The story of Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz § The German autoconcern, specializing on release of cars of a premium-class, lorries, buses and other vehicles. At present is concern "Daimler AG" affiliated company. The Headquarters is in Stuttgart. It is formed in 1871. In 2010 the brand is estimated in 25, 2 milliards dollars, keeping the second place at the price of the companies — manufacturers of cars.
BENZ § In 1886 the three-wheeled self-propelled vehicle with the petrol engine is created. Same year its founder — Charles Benz has taken out the patent for the invention. The first-ever three-wheeled car is ready and started in a batch production. § In seven years, having conceded to Daimler superiority, Charles Benz creates the four-wheel car, and next year even more perfect design under the strange name "Bicycle" goes to a series. § In 1901, soon after release by Daimler of new model "Mersedes-35 PS" becomes clear how much "Benz" lags behind progress. To make up for lost time, shareholders invite in the company of French engineer Mariusa Barbara. Because of technical disagreements Charles Benz leaves the company based by it. Soon it became visible, — the Frenchman hasn't justified the assigned hopes. Following logic that German cars should become German hands, in firm, on a post of the chief engineer, Frits Erle has been invited. Again hasn't carried. And only with arrival to the company of talented engineer Hans Nibelja of business gradually have gone uphill. In 1909, having created variety of fine cars firm has constructed the most known racing car of that time "Blittsen Benz" with the motor capacity of 200 h. p. and amazing volume 21594 см 3. § In post-war years the set of new models the majority from which with success were issued to the middle of the twentieth years has been created. In total from the moment of the manufacture beginning in 1886 and before association about "Daimler-motoren-gezellshaft" in 1926 firm "Benz" has made 47555 cars, including cars, trucks and omnibuses.
Daimler § In 1890 Gotlib Daimler, in small town Bud Kannshtat near to Stuttgart, has based the company of the name — "Daimler-motoren-gezellshaft", having decided to let out, created by four years earlier him and, taking active part, Wilhelm Majbahom the four-wheel car. After a number of not so successful attempts which nevertheless have found the enthusiastic buyers, the designer V. Majbahu in 1901 was possible manage the successful sample. On an insisting of the consul of Austro-Hungarian empire in Nice and, in combination, heads of representation "Daimler" in France Emilja Ellineka the car has been named by a name of the young and attractive daughter of the consul Mercedes. § First "Mersedes-35 PS" namely so it was called, possessed the four-cylinder motor in working volume of 5913 sm 3, a classical arrangement of the basic units and beautiful (for those times) appearance. A year later light has seen more perfect design under the name "Mercedes-simplex". The lineup has extended. The most known representatives of this series bore proud names "Mersedes-40/45 PS" and "Mersedes 65 PS" and engines in volume of 6785 sm 3 and, accordingly, 9235 sm 3, allowing to accelerate momentum to 90 km/h. § Before the First World War "Daimler-motoren-gezellshaft" has had time to let out a wide lineup of the cars with different engines (from 1568 sm 3 to 9575 sm 3) calculated on different consumers, including magnificent, almost silent cars, using engines without clapans made under the patent of American company "Knight". § Right after wars of Paul the Daimler starts to make experiments with the compressor allowing in one and a half time to raise capacity of the engine. Come on a post of the chief engineer in 1923 Ferdinand Porshe has finished experiments to logic end, having created in 1924 one of the most outstanding cars of the world — "Mersedes-24/100/140 PS" with the magnificent chassis and the six-cylinder compressor motor in volume of 6240 sm 3 and capacity of 100 -140 h. p. § By 1926 "Daimler-motoren-gezellshaft" has made at all factories in total 147961 car, and the maximum productivity has been reached in 1918. Despite all difficulties of this last military year then it was possible to make 24690 cars.
Connection of enemies § After merge in 1926 of firms Daimler and Benz new concern Daimler-Benz could make use effectively of experience and knowledge of designers of both companies in which head there was Ferdinand Porshe. It has completely updated the production program, taking for a basis latest models Daimler which was issued now under mark of Mercedes-Benz. "A compressor" series To, including model 24/110/160 PS with the 6 -cylinder motor in volume of 6240 sm 3 became the first new working out of Porsche in 1926. For the big capacity and speed (to 145 km/h) it have nicknamed «a deadly trap» , It became base for more known series S consisting of models S.
Mercedes Benz in the Second World War § During war Daimler-Benz let out both trucks, and cars of different classes. However, fortnight air bombardment by the Anglo-American Air Forces in September of 1944 year have transformed Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft into a heap of ruins. Major concern destruction were estimated on a miscellaneous, the main shop in Stuttgart has been destroyed on 70 %, impellent and body shops in Zindelfingene — 85 %, the shop of trucks in Gaggenau has been completely destroyed. To the former factory Benz und Cie in Manngejme has carried most — only 20 % of destruction, and the factory of diesel engines Berlin. Marienfeld bought Daimler’s in 1902, is completely compared to the earth. When destruction estimations were ready by January of 1945 year, the board of directors has decided that Daimler-Benz physically doesn't exist any more
The new beginning § On post-war restoration of the destroyed factories time, therefore automobile manufacture was required has been begun only in June, 1946. For working out of new cars wasn't neither technical base, nor the means, therefore sedan W 136 — « 170 V» became the first post-war car. Though the design has been developed still in the mid-thirties, the midget car with the motor of only 38 horsepowers became the beginning of a modern history of mark. Since May of 1949 year large modernization has been spent. The engine has been increased by 70 sm ³, (to 52 h. p. ; model « 170 S» ), there were variants in bodies a cabriolet and the versatile person (so-called cabriolets "And" and «B» ) and the main thing — models with diesel engines « 170 D» .
Progress on today § In 21 century Long-awaited replacement of SL-class R 230 in 2001 became the first model of a new millenium. The car as well as SLK had developing in a luggage carrier top. Version SL 55 AMG with 5, 5 liter engine V 8 with a supercharger capacity almost 500 h. p. became the most successful model, having provided the car with characteristics: dispersal (0 -100 km/h) 4, 5 with; and the maximum speed at terminator removal could reach 300 km/h. The car held some years a record as the fastest car with АКПП and this with the fact that SL 55 conceded models SL 65 AMG with V 12. In 2008 the car receives capital updating of registration of the forward part, new version AMG SL 63, and also on the basis of the car of safety of the Formula 1 a so-called spets-series «a black series» SL 65 AMG is created.
2002 § In the middle of 2002 there was new E-class W 211. In difference W 210 the car was more outwardly and internally (especially if to take into consideration that it is constructed under the same compact scheme as well as W 220 and W 203) and it is much more prestigious, the business class completely entered in definition. For example magnificent details as leather salon and wooden furnish of an interior earlier expensive option on W 211 was «in the standard» . As well as its predecessor the car was issued as well as a sedan and the versatile person, last largest for all history of mark. § Occurrences of such strong competitor has forced the company during updating of which W 220 th S-class passed simultaneously to return former glory to a leader including new more powerful V 12 for S 600.
again 2002… § In May, 2002 the premiere of new CLK-class W 209 has taken place. The car has even more strongly accepted a sporty coupe role (and also a cabriolet) and younger brother CL for example outwardly the star has moved on the lattice center. As well as its predecessor a body has been borrowed from W 203 a C-class but stylized under W 211 the Eclass. If W 208 has become famous for the spetsseries CLK-GTR that at W 209 th them there were two. AMG in 2003 year has let out a spets-series from 100 cars CLK-DTM which has been based on the racing DTM-VERSION, and in 2007 year there was so-called black series CLK 63 AMG as a basis for which the car of safety of the Formula 1 has served.
