History of Mercedes Benz
Mercedes-Benz, one of the world’s most renowned luxury automobile manufacturers, traces its roots back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The brand’s origins lie with Karl Benz, who created the first petrol-powered car, the Benz Patent Motorwagen, in 1886. Simultaneously, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach were developing their own horseless carriage. The two pioneering paths converged in 1926 when Benz & Cie and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft merged to form the company now known as Mercedes-Benz. The brand name itself comes from Mercedes Jellinek, the daughter of an influential automobile dealer who greatly admired the Daimler cars. Over the decades, Mercedes-Benz has become synonymous with engineering excellence, innovation, and luxury, continually setting benchmarks in automotive design, performance, and safety.
