What was Mercedes-Benz called before?

[Alice]

Mercedes-Benz was formerly called Mercedes-Benz, a German automobile brand considered one of the world's most premium car brands, renowned for its perfect technical level, rigorous quality standards, innovative capabilities, and a series of classic coupe models. Internationally, the brand is commonly referred to as Mercedes, while in mainland China, it is called "Benz," in Taiwan, it is translated as "Benz," and in Hong Kong, it is translated as "Ping Zhi." The reason for the naming is as follows: In 1899, Emil Jellinek, the Austrian Consul General in Germany, ordered three Daimler Phoenix cars. He named them after his daughter's name, Mercedes, and drove them in the Nice Automobile Rally, winning the championship. Emil believed that his daughter's name brought good luck and suggested that Daimler adopt the name. Daimler also hoped that this Austrian nobleman would help it open the Austrian market, so it adopted the name. Unexpectedly, sales increased significantly. Later, the newly established Daimler-Benz company also named all its products Mercedes-Benz.
