Kereta sebenar pertama di dunia. Benz Velo 1894. Sejarah Daimler-Benz bermula seawal 1880-an apabila Karl Benz (1844–1929) dan Gottlieb Daimler (1834–1900), bekerja denganWilhelm Maybach (1846–1929), masing-masing mencipta kereta yang digerakkan enjin pembakaran dalaman di selatan Jerman. Walaupun mereka hanya dipisahkan jarak sejauh 60 batu, masing-masing tidak menyedari hasil kerja satu sama lain. Karl Benz mempunyai sebuah kedai di Mannheim dan mencipta kereta sebenar pertama yang digerakkan oleh enjin pembakaran dalaman pada 1885. Kereta beroda tiga tersebut dinamakan sebagai Benz Patent Motorwagen. Sementara itu pula, Gottlieb Daimler dan rakan rekabentuknya Maybach, mencipta prototaip bagi rekaan enjin petrol model, dikenali sebagai "enjin jam besar"(grandfather clock engine). Kedua-dua Benz dan Daimler membuka syarikat kereta masing- masing iaitu Benz & Cie. dan DMG tidak lama kemudian. Menjelang 1900, Benz & Cie. menjadi syarikat automotif terbesar di dunia. Pada tahun 1899, kereta DMG dijadikan kereta lumba oleh Emil Jellinek (1853-1918), seorang pengedar dan peminat automotif. Dalam perlumbaan, dia mengecat nama anak perempuannya, Mercedes, pada keretanya untuk mendatangkan tuah. Hasilnya, lahirlah model DMG tahun 1902 yang bakal menjadi siri kereta DMG Mercedes pertama iaitu Mercedes 35 hp. Jellinek juga turut diundang untuk menjadi ahli lembaga pengarah DMG dari tahun 1901 hingga 1909. Selain membawa tuah kepada Jellinek, nama Mercedes juga mula diguna pakai oleh DMG untuk mengelakkan daripada masalah perundangan memandangkan DMG menjual hak eksklusif bagi nama Daimler kepada sebuah syarikat asing setelah kematian Daimler pada tahun 1900. Hasilnya, jenama kereta mewah Daimler dibina di England dan bukannya di Jerman. Logo pertama Mercedes-Benz setelah penggabungan kedua-dua syarikat milik Daimler dan Benz pada tahun 1926 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK "Count Trossi" Pada tahun 1924, kedua-dua syarikat DMG dan Benz & Cie. yang sebelum ini bersaing sesama sendiri mula bekerjasama hasil kepentingan untuk memulihkan ekonomi Jerman yang lumpuh semasa Perang Dunia Pertama, dan akhirnya bergabung membentukDaimler-Benz AG pada tahun 1926. Penggabungan tersebut menyebabkan kereta keluaran kedua-dua syarikat tersebut dijenamakan semula sebagai Mercedes-Benz. Selain kereta, bas dan lori, Mercedes-Benz turut membina enjin bot dan kapal terbang, malah kapal udara Zeppelin juga. Karl Benz meninggal dunia pada 1929. Sungguhpun Mercedes-Benz amat terkenal dengan model-model kereta mewahnya, ia turut mengeluarkan model-model berprestasi tinggi serta model-model mampu milik seperti model A- Class. Di samping itu, sebuah anak syarikat Mercedes-Benz iaitu Smart turut menghasilkan kereta mampu milik seperti Smart ForTwo dan Smart ForFour. Sukan bermotor[sunting | sunting sumber] 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe Sebelum penggabungan pada 1926, kedua-dua syarikat pengasas telah pun menikmati kejayaan dalam bidang sukan bermotor. Oleh itu, sepanjang sejarah Mercedes-Benz, syarikat tersebut telah banyak terlibat dalam aktiviti sukan bermotor. Sungguhpun demikian, Mercedes-Benz pernah berundur sepenuhnya dalam arena sukan bermotor, terutamanya pada penghujung 1930-an dan selepas Bencana Le Mans 1955, di mana sebuah Mercedes-Benz 300SLR bertembung dengan sebuah kereta lain dan membunuh lebih 80 penonton. Hanya setelah lewat 1980-an barulah Mercedes-Benz kembali semula ke barisan hadapan persaingan - mula berlumba semula di dalam perlumbaan Le Mans serta menyertai lumba kereta bersama Sauber. Sebab utama Mercedes-Benz menyepi dari arena perlumbaan pada masa tersebut adalah kerana reputasinya sebagai pemimpin industri automotif dalam soal keselamatan kenderaan. Mercedes- Benz sering memperkenalkan inovasi keselamatan kenderaan seperti beg udara dan ABS serta turut melesenkannya kepada syarikat automotif lain. Dengan itu, Mercedes-Benz dilihat lebih mementingkan aspek keselamatan penumpang daripada keuntungan dan persaingan pasaran. Kini, Mercedes-Benz sedang bergiat aktif