Origins
The origins of Mercedes-Benz trace back to the 19th century, with Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, both of whom played a crucial role in the Company’s development. With Benz’s invention of the Benz Patent-Motorwagen & Daimler’s development of a motorized carriage, both independently produced an automobile in 1886.
In 1926 , both came together to form the Mercedes-Benz brand. The brand’s name was inspired by Mercedes, the daughter of Emil Jellinek, a key figure in the Company .

In the 1930’s the company launched the Mercedes-Benz 770 also known as the “Grand Mercedes” which was their foray into the luxury segment. Post the Second World War the company continued to innovate with models like the 300 SL Gullwing, a sportscar that recorded speeds of over 260kmph, making it the fastest car in production at the time. The Brand’s commitment to safety was also highlighted with introduction of the crumple zone in the 1950s and the anti-lock braking system in the 1970s, setting new benchmarks in vehicle safety.
