Smart is a brand of Mercedes-Benz cars.
Smart is the product of a cooperation between Germany's Mercedes-Benz and the Swiss watch giant Swatch. The S in the name stands for Swachh, M stands for Mercedes-Benz, and art means art, representing the artistry of the cooperation between the two parties.
In 1994, Mercedes-Benz and SWATCH formed a joint venture, MCC, to jointly develop an ultra-miniature compact car called "SMATCH MOBILE".
Later, Mercedes-Benz and SWATCH suddenly broke up. Mercedes-Benz took over the 19 MCC shares held by Swatch and became the only major shareholder, continuing the work of MCC. Mercedes-Benz has determined that its ultra-miniature compact car will be produced in France and named it "smart".
