Brand History Mercedes - Benz

Mercedes Benz - German manufacturer of luxury cars, buses and trucks. Mark is currently the division's parent company, Daimler AG (before Daimler Chrysler AG). The history of trademark Mercedes - Benz begins after the first gasoline powered car Karl Benz. Mercedes-Benz also produces buses, mainly for Europe and Asia. Mercedes-Benz produces a range of vans. The first factory to be built outside Germany after WWII was in Argentina. It originally built trucks, many of which have been changed, and called Colectivo. Today, it builds buses, Trucks and the van Sprinter.

Mercedes-Benz has also produced a limited production sports car with McLaren Cars, an extension of cooperation that drives the Mercedes racing team used McLaren-Mercedes Formula One, a team that is part owned by Mercedes. In 2003, Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, and produced a carbon shell with a 5.4-liter V8. It's - the same engine block as shown in the SL55 AMG and the CLS55 AMG, though slightly modified to develop a 780 Newton meters of torque. SLR has a maximum speed of 337 kilometers per hour and costs about $ 500,000. Due to European laws on the protection of pedestrians, McClaren has decided to cease production of SLR in 2009. In 1994 (beginning with 1994 models), the traditional specification of vehicles Mercedes-Benz changed. From the earliest years of the company name would be in the form of (eg) 500E, where the engine displacement was the first three numbers, and the last letter represents the type of engine and / or chassis, for example: E for fuel injection (German: Einspritzung), D for Diesel, L for a long wheel base, and so on. In 1994 it was changed to reflect the attachment model, or class, German: Klasse, in the terminology of the Mercedes-Benz, and the number for the cylinder capacity. The suffix was retained in some cases such as L for long wheelbase, and D for Diesel. Thus, 500E in the example was the E500 ("E-Klasse", 5-liter vehicle). It should also be noted that, before the model number reflect the actual cylinder capacity engine, it is now not always: for example the name of the E200 and E220, in fact, both have 2.2-liter engine, and C240 ??actually has a 2.6-liter engine. So it's not entirely true. In 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz showed seven hybrid models, including a concept car F700 - which combined hybrid drive with an innovative engine DiesOtto. On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz says it will have a demonstration of practical, fuel-efficient electric vehicles on the road in two - three years, starting in 2008 . Mercedes-Benz S 400 Blue HYBRID will be made in 2009, and will be the first hybrid car produced in the world, using a lithium-ion battery. In 2009, a hybrid saloon S400 projected to go on sale. Cars Mercedes-Benz Blue ZERO were presented in 2009 at the North American International Auto Show. Mercedes showed the 2009 car S500 - Gasoline concept car with 31-mile, all-electric range selection CO2: 74 grams per kilometer. Mercedes-Benz Accessories has produced three new bike in 2005, the names : automatic bicycle valued at $ 2,699, mountain biking cost from $ 5,399 (these are the retail prices registered after the immediate release date). bicycles sold in Australia, Germany, and Russia. List of bike: Mercedes-Benz Automatic Bike Mercedes-Benz Carbon Bike Mercedes-Benz Fitness Bike Mercedes-Benz Hybrid Bike Mercedes-Benz Mountain Bike Mercedes-Benz Street Bike Two companies that have merged to form Mercedes-Benz in 1926, both already enjoyed success in the new motor sports, racing around on their individual stories. The company was involved in a range of motorsport, including races sports cars. Several times a Mercedes-Benz completely left out of motorsport for some time, especially in the late 1930's, and after the 1955 Le Mans disaster, where Mercedes- Benz 300SLR collided with another car, then flew uncontrolled cars in the audience, which killed about 80 people. In 1987, Mercedes-Benz returned to compete at Le Mans, German Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM), and Formula 1 with Sauber. the 1990's have seen the Mercedes-Benz bought the British machine builder Ilmora (now Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines), and the company IndyCars according to the rules USAC / CART, ultimately wins the IndyCar Series Championship with Al Unserom, the youngest in the team. the 1990's showed the return of Mercedes-Benz race-GT, and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, both of which raised the company to new heights, dominating the class of FIA GT1. Mercedes-Benz is currently participates in three sports: motorsport, Formula Three, DTM and Formula 1. Mercedes-Benz has taken part in world championships in 1954 and 1955, but despite the fact that the successful performance of Juan Manuel Fanjoy, the company would still leave sport after two seasons. Mercedes-Benz returned as machine supplier in the 1990's and the team on the rights of partial ownership McLaren for several years, supplied the engines designed by Ilmor in 1995. This partnership has