125! years
of innovation
In 1886, Carl Benz was awarded the patent for inventing the first car,
while just 60 miles away, Gottlieb Daimler developed his own version.
Between them they also invented the motorcycle and truck, and won
the first auto race. For 125 years, a passion for innovation has driven
Mercedes -Benz to continually reinvent the automobile — creating an
ongoing legacy of firsts that keep redefining the standard for all cars.
Among them, the 4 -wheel independent suspension 80 years ago. Fuel
injection and crumple zones in the 1950s. And in the last 20 years, the
Electronic Stability Program, side curtain air bags, and adaptive brakes.
Today, the Three -Pointed Star remains far more than a shining symbol
of Mercedes -Benz innovation. It's a guiding beacon for all automobiles.
