Evaluation of Mercedes-Benz cars by Mercedes-Benz executives

Mercedes-Benz is not a high-end car, but is durable and has high performance The best practical car in the first class.

Historical introduction

More than a hundred years have passed since Mercedes-Benz built the first world-recognized car, and cars have already gone through a long period of time. His 100th birthday. In the past 100 years, with the vigorous development of the automobile industry, many automobile manufacturers have emerged, some of which were prominent for a while, but in the end they were just short-lived. So far, there are only three or four stores that have survived through ups and downs, and there is only one century-old store, the Mercedes-Benz Company.

Current situation of Benz

Today, Mercedes-Benz has become the largest automobile company in Germany. Although Volkswagen continues to work hard, it still cannot surpass Mercedes-Benz and ranks second. Among the 100 largest companies in Europe, Mercedes-Benz ranks fourth (Volkswagen is fifth and Fiat is sixth). Among the world's 500 largest industrial companies published by the American "Happiness" magazine, Mercedes-Benz ranks tenth and is the largest in the world. Among automobile industry companies, Mercedes-Benz ranks fourth after General Motors, Ford of the United States, and Toyota of Japan. This series of figures illustrates the strength and status of Mercedes-Benz in the global automobile industry, especially after a century of development. It is even more amazing that the company can still maintain strong vitality despite the storm. In recent years, due to the weak economy, other large companies have suffered losses year after year, and even had to embark on the road of mergers and acquisitions. However, Mercedes-Benz is not only profitable, but also has the stability of its profits. Also higher. This avoids the road of mergers and acquisitions, thereby maintaining the independence of Mercedes-Benz's world's number one brand. Doing this is not a piece of cake. In addition to the appeal of a world-renowned brand, the real magic weapon is its guarantee of high quality. Quality is the key to success. This is Mercedes-Benz’s century-old commitment and the true connotation of the shining three-pointed star. Today, Mercedes-Benz cars have become a symbol of high quality, high grade and status. Not only has it become a must-have prop for celebrities, many countries have even adopted Mercedes-Benz as the standard vehicle for diplomatic use. "Mercedes-Benz" has become a veritable famous brand.

Mercedes-Benz has assets of more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, annual net profit of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and approximately 400,000 employees. Mercedes-Benz has an annual output of one million cars, of which only 55 cars are produced in a limited edition. It is to ensure high quality and the purpose of "rare things are valuable". Mercedes-Benz Cars is headquartered in Stuttgart, with large and comprehensive reception facilities at the headquarters. Small but refined Mercedes-Benz cars are always in short supply, so when ordering a car, they often have to wait for several months. After receiving the delivery notice, buyers come to the reception desk of the Mercedes-Benz company in batches, where they are treated by the real "God" Not only are they provided with accommodation and hospitality, they can also work in small groups, and a dedicated receptionist will guide the tour. First, watch a video introducing the company, and then watch every process of car assembly. On the assembly line, every car is Marked with the buyer's name, body color and interior trim, etc. They are all assembled in strict accordance with the model selected by the buyer. "Personalization" is clearly reflected in every Mercedes-Benz car. No car on the assembly line is exactly the same. Meeting every customer's requirement is the eternal standard of Mercedes-Benz. Therefore, every buyer of Mercedes-Benz can drive the car of their own heart and experience the feeling of "God" After the first car was sold, the metropolitan file was kept, so when I bought a Mercedes-Benz, I became a member of the Mercedes-Benz family and could receive meticulous and comprehensive services. Mercedes-Benz has 1,700 repair stations in West Germany alone. There are more than 50,000 people engaged in maintenance and repair work on the highway. On average, there is a Mercedes-Benz repair shop every 25 kilometers. The buyer just drives the car. Once a breakdown occurs, just make a phone call and the maintenance station will come to deal with it in less than half an hour. The superiority of the "Mercedes-Benz family" is reflected in its thoughtful after-sales service and lifetime warranty. It has more than 4,300 repair points not only in Germany, but also in 171 countries and regions around the world, employing more than 70,000 people. High credibility is the treasure contained in this century-old store "Mercedes-Benz".

