Starting from today, we will open a long series of popular science to briefly talk about the famous automobile brands and history in the development of automobile history. Some brands still exist from the beginning to the present and are still producing cars for consumers. However, some brands have disappeared in the long river of history.
As an introduction, I'm going to start with my own brand that is very popular at present. However, since it is history, let's start with the first brand and explain the others one by one when we have the opportunity. If there are any brands that everyone is interested in, you can leave me a message. If the voice is high, you can jump the queue in advance.
Mercedes-Benz is just an abbreviation, the full name is Mercedes-Benz, and the early Mercedes-Benz was merged from Mercedes-Benz and Daimler. As the parent company, Daimler is also a behemoth. We'll talk slowly when we have a chance.

From then on, all the cars they produced were called Mercedes-Benz.
Then someone will ask, where did this Mercedes come from? In fact, in 190 1 year, an Austrian businessman named the car after his daughter Mercedes when he customized the high-performance racing car. Moreover, in order to open the Austrian market, Daimler adopted this name, just as many brands currently use traditional China design elements or have a name with a very domestic style. Then this 35-horsepower Mercedes-Benz won the Nice-Latubi Mountain Climbing Championship. This name continues to this day.
After the merger of the two companies, they started their performance. 1934, the company built a limousine for Hitler, which was the first bulletproof car in the world.
