Since then Mercedes-Benz has sat at the top of the luxury market and has also made some great sports cars too (especially since its full acquisition the AMG company). The 1960s saw continued success with the 220, the 230 and the 600, also known as the W100. The 300 L was the first production vehicle to utilize fuel-injection technology. They soon became industry leaders, and it was after the launch of the large and prestigious Mercedes-Benz W15 that Mercedes-Benz was created as a separate division under Daimler-Benz AG.ĭuring the 1950s Mercedes-Benz launched some of their best looking cars including the 190 and the 300 SL. The company’s cars and trucks were thereafter produced under the name of Mercedes-Benz. After two years, they had formally merged to form Daimler-Benz AG. Then, due to the economic ramifications of the First World War, the competitors began cooperating. They continued to work independently until 1924. The first models to bear the Mercedes name were a series of DMG sports cars named after the daughter of wealthy entrepreneur and auto racing enthusiast Emil Jellinek, Mercedes. By 1900 his firm, Benz & Cie was the world’s largest automaker. Benz was hot on their tracks, producing his first 4-wheeler in 1891. This stood for Daimler-Motren-Gesellschaft. Daimler and Maybach went on to make the first 4-wheel petrol car in 1889, and founded DMG. Both parties were unaware of each other’s work.
Karl Benz produced a petrol-powered car (a 3-wheeler) and Gottlieb Daimler, together with Wilhelm Maybach, produced a petrol-powered converted stagecoach. This occurred in two separate, independent locations in Southwestern Germany only 60 miles apart. Mercedes’ beginnings stretch back to 1886 and the invention of the internal combustion vehicle.
