Decades ago, the first Mercedes-Benz car was part of the work of karl benz and Gottliep Daimler. But interestingly, the two pioneers of the automobile age have never actually met. They fight for each other and compete with each other. Mercedes-Benz developed Mercedes-Benz cars, Daimler and Maibakh developed Daimler and later Mercedes-Benz cars. It was not until 1924 that the two companies signed a mutually beneficial cooperation agreement. Two years later, 1926, they merged into a new brand, Mercedes-Benz, which was destined to be famous all over the world.
Karl benz invented the automobile in Mannheim.
1883, Carl? Mercedes-Benz established Mercedes-Benz with Max Ross and Friedrich William Eythe Ringer. Rheinland Automobile Manufacturing Company.1886 65438+1On October 29th, he applied for a patent for his gasoline engine tricycle. The world's first car was officially born. Yes, after several years of further research and development, 1894, the world's first production car "Velo" went on the market. By 190 1, * * 200 cars of this type were produced. At the same time, one of his competitors, Daimler -Motoren-Gesellschaft-DMG, was built by Gottliep Daimler in 1890.
Gottliep Daimler invented the car in Ganstadt near Stuttgart.
Daimler invested money and energy in the experimental factory in his villa garden in Ganstadt. The talented Maibakh also worked side by side with him. By 1884, their continuous development of Otto's four-stroke engine paid off, and a lighter and smaller engine was produced, which could be installed on vehicles. This kind of engine was first installed on bicycles, which is the earliest motorcycles. 1886, Daimler and Maibakh installed an improved engine on the world's earliest four-wheel car. In the meantime, Carl? Mercedes-Benz also invented its own three-wheeled motor vehicle in Mannheim's factory.
About 1 1 years later, Maibakh, the chief engineer of Daimler, met Emile YeRinecker. Without Emile YeRinecker, we might not have heard of the name Mercedes today. Ye Rinecker was already a very rich businessman, with a house in Baden near Vienna and a villa in Nice. When he learned about the advanced cars made by DMG in the newspaper, he went to Ganstadt. There, a Daimler car drove him away from the railway station. This "Doppel Phaeton" car left a deep impression on him, and he immediately decided to buy one. But he felt that the power of this 6-horsepower car was still not strong enough. Later, he placed more orders with DMG, but specifically asked wilhelm maybach to make more powerful cars. A year later, Ye Rinecker was more than just a customer. He has become an authorized agent of DMG and started selling DMG cars.
At the same time, Daimler cars from Germany are becoming more and more active on the track. Wherever they appear, Emile YeRinecker will appear. 1900 An accident related to Daimler's Phoenix racing car in the "Nice-Latube" mountain race prompted Yeh Rinecker to suggest that Daimler make a car with more horsepower and easier handling. Maibakh's team began to tackle key problems on April 2nd. DMG and Yee Rinecker agree that * * * will be the market for future automobile development. The name of the car is Mercedes, which is the Christian name of his 10-year-old daughter. On1October 22nd of that year, the research and development of165438+"35 HP Mercedes-Benz" car completely ended in Ganstadt.
Twenty-five years later, 1926, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz merged into one company, Daimler-Benz. It is these four people's lifelong efforts that have built Daimler-Benz into the world's top luxury brand automobile manufacturer, and their enthusiasm and dreams continue to be the driving force for the company's future.
