Why Does the Mercedes-Benz Rear Emblem Flip Up?
1 Answers
Behind the emblem, a rearview camera for reversing is installed. Its technical name is the flip-up rear emblem. When the vehicle needs to reverse, the driver simply shifts into reverse gear, and the rear emblem automatically rotates and flips up, allowing the reversing camera to clearly capture the rear view. This seemingly small detail offers a novel experience to many who are unaware of it. Below is some related information: History of Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz was founded in 1926 by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Its predecessors were the Benz & Cie. and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, established in 1886. The two companies merged in 1926 to form Daimler-Benz AG. The Mercedes-Benz Logo: The Mercedes-Benz logo is a three-pointed star, symbolizing the ambition to dominate land, sea, and air. This emblem was created after the merger of Daimler and Benz. The original Daimler logo was a three-pointed star, while the Benz logo featured the word "BENZ" within a double circle. After the merger, the Daimler-Benz logo became a single three-pointed star within a circle. Making the three-pointed star shine globally has been Mercedes-Benz's dream for over a century and remains its relentless pursuit.