"Exquisite, reliable and durable" is the purpose of Mercedes-Benz cars. In order to maintain high quality and develop new technologies, Mercedes-Benz invests up to US$400 million in scientific research and development expenses every year. The shape is exquisite, and it is constantly updated with the traditional and smooth characteristics of Mercedes-Benz itself. At first glance, you can feel that this is a "Mercedes-Benz". It was the first to develop and apply gasoline injection.

Taking the lead in car electronics. Mercedes-Benz was also the first to use diesel engines in high-end cars. The racing cars it produced have won more than 4,000 championships in the history of racing. Racing cars are often the "test field" for the creation of new automotive technologies. Every year, more than one hundred complete vehicles are used for various reliability tests such as safety collisions. Generally, cars tend to be scrapped after traveling for 100,000 kilometers. It is not uncommon for Mercedes-Benz vehicles to maintain good performance after traveling for 300,000 kilometers. Rigorous manufacturing and excellent material selection are the basis for the reliability and durability of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Riding a Mercedes-Benz also gives people special enjoyment in terms of safety and reliability. Although Mercedes-Benz cars are much more expensive than similar cars, they are reliable and durable. Maintenance and repair costs are much lower than other cars, so going to Mercedes-Benz is actually very cost-effective, not to mention that you also get the reputation of "the world's number one brand".

"Mercedes-Benz" has come a long way Over the course of a hundred years, "Mercedes-Benz" has accompanied the birth of the car until today. With its infinite vitality, "Mercedes-Benz" is sprinting in today's strong car forest and running in the long distance of cars. Let "Mercedes-Benz" continue to run. Where is the pace? May it stay young forever.

Today, enterprises play an increasingly important role in all aspects of life in different regions, countries, and even the entire world. Promoting global exchanges of public welfare undertakings and sports culture is not only a display of corporate brand connotation, but also a social responsibility of corporate citizens. As one of the world's top luxury car brands, Mercedes-Benz is undoubtedly one of the best, and this is also deeply reflected in the Chinese market. Since entering the Chinese market, Mercedes-Benz has continuously introduced new models and improved service levels. It has also actively participated in many social welfare undertakings in various ways (such as sponsoring Chinese education, supporting sports for people with disabilities, etc.). Always fulfill the obligations of a good corporate citizen.

As early as 1997, based on the idea that "children are the future of the country," Mercedes-Benz cooperated with UNESCO to fund the construction of a new classroom for the "Wolong Primary School" in a remote mountain village southwest of Beijing. It continues to this day. In order to ensure that more children can continue to complete their studies, Mercedes-Benz has made long-term donations to "Wolong Primary School". At the same time, as a initiator and sponsor, with the strong support of Mercedes-Benz and the joint efforts of celebrities from all walks of life, the internationally renowned Lawrence Sports Foundation settled in China in January 2002 and launched a charity Action plan aimed at supporting the sports career of disabled people in China.

Introduction to the founder of Mercedes-Benz:

Gottlieb Daimler (1834-1900), a German engineer and inventor, is one of the pioneers of the modern automobile industry. Born on March 17, 1834 in Sch?ndorf am Rems, Württemberg, Germany, into a family of handicraft workers. His father was a bakery owner. In 1852, he enrolled at the Engineering Academy in Stuttgart. Daimler had a keen interest in gas engines when he was a boy, and began to learn to develop Otto gas engines. He served as an engineer at Deutz Gas Engine AG, improved the Otto four-stroke engine, manufactured Daimler horizontal engines, and transformed the horizontal engine into a vertical engine. In 1872, Daimler designed a four-stroke engine. In 1883, he collaborated with his friend, the famous inventor Wilhelm Maybach, and successfully developed an engine that used gasoline. On August 29, 1885, Daimler installed this engine on a wooden two-wheeled vehicle and obtained the patent for the "riding two-wheeled vehicle". This was actually the world's first motorcycle. In order to celebrate his wife Emma's 43rd birthday, he installed a vertical engine on a carriage, and Daimler's first carriage-style car was born. This is indistinguishable from the birth of Benz's patent car. Together with Benz, he is known as the "Father of the Automobile". The world-famous Daimler-Benz company is named after them.

