Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz is a German global automobile marque and a division of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, renowned for producing luxury vehicles and commercial vehicles. The brand's origins date back to the late 19th century when Karl Benz invented the first gasoline-powered automobile in 1886, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. In 1926, Benz & Cie. and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft merged to form Daimler-Benz AG, leading to the creation of the Mercedes-Benz brand. The company has since become synonymous with automotive innovation, quality, and engineering excellence.

Over the years, Mercedes-Benz has introduced numerous technological advancements, including the development of the internal combustion engine, safety innovations like crumple zones and anti-lock braking systems, and pioneering work in autonomous driving technologies. The company's product lineup is diverse, ranging from compact cars and luxury sedans to SUVs, trucks, and buses. Mercedes-Benz also has a strong presence in motorsports, particularly Formula 1, where it has achieved significant success with its Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.

In recent years, Mercedes-Benz has significantly expanded its electric vehicle (EV) offerings under the EQ sub-brand. The company has launched several all-electric models, including the EQC SUV, the EQA compact SUV, the EQB, and the flagship EQS luxury sedan. Mercedes-Benz plans to electrify its entire portfolio by offering electric alternatives for all its models and aims to be fully electric by 2030 where market conditions allow. The company is investing heavily in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and sustainability initiatives to facilitate this transition toward electric mobility.
