Mercedes-Benz

The history of Mercedes-Benz dates back to 1885, when Gottlieb Daimler, together with Wilhelm Maybach, patented a four-stroke engine, just as Karl Benz was developing the single-cylinder engine, also called a four-stroke, and founding the &# 34;Benz & Co". A year later, in 1886 the Daimler - Motoren - Gesellschaft (DMG) manufactured its first vehicle.
