Mercedes Benz
Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury
vehicle manufacturer, a division of Daimler AG. The brand is recognized for its
luxury vehicles, buses and trucks. His slogan is "The best or
nothing." The closest competitors of Mercedes-Benz in the current market
of high-end cars are Audi, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Lincoln, Cadillac, Infiniti,
Jaguar, Lexus, Acura. The famous three-pointed star, designed by Gottlieb
Daimler, symbolizes the ability of its engines to use them on land, sea and
air.
At the beginning of the 20th
century, the Daimler cars built in Stuttgart's Untertürkheim district were
successfully driven by an Austrian dealer named Emil Jellinek, who wrote down
the cars under the name of his daughter, Mercedes. After suggesting certain
design modifications, Jellinek promised the company to buy a large production
of its vehicles under the condition of being the exclusive Daimler distributor
for Austria-Hungary, France, Belgium and the USA. UU., And that could sell the
new model under the name "Mercedes".
Our company offers the Mercedes
certificate of conformity for this vehicle through our website.
The change of name was very
useful to prevent legal problems, since Daimler had sold exclusive rights of
use of the name and the technical planes to companies abroad, for which they
have been and are built luxury cars in England under the Daimler brand. . A
fire that destroyed the old Steinway piano factory in New York, which had been
modernized to produce Mercedes cars, ended early with the dream of building
Mercedes in the United States. Gottlieb Daimler was born on March 18, 1834 in
Schorndorf. After a training as a gunsmith he studied mechanical engineering at
the Polytechnic School of Stuttgart. At the end of 1863 he was appointed
inspector of workshops of a machinery factory in Reutlingen. There he coincides
in 1865 with Wilhelm Maybach.
In 1872 he was appointed
technical director of the Gasmotorenfabrik de Deutz, where he knows Otto's
four-stroke engines. In 1882 he left the company and installed a workshop in
the greenhouse of his villa in Cannstatt. In 1884, together with Maybach, he was
able to build a low-weight, compact-size internal combustion engine known today
as a "floor clock". That way, you feel the basis for incorporation
into a vehicle. The rival companies Daimler Motorengesellschaft and Benz &
Cie. they began to cooperate with each other in the 20s to deal with the
economic crisis of those years, to finally merge in 1926 and create
Daimler-Benz AG, which produced trucks and Mercedes-Benz cars.
Its products have been known for
the creation and introduction of the most advanced technologies, highlighting
the injection engine and ABS, among many others. However, these have not always
worked: recently, an active brake system installed on more than 650,000
vehicles had to be removed to repair it for serious problems.
The most important engineers of
the company were Ferdinand Porsche and Wilhelm Maybach. Both left the company
to create their own car model. Porsche developed for Volkswagen (whose
translation is: popular car) the model Volkswagen Beetle, and Maybach, on the
contrary, a luxury sedan with its name. Daimler-Benz would buy Maybach years
later. In 1900 Gotlieb Daimler died and in 1925 Karl Benz and Wilhelm Maybach
died. In 1950 the S-Class was presented, the luxury segment of Mercedes Benz,
there was the S coupe that was replaced by the CL in 1999. In 1979 the off-road
vehicle G was launched for military use in several countries. The decade of the
90s was a great decade of models for Mercedes Benz, as they launched the C 0
passenger cars and the sport utility vehicle Class M.
In 1998 Daimler-Benz, the parent
company of Mercedes-Benz, merged with the American Chrysler Corporation,
creating DaimlerChrysler, the third largest car group in the world. From the
joint synergies appear the first modern models of off-road of the brand. In
2008, the R monovolume and the GL sports car were launched. In 2007, the merger
at DaimlerChrysler failed and Chrysler Corporation sold, separating the two
groups after almost a decade. At the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007,
Mercedes-Benz introduced the vehicle hybrid Mercedes-Benz F700.In 2010 Daimler
signs an agreement with Renault where both companies will share technologies
and future developments, which in 2012 have begun to take notice with the
inclusion of Renault Motorization in Class "A" and "B" and
the Kangoo model as Mercedes Benz Citan.The Mercedes Certificate of conformity
is available for all Mercedes built by the European market.

In 1914, just before the start of
the First World War, Mercedes-Benz won the French Grand Prix, which meant at
the same time a setback for the French. Benz already competed with an
aerodynamically shaped car called Tropfenwagen in the 1920s, before both
companies merged. In the 1930s, with their powerful "Silver Arrows"
(Silberpfeile), they dominated alongside their rival, the Auto Union (future
Audi), the majority of the European Grand Prix, while raising the speed record
in the land to more than 435 km / h (270 mph). Back then, the Mercedes sports
team was run by the great Alfred Neubauer.
Mercedes-Benz registered some
touring cars in the 1960s and the late 1970s, without great success. In
addition there were attempts to enroll in some Rally events to the
Mercedes-Benz W201 in the early 80s without success. Instead, between August 13
and 21, 1983, at the Nardo High Speed ??Track in southern Italy, the new W201
class 190 compact, carrying a 16-valve engine with the cylinder head built by
Cosworth, broke three FIA world records after running non-stop with only
20-second stops every two and a half hours a total of 201 hours, 39 minutes and
43 seconds, completing 50,000 km and with a top speed of 247 km / h. This
turned the W201 into the Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 touring model. Mercedes returned
to sports car racing in 1989, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans as
Sauber-Mercedes and the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft.
