[SanAdalynn]

The history of Mercedes-Benz is as follows: The origin of Mercedes-Benz: On January 29, 1886, Karl Benz, the founder of Benz & Cie., invented his first gasoline-powered three-wheeled vehicle and patented it, marking the birth of the automobile. In the same year, Gottlieb Daimler also test-drove his first four-wheeled gasoline-powered car. Later, in recognition of their contributions, they were honored as the "Fathers of the Automobile," and January 29 was designated as the birthday of the world automobile. The origin of the name Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes was the name of the beautiful daughter of Emil Jellinek, a dealer of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. After the name change, car sales increased significantly, so after the merger of Daimler and Benz, the name "Mercedes-Benz" was adopted. The origin of the Mercedes-Benz logo: In its early years, Benz used a logo with "BENZ" surrounded by wheat ears. After the merger, a logo with a three-pointed star, wheat ears, and "Mercedes-Benz" was adopted. Later, the wheat ears were replaced by a circle, and the English name was removed, evolving into the current logo.
