Mercedes-Benz history and facts
If you’re after an instantly recognisable car, you can’t go wrong with a Mercedes-Benz - if you’ve got the budget for one.
The company, with its three-pointed star symbol, is well known for producing luxurious cars that come with a high price tag, from Formula One models to everyday cars you see on the road including the Mercedes GLA and GLE.
Its motto is ‘The Best or Nothing’ and this is encompassed in the quality and design of the cars, and the price tag.
The first petrol-powered car was produced by Karl Benz in 1886 and it is the oldest automotive brand still around today.
It was patented in 1886 and first marketed in 1901 by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, which is also known for creating the first motorcycle in 1885.
After the First World War, the two men formed a new partnership and in 1926 the first Mercedes-Benz cars were produced.
In 1958 it began selling its cars in America. In 1995 it created the first autonomous car, the W140 S-Class, which drove along the Autobahn in Germany on its own, fuelled using microprocessors.
Since then it has produced several well-known classic cars, has factories all over the world, and has moved into the electric car market.