Carl Benz [carl.benz]: Carl Friedrich Benz (1844-1929), one of the founders of the famous German Daimler-Benz automobile company 1. One of the pioneers of the modern automobile industry, known as the "Father of the Automobile". Benz was born as a posthumous son in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1844. His father was originally a train driver, but he died in an accident in 1843 before he was born. Benz has had a strong interest in natural science since middle school. He studied at Karlsruhe Academy of Arts and Sciences and Karlsruhe University of Technology. During this period, he systematically studied courses such as mechanical structure, mechanical principles, engine manufacturing, and economic accounting of machinery manufacturing, which laid a good foundation for future development. After experiencing life experiences such as apprenticeship, military service, marrying a wife and having children, Benz cooperated with August Ritter in 1872 to establish the "Benz Iron Foundry Company and Machinery Workshop", specializing in the production of construction equipment. Material. Due to the sluggish construction industry at that time, Benz's factory was in difficulty and faced the danger of bankruptcy. When he was helpless, he decided to make high profits by manufacturing engines to get out of the predicament. Therefore, he obtained a business license to produce Otto four-stroke gas engines. After more than a year of design and trial production, he produced the first single-cylinder gas engine on December 31, 1879 (the speed was 200 rpm, Power is approximately 0.7 kW). However, this engine did not help Mercedes-Benz escape from financial difficulties. He still faced the danger of bankruptcy and lived a very difficult life. However, the poor life did not change Benz's determination to devote himself to engine research. After years of hard work, on January 29, 1886, Carl Benz invented the first horseless tricycle. The car is now preserved in Munich. museum. Mercedes-Benz Motor Company obtained the 'automobile manufacturing patent', and it was this day that was recognized as the car's birthday. In 1893, Benz successfully developed the "Victor Dea" brand car with advanced performance. It uses Benz's patented 3-liter engine, and the steering wheel is installed in the middle of the car. Although the car has advanced performance, because the price is as high as 3875 marks, few people can afford it and it has become a slow-selling product of the company. This kind of car, which brought Mercedes-Benz a high honor technically, did not bring him much benefit economically. Later, Benz followed the businessman's advice and developed and produced a cheap "bicycle" in 1894 (priced at 2,000 marks). This "bicycle" sold very well, with 125 units sold within a year. Because it was the world's first mass-produced motor vehicle, it brought high profits to Mercedes-Benz.

Later, Mercedes-Benz improved the early-production 'Victoria' brand car and designed 18 compartment seats to face each other, thus becoming the world's first public car. In the process of inventing the automobile, Carl Benz's courage was very admirable: first, he was willing to work hard and immerse himself in his invention; second, he boldly abandoned the technically mature steam engine and chose his own The power of the internal combustion engine, which was not favored by others, reflected a huge change in his concept. Thirdly, he can not only develop and produce "high-end cars" that reflect the highest level of automotive technology, but also timely adjust the product structure and organize the production of marketable "ordinary cars", earning considerable profits for the company, which shows that he has the basic skills of an engineer. quality and entrepreneurial business skills. The origin of the Mercedes-Benz logo: In June 1909, Daimler applied to register the three-pointed star as the logo of the car, symbolizing mechanization on land, water and air. In 1916, a circle was added around it, with 4 small stars inlaid on top of the circle, and the words "Mercedes" below. "Mercedes" means happiness, which means that the cars produced by Daimler will bring happiness to their owners. Daimler applied for a patent for the Samsung logo in 1909, but Benz was a circular badge. The Mercedes-Benz logo comes from a letter Daimler wrote to his wife. He believed that the star he painted on his house would bring him good luck. The three-pointed star also symbolized the three directions of the Mercedes-Benz car company: sea, land and air. develop. In 1909, in order to commemorate the mass production of his VELO car, Mr. Daimler changed the gear pattern in the three-pointed star to a laurel branch to show victory, and the "Mesdes" in the logo was taken from Emile The name of Jelinek's beautiful daughter. (Jellinek was the company's main investor at the time, the Austrian consul in Nice, France, and an enthusiastic supporter of Daimler.) "Mercedes" has a lucky meaning in Spanish. It is a pity that this beauty died in She died in an unhappy marriage at the age of forty, but the practice of naming her spread like wildfire. By 1916, the star-shaped logo and the Mercedes-Benz name finally merged into one. With the merger of the two oldest automobile manufacturers, the manufacturer once again applied for patent rights for the trademark, and the star in the ring The logo evolved into today's pattern, which is still in use today. And become one of the top ten famous trademarks in the world.

