Mercedes Benz
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The history of Mercedes Benz (Daimler Benz), now Daimler Chrysler, is long and storied. Its scope and depth cannot fully be covered in the space allotted here. However, by tracing some of the significant aspects of the company throughout its history, one gets a taste of the significance of the company basically responsible for the production of the world’s first automobiles. Three inventors were basically responsible for what would become the Mercedes Benz company, Karl Benz, Wilhelm Maybach, and Gottlieb Daimler. The automobile manufactured by Daimler Benz did not spring to life fully made, like oatmeal from a box of instant mix.

In 1883 Benz and Co. was founded, the same year that Gottlieb Daimler protects his “Gas Engine with Hot Tube Ignition” and the “Regulation of Speed of the Engine through Control of the Exhaust Valve” inventions with patents. The two inventions together basically for the basis for the first internal combustion engine (Steinwedel 1).Less than sixty miles away from Daimler, Karl Benz was simultaneously working on building the automobile through the use of internal combustion engines. Daimler was a master engineer whose philosophy that “each new car should be technically superior to its predecessor” was reinforced by his association with ano

f groceries. At the time there were almost ninety automobile manufacturers in Germany and competition was intense from rivals like Porsche. Informally, Daimler and Benz had been associated during the early 1920s, but by 1926, they realized cooperation and alliance were the best method of remaining competitive “The two companies…formed a new company on the 28th/29th of June, 1926, to form a new company called Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft. The Mercedes three pointed star and Benz laurel wreath were also amalgamated to form the present Mercedes-Benz insignia” (Steinwedel 91).
During the 1930s and 1940s production suffered because of World War II and its after affects, but the military appropriated a large part of production. By the mid-1940s, less than 600 cars were built in a two year time period (Steinwedel 159). However, the 1950s were among the proudest and most productive in all of Daimler-Benz history. It continued its outstanding series of Grand Touring cars and dominated Grand Prix sports racing. It entered the 1960s able to boast the most technically superior motor cars in the world. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SE of the 1960s had the following characteristics “Light-metal fuel injection engine, air suspension, autom
