Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks.
Mercedes-Benz is a division of its parent company, Daimler AG. Mercedes-Benz
traces its origins to Karl Benz's creation of the first petrol-powered car, the
Benz Patent Motorwagen, patented in January 1886 and Gottlieb Daimler and engineer
Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol engine
later that year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler
Motoren Gesellschaft. The first Mercedes-Benz brand name vehicles were produced
in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's companies
into the Daimler-Benz company