di dalam Formula 3, DTM dan Formula Satu. Semasa menyertai Formula 1, syarikat tersebut memiliki sebahagian Pasukan McLaren serta membekalkan enjin kepada pasukan tersebut sejak 1995. Perkongsian tersebut membawa kejayaan besar, termasuklah Kejuaraan Pemandu bagi Mika Hakkinen pada tahun 1998 dan 1999 serta Kejuaraan Pembina pada 1998. Usaha sama turut dipergiat dalam penghasilan kereta jalanan seperti Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Pengilangan[sunting | sunting sumber] Selain Jerman, Mercedes-Benz turut dikilangkan atau dipasang di:- Afrika Selatan [1] Thailand [2] Malaysia [3] Amerika Syarikat [4] Argentina [5] (Kilang Mercedes-Benz pertama di luar Jerman) Brazil [6] India [7] Nigeria [8] United Kingdom (model supercar SLR dibina di Pusat Teknologi McLaren di Woking) Mesir [9] Austria (G-Class) [10] China Turki [11] Korea Selatan (model Musso dan MB100 yang menggunakan jenama Mercedes dikilangkan oleh Ssangyong Motor Company) Model[sunting | sunting sumber] Lihat juga: Senarai kereta Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback → Mercedes-Benz A-Class B-Class Sports Tourer/Hatchback → Mercedes-Benz B-Class C-Class Sedan, Sports Coupe & Wagon → Mercedes-Benz C-Class CL-Class Coupe → Mercedes-Benz CL-Class CLK-Class Coupe & Convertible → Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLS-Class "Coupe" ("Coupe 4 Pintu" pertama di dunia) → Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class E-Class Sedan & Wagon → Mercedes-Benz E-Class G-Class SUV → Mercedes-Benz G-Class GL-Class SUV → Mercedes-Benz GL-Class M-Class SUV → Mercedes-Benz M-Class R-Class Sports Tourer/"SUV" → Mercedes-Benz R-Class S-Class Sedan → Mercedes-Benz S-Class SL-Class Roadster → Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SLK-Class Roadster → Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLR-McLaren Coupe Prestasi → Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Penamaan model[sunting | sunting sumber] Sebelum tahun 1994, Mercedes-Benz menggunakan format lama penamaan model. Contohnya, bagi model 500E, 3 angka menandakan saiz sesaran enjin (bagi model ini: 5.5L) dan huruf terakhir menandakan jenis enjin atau kerangka, misalnya "E" bagi model suntikan bahan api ("Einspritzung" dalam bahasa Jerman), "D" untuk Diesel, "L" untuk Tapak Roda Panjang, dsb. Pada tahun 1994, sistem penamaan tersebut diubah untuk membolehkan Mercedes-Benz mengkelaskan model mereka, dimulai dengan imbuhan awal huruf kelas dan diikuti dengan 3 angka sesaran. Namun demikian, sesetengah model baru masih mempunyai imbuhan akhir huruf untuk ciri spesifik, seperti "L" untuk Tapak Roda Panjang dan "CDI" untuk enjin diesel Suntikan Terus Rel Sepunya (Commonrail Direct Injection). Dengan ini, model 500E di atas akan dikenali sebagai E500 (E-Class, sesaran enjin 5 liter). Harus diingat, bagi sistem lama, 3 angka sesaran sememangnya menunjukkan sesaran enjin yang sebenar, tetapi bagi sistem baru pula angka-angka tersebut tidak semestinya menunjukkan sesaran sebenar - misalnya, kedua-dua model E200 CDI dan E220 CDI sebenarnya menggunakan enjin yang sama iaitu 2.2L, dan model C240 sebenarnya menggunakan enjin 2.6L. Selain itu, terdapat perbezaan besar bagi kuasa kuda (dan harga) bagi kereta yang mempunyai nombor enjin yang sama tetapi kelas yang berbeza, seperti antara C55 dan SL55. Kenderaan komersial[sunting | sunting sumber] Mercedes-Benz turut membina van, bas dan lori bagi kegunaan komersial. Mercedes-Benz adalah pengeluar kenderaan berat terbesar di dunia. Penala[sunting | sunting sumber] Selain terkenal sebagai jenama kereta mewah, kereta Mercedes-Benz juga popular khususnya di Eropah sebagai kereta berprestasi tinggi. Hasilnya, muncullah banyak syarikat penala yang mengubahsuai kereta=kereta tersebut, menjadikan kereta-kereta tersebut lebih berkuasa dan lebih mewah. AMG adalah anak syarikat Mercedes-Benz sejak 1999 yang menjadi syarikat penala rasminya. AMG menala versi-versi berprestasi tertinggi bagi hampir setiap kelas model (dikenali dengan imbuhan AMG di belakang nama model). Setiap enjin AMG adalah