Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz –
often abbreviated as Mercedes or just Benz) is a well-
known German brand of cars, buses, trucks and road trains
that is owned by the joint-stock company DaimlerChrysler
AG (known before its merger with Chrysler as Daimler-
Benz). In 2011, Mercedes-Benz was the second largest
luxury vehicle manufacturer in the world
• Daimler-Benz AG was founded on June 28, 1926
when two companies, Benz & Cie. and Daimler
Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) merged.Founded in
1871, Benz & Cie., Was one of the most important
companies founded by Karl Benz, being one of the
oldest car manufacturers. DMG was another
automotive company founded by Gottlieb Daimler
and Wilhelm Maybach in 1890. In 1900, Daimler
died, and Maybach left the company founded by the
two in 1890. At that time, the two companies had
already become rival.In 1924, due to the disastrous
economic situation of the Weimar Republic, the two
rival companies entered into an "Agreement of
mutual interest", which allowed them to produce
and sell their own products independently and
which was to be valid for 75 years, until the year
2000. After only two years, in 1926, with the official
merger of Benz & Cie. and Daimler Motoren
Gesellschaft, the name Mercedes-Benz was
created.In 2010, Mercedes-Benz sales increased by
15% to 1.17 million pieces
The three pointed star on any automobile or on a chain around the neck
of a ghetto boy means only one thing, the owner has class, which is exactly
the impression Daimler AG, owner of the Mercedes-Benz brand wants you
to think and is why they have been accused of not making theft-proof
badges for their cars
• The BMW Group actually took advantage of the fact that Mercedes-
Benz seemed to have lain on the laurels of victory and success in 2008
to sell more cars than Mercedes-Benz. Meanwhile, Audi is growing
rapidly, and the podium is beginning to promise a major change.