Wilhelm Maybach: One of the three main founders of Daimler-Benz (the predecessor of Mercedes-Benz) and the world's first Mercedes-Benz One of the inventors of the Mercedes-Benz automobile. The biggest legend in his life is that he created two world-famous luxury brands: Mercedes and Maybach. He performed his own glory in different fields of luxury cars. Wilhelm Maybach was born in Heilbronn, Germany on February 9, 1846, and his family later moved to Stuttgart. When William Maybach was 10 years old, his parents died one after another, leaving him an orphan. Fortunately, when Wilhelm Maybach was facing difficulties in life, a charity saw an adoption notice in the Stuttgarter Anzeiger newspaper and agreed to take care of him. While studying at Reutlinger Bruderhaus and Gustav Werner, the founder and director of the school discovered William Maybach's technical talent and trained him well, which laid a solid foundation for William Maybach's future development. In 1865, in the small town of Reutlingen, Wilhelm Maybach and Gottlieb Daimler, known as the "originator of the automobile," met for the first time in the Bruderhaus workshop. Wilhelm Maybach, who was only 19 years old, quickly attracted the attention of Daimler with his extraordinary talent in drawing. The same interests and hobbies built a bridge of friendship between Wilhelm Maybach and Gottlieb Daimler, and the two became close friends. In 1869, Wilhelm Maybach accepted Daimler's invitation and came to Gasmotorenfabrik Deutz Company as a technical draftsman.

In 1872, Daimler entered the Gasmotorenfabrik factory founded by Nicholas Otto as technical director. The research and development of four-stroke engines began at the Otto factory, and Maybach, who was only 27 years old, was also appointed director of the design room. In 1882, Gottlieb Daimler left Gasmotorenfabrik Deutz due to the increasingly serious conflict with Otto himself on design concepts, came to Bad Cannstatt near Stuttgart and bought a large building. He owns a house on the property, with a small garden converted into his workshop. In October of this year, William Maybach also came here and began to research and develop lightweight high-speed internal combustion engines with Daimler. After careful and extensive research, William Maybach invented the irregular heat pipe ignition system, which is an important part of the development of high-speed engines. But this invention has been patented by a British man named Watson. So he had to give up this achievement and instead made technical improvements to the original internal combustion engines on the market. Through their unremitting efforts, the engine speed was greatly improved. These invention patents laid a good foundation for subsequent commercialization. Following the horizontal engine in 1883, a light and small engine with a vertically fixed cylinder called the "Grandfather Clock" came out. The prospects of this small, high-speed engine were widely optimistic. This new engine was first applied to a bicycle in 1885, which was actually a precursor to motorcycles. In 1886, the engine was installed on a four-wheel carriage for the first time, becoming the famous "gasoline carriage". But Wilhelm Maybach was obviously not satisfied with using his invention only on four-wheeled carriages. The first product he conceived was a steel-wheeled car. William Maybach successfully installed a sliding pinion 4-speed gear transmission on this car, and the sliding gear system was officially introduced into automobile manufacturing. In 1890, when Daimler, Duttenhofer and Lorenz established the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) company, Maybach was appointed chief engineer and developed the honeycomb radiator that year. This effective engine cooling system became the basis for modern automobiles. Invention laid a solid foundation. The French called him "Roides Constructeurs" (King of Inventions). But soon after, Maybach left the company because he could not accept the terms of the contract. For the next year and a half Wilhelm Maybach continued to work on the design in his workshop, but with financial support from Daimler. In the fall of 1892, Wilhelm Maybach announced at the Hermann Hotel some important design inventions made during his time away from DMG, including the nozzle carburetor, the Phoenix engine and improvements to the belt drive system. Later, due to pressure from British industrialist Frederick Simons on DMG, William Maybach was re-appointed as the company's technical director in October 1895. After returning to his original position, Wilhelm Maybach achieved one technological achievement after another. On March 6, 1900, Gottlieb Daimler passed away. William Maybach made a lot of improvements to DMG's products, creating the first modern car we see in the history books with only 35 horsepower. In the later period, Wilhelm Maybach also designed the first modern sedan recognized in history, which marked the end of the "horse-drawn carriage era". By virtue of this, William Maybach is also revered as the "Father of Design" in the automotive industry and enjoys extraordinary glory. In 1907, Maybach left DMG due to disputes with the company's management and began to guide his son Karl Maybach to design the engine of the Zeppelin-style rigid airship. In 1909, Maybach co-founded his own company with his son Karl Maybach (1879-1996) and began to produce powerful engines for Count Ferdinand von Zippelin for airship manufacturing. In 1919, William Maybach, who could not give up his car dream, and Carl Maybach once again created another legendary brand in the history of automobiles, Maybach - a car that symbolized perfection and expensiveness.

