, but he died in a car accident 1843 before his birth. Ben Ci has been interested in natural science since middle school. He studied at Karlsruhe University of Arts and Sciences and Karlsruhe University of Science and Technology. In the meantime, he systematically studied courses such as mechanical structure, mechanical principle, engine manufacturing and economic accounting of mechanical manufacturing, which laid a good foundation for future development. After experiencing life experiences such as apprenticeship, military service, marriage and having children, Ben Ci established "Mercedes-Benz Cast Iron Company and Machinery Workshop" in cooperation with Ogu streeter in 1872, specializing in the production of building materials. At that time, due to the sluggish construction industry, Ben Ci's workshops were in trouble and faced with the danger of bankruptcy. In desperation, he decided to make engines to get high profits to get out of trouble. Therefore, he got the business license to produce Otto four-stroke gas engine. After more than one year's design and trial production, the first single-cylinder gas engine (rotating speed 200 rpm, power about 0.7 kW) was manufactured on February 3, 2009. However, this engine did not help Mercedes-Benz out of economic difficulties. He is still in danger of bankruptcy and his life is very difficult. However, poor life has not changed Ben Ci's determination to devote himself to engine research. After years of efforts, 1886+654381October 29th, karl benz invented the first horseless tricycle, which is now kept in Munich Automobile Museum. Mercedes-Benz won'; Automobile manufacturing patent right'; It was this day that was determined as the birthday of the car.
1893, Ben Ci successfully developed the "Vitea" brand car with advanced performance. It uses a 3-liter engine patented by Ben Ci, and the steering wheel is installed in the middle of the car. Although the car has advanced performance, few people can afford it, because the price is as high as 3875 marks, which makes it a unsalable product of the company. This kind of car, which has brought great honor to Mercedes-Benz in technology, has not brought him much benefit in economy. Later, at the suggestion of businessmen, Ben Ci developed and produced a cheap "bicycle" (the price was 2000 marks) in 1894. This kind of "bicycle" sells well, selling 125 vehicles a year. Because it is the first mass-produced motor vehicle in the world, it has brought higher profits to Mercedes-Benz. Later, Mercedes was right'; Victoria; After improvement, the trunk 18 seats are opposite, so it becomes the first bus in the world.
In the process of inventing the automobile, karl benz's courage is very admirable: first, he is willing to work hard and immerse himself in his own invention work; Secondly, he boldly abandoned the steam engine with very mature technology and chose the unpopular internal combustion engine as the power, which reflected a great change in his concept. Third, he can not only develop and produce'; Luxury car'; And can adjust the product structure in time and organize the production of marketable products; Ordinary car'; He has won considerable profits for the company, which shows that he has both the basic qualities of an engineer and the business skills of an entrepreneur.
The Mercedes-Benz company we are talking about now was not founded by Mr. Ben Ci alone, but by two automobile giants, Karl Fepak Su Rong and Ricky Ben Ci, and gottlieb daimler, the originator of automobile invention. 1926, two major automobile companies merged to form Daimler Ben Ci.
Daimler has passed away. Ben Ci is 82 years old. However, for some unknown reasons, the two car inventors, Nature Lane, have never met each other, even though they are in two small towns only 80 kilometers apart. Become a great regret in the history of automobiles. But their heirs lived up to expectations, enabling the two great men to carry forward their careers and make Mercedes-Benz a world-class automobile company.

After that, the company adhered to the policy of producing military products and was determined to establish a unified automobile industry in Germany by relying on Deutsche Bank. During the period of Hitler's Third Reich, the company actively moved closer to the ruling Nazi Party and eventually became its "economic wing".
1934, "Mercedes-Benz" automobile company manufactured the world's first bullet-proof car 770K. This car is a luxury car specially built for Hitler. The car body is made of 4mm thick steel plate, the windshield is 50mm thick, the tires are bullet-proof steel wire mesh tires, the rear seat cushion backrest is equipped with bullet-proof steel plate, the floor is thickened to 4.5mm, and the V8 engine is equipped with a displacement of 7655ml, which can generate 100kw power. 17 cars were produced, most of which were destroyed in World War II.

In World War II, German industry suffered an almost devastating blow, and the company's production stagnated. It was not until 1947 that the first postwar car-the old model 170V was produced.
1949, the company began to recover, and launched its first post-war new car 170s at Hanover Technology Export Expo.
195 1 year, the company launched the 220 equipped with a brand-new engine (6 cylinders, overhead camshaft) at the first Frankfurt International Auto Show.

Today, Mercedes-Benz has become the largest automobile company in Germany, with 65,438+02 series and more than 65,438+000 models, with an annual output of nearly one million vehicles. Despite the continuous efforts of Volkswagen, it still surpassed Mercedes-Benz and ranked second. Among the 65,438+000 largest enterprises in Europe, Mercedes-Benz ranks fourth (Volkswagen ranks fifth and Fiat ranks sixth), among the 500 largest industrial enterprises in the world published by Happiness magazine in the United States, Mercedes-Benz ranks tenth, and among the largest automobile industrial enterprises in the world, Mercedes-Benz ranks fourth after Japanese GM, Ford and Toyota. This series of figures shows the strength and position of Mercedes-Benz in the global automobile industry. What is particularly amazing is that it can still maintain its vigorous vitality after hundreds of years of wind and rain. In recent years, due to the weak economy, other big companies have suffered losses year after year, and even have to take the road of mergers and acquisitions. Mercedes-Benz is not only profitable, but also has high profit stability, avoiding the road of mergers and acquisitions and maintaining the independence of the world's first brand. It is not easy to do this. In addition to the appeal of world-famous brands, the real magic weapon is its high quality guarantee. Quality is the key to success, which is the century-old promise of Mercedes-Benz and the real connotation of shining triangle star.

On the assembly line, each car is marked with the name of the buyer, and the body color and interior are assembled in strict accordance with the model selected by the buyer. "Personalization" is clearly reflected in every Mercedes-Benz.
No car on the assembly line is exactly the same. Meeting the requirements of every customer is the eternal standard of Mercedes-Benz. So everyone who buys a Mercedes-Benz can drive his own car and feel the feeling of "God". After the first car was sold, he left a file. So when he bought Mercedes-Benz, he became a member of the Mercedes-Benz family and could receive meticulous and all-round services. Mercedes-Benz has 65,438+0,700 cars in western Germany alone. There are more than 50 thousand people engaged in maintenance work on the expressway. There is a Mercedes-Benz maintenance station every 25 kilometers on average. Buyers only need to drive and call the 24-hour service phone if something goes wrong. Usually the maintenance station will come and deal with it within half an hour.

Its racing car has won more than 4,000 championships in the history of racing, and racing car is often a "test field" created by new automobile technology. More than 100 vehicles are used for various reliability tests such as safety collision every year. Ordinary cars are often scrapped after driving 654.38 million kilometers, but it is not uncommon for Mercedes-Benz to maintain good performance after driving 300,000 kilometers. Strict manufacturing and excellent material selection are the reliable and durable foundation of Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz also gives people special enjoyment on the basis of safety and reliability.