buatan tangan dan enjin yang siap akan ditandatangani oleh jurutera yang membinanya. Penala lain[sunting | sunting sumber] Brabus Lorinser Carlsson Kleemann RENNtech Kicherer Inovasi[sunting | sunting sumber] Pembinaan Sel Keselamatan atau Sangkar Keselamatan dengan zon remukan hadapan dan belakang mula dibangunkan oleh Mercedes-Benz pada tahun 1951. Sistem brek cegah kunci (ABS), beg udara dan kawalan cengkaman yang kini menjadi piawaian kereta-kereta buatan Eropah adalah hasil inovasi oleh Mercedes-Benz. Pada September 2003, Mercedes-Benz memperkenalkan kotak gear automatik 7G- TRONIC dengan bilangan gear terbanyak pada masa itu iaitu 7 kelajuan. Sistem pra-perlanggaran Mercedes-Benz menggunakan

  • Mercedes-Benz Chairman Dieter Zetsche Sees a Future for the Auto Industry of 'Endless Possibilities'
    Mercedes-Benz Chairman Dieter Zetsche Sees a Future for the Auto Industry of 'Endless Possibilities' Dr. Dieter Zetsche Chairman of the Board of Management, Daimler AG Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars Division November 5, 2015 Excerpts from Dr. Zetsche's Remarks On the state of the U.S. economy: It’s funny: For decades, people have predicted the downfall of the American economy. In the ’80s, many feared that Japan would soon be the leading economy in the world. In the 2000s, they say the same thing about China. Yet, despite all of those bleak predictions, the U.S. continues to be the locomotive of the world economy. On German hardware: German hardware is just as exciting as American software. On electric cars: Five years ago most people assumed that virtually every auto manufacturer in the world would mostly sell electric vehicles. Today, five years later, we know high purchase prices, cheap gas, range anxiety, a limited number of charging stations – these and many other factors slowed down the rise of electric mobility. Plus to this day, no manufacturer has actually made money on electric vehicles. Daimler was and I think still is the first exception, because we sold our stake in Tesla with a $750 million gain. [Laughter.] On learning cars: Our long-term vision is a learning car that progressively tailors itself to the driver. And that’s important because the more functions the car is equipped with, the more complex it becomes. On car sharing: Daimler is the first auto manufacturer in the car-sharing business. When we launched our service Car2Go, many people thought it was crazy to share cars instead of selling them.

  • Polishing the Star
    Polishing the INTERVIEW WITH DAIMLER’S DIETER ZETSCHE Star EIN INTERVIEW MIT DAIMLER-CHEF DIETER ZETSCHE rom his first days of prominence during the “merger of equals” be- Ftween Chrysler Corporation and the former Daimler-Benz AG in 1998 — a $36-bil- lion acquisition, more accurately, of the former by the latter — Dieter Zetsche put the global auto industry on notice that he stood apart from Germany’s executive ranks. Born in Turkey of German parents, he grew up near Frankfurt and graduated as an electrical engineer from University of Karl- sruhe in 1976. He was awarded his doctorate in mechanical engineering in 1982 from the University of Paderborn, having already been employed as an engineer for what was then called Daimler-Benz, the world’s oldest maker of vehicles. He rapidly advanced through a series of engineering and leadership posts, in- cluding stints in Brazil and Argentina. His first U.S. assignment was to run the company’s maker of heavy trucks, Freightliner. Assigned by Daimler chief executive Der Stern Juergen E. Schrempp to integrate Chrysler’s U.S. operations into the new DaimlerChrysler, Zetsche proved to be anything but the ste- reotypical rigid, micromanaging overlord wird poliert from Stuttgart.

Accordingly, further growth is expected in revenue and EBIT from the ongoing business. “2015 was a good year for Daimler,” stated Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, upon opening the 2016 Annual Press Conference. “We know from experience: Getting to the top is hard, but staying at the top is even harder.