Wilhelm Maybach also became famous again. As of 1941, about 1,800 such high-end sedans had been produced, and their bodies were carefully designed and equipped according to customer requirements. Among them, Maybach's flagship model is the DS8 "Zipparin" which came out in 1931. With a length of about 5.5 meters, the "Zipparin" was the most prestigious German sedan at the time: it conquered the world with its unparalleled elegance and power performance. On December 29, 1929, Wilhelm Maybach passed away in Stuttgart. With his contribution to the automotive industry, he was well deserved to be elected to the Automobile Hall of Fame 67 years later.

Emil Jellinek: In 1853, Emil Jellinek was born in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. During his school years, he brought no joy to his parents. Young Emil always refused any opportunity to study. Apart from paying private tuition for a few years, he never stayed in any school for a long time. . When he was in middle school, he was kicked out of boarding school because of his mischief. At the age of 17, he worked as a civil servant at the Rotkostelec North-Western Railway Co., Ltd., but he left the job after two years - and the station also took him Fired because Jelinek persuaded a train driver to go with him late at night on an empty railway section to test the maximum speed of the train (from this point, it can be seen that Jelinek has the potential of both an entrepreneur and a racing driver) ). After leaving the railway company, Linnek then set out for France, and at the request of the consul of Southern Hungary, he went to Tangier. A year later, he went to Tetuan as the acting consul, married a French girl, and successfully established a trading company to engage in North American native product trade. In 1881, he returned to Vienna to take over an insurance agency. Finally, he was appointed as an inspector. Due to certain circumstances he returned to Algiers. His two sons, Adolph and Fernand, were born there. In 1889 Emil Jelinek returned to Vienna with his family. In 1893, Emil Jelinek's potential for loving racing was realized (mainly because he had money at that time, so he could play racing). When he came into contact with Daimler, he ordered from the latter A Daimler car and a four-cylinder engine. In 1899, Emil Jelinek won the Nice-Macagonon-Nice car race in the name of his daughter Mercedes. In 1900, Emil Jelinek, a business-minded car sports fanatic, sold 28 Daimler cars, accounting for almost one-third of DMG's total production that year, becoming the most successful Daimler car salesman member. In April 1900, Emil Jelinek signed a contract with Daimler for the sale of cars and engines. The condition is that "Mercedes" be adopted as the name of the product. Facts have proved that when the name Mercedes was printed on the Daimler car trademark, everyone quickly accepted this beautiful name and became popular. Soon after, DMG named all of its cars Mercedes. In 1902, the Mercedes trademark was registered, and a new era for Mercedes began. In Mercedes