brought success, including the drivers championship for Mika Hakkinen in 1998 and 1999, and for Lewis Hamilton in 2008 , as well as the constructors championship in 1998. Cooperation with McLaren has been extended to production cars such as Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. In 2007, McLaren and Mercedes have been fined a record $ 100 million for the theft of confidential data manufacturer Ferrari. In 2009 year, a new team of Formula 1 Ross Bron, GP Muscle Mercedes engines used to help win the constructors championship to become a champion in the championship of the pilots F1. At the end of the season, Mercedes-Benz has sold back its 40% stake in McLaren Group McLaren, and bought 70% of team GP Muscle, they together with the Abu Dubai have based investment consortium. GP muscle was renamed GP Mercedes in 2010. AMG - internal performance tuning division of Mercedes-Benz, which specializes in high-performance versions of most Mercedes-Benz. Engines AMG all built by hand, and each completed engine receives a guarantee signed by the engineer who built it. AMG wholly owned by Mercedes-Benz since 1999. In 2009 at the IAA in Frankfurt, Germany, Mercedes has officially introduced the SLS AMG, revival 300SL Gullwing, and the first car, which will be developed subdivision AMG. tuners Independent: Brabus Carlsson Kicherer Klimenn Lorinser Renntech MKB Liquid MotorUnion Numerous technological innovations were introduced to the Mercedes-Benz for many years, their production, including: an internal combustion engined, the car was developed independently from Benz and Daimler & Maybach in 1886. Daimler invented a honeycomb type radiator, which is still used on all water-cooled vehicles. Daimler invented the carburetor float that was used has not yet invented fuel injection system. The first passenger car, which will have brakes on all four wheels (made in 1924). "protective frame" or "design" safety cell with front and rear crumple zones were first developed by Mercedes-Benz in 1951. This is seen by many as the most important innovation in automotive design from the standpoint of security. 1959 Mercedes-Benz patented a device that prevents the drive wheels spin. In 1987, Mercedes-Benz applied its patent by introducing the traction control system that worked and under braking and acceleration. traction control and airbags in the European market, were an innovation of Mercedes-Benz. These technologies have been introduced in 1986. Mercedes-Benz was the first manufacturer who made the preliminary arrangements belt pretensioners in 1981 on the S-class. In the event of a collision pre-tensioner will tighten the belt instantaneously, removing any slack in the belt, which prevents the driver or passenger leaned forward in a collision. In September 2003, Mercedes-Benz produced the first automatic transmission with seven speeds in the world on behalf of the 7G-Tronic. Electronic Stability Program, Power Brakes, and many other types of safety equipment were all invented, tested and implemented in the Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz conceal his innovation, and even licensed them for use by competitors - in the name of improving automobile and passenger safety. As a result, crumple zones and anti-lock brakes ( ABS) are now standard on all modern vehicles. The most powerful naturally eight cylinder engine in the world is the Mercedes-AMG, 6208 cc M156 engine V8. V8 engine under the brand name 63 AMG, and replaced the 55 AMG engine M113, in most models. ( W211) E320, the engine has a variable geometry turbocharger (VTG) 3.0-liter V6 common diesel engine (producing 224 horsepower), set three world records in life. Passing 160 000 km in record time, with an average speed of 224,823 kilometers per hour . Mercedes Benz led the system to detect the inevitable clash - ensuring the readiness of car protection. Thanks to what is calculated optimal braking force required to avoid an accident in an emergency, and immediately activated when the efforts of the driver on the brake pedal is waning. Mercedes Benz has developed a system Detection of fatigue, which warns the driver when it shows signs of mikrosna. The system will use a variety of data, including individual driving style, trip duration, time of day and current traffic conditions. Tired mostly gradually begins. Half a century, various innovations vehicle safety helped win Mercedes Benz reward security in 2007. In the 1980's, Mercedes built the first car to a robot in the world, along with a team of Professor Ernst Dikmannsa in Bandesvehre University Myunkene. Dikmennsa partly spurred by success, in 1987, the European Union EUREKA announces the beginning of Project Prometheus to autonomous vehicles, funded almost 800 million euros. Item climax was reached in 1995, when the re-engineered autonomous S-Class Mercedes Dikmennsa took a long trip from Munich in Bavaria to Copenhagen in Denmark, and back. On the highway, the robot has reached speeds of 175 kilometers per hour (allowed in some areas of the German Autobahn). Abilities Car heavily influenced the decisions of research and funding of a robot vehicle around the world.
