A car brand in Maibakh. Maibakh (German: Maybach) and Maibakh Engine Factory (German: Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH) were German ultra-luxury car brands and manufacturers active in Europe from 192 1 to 1940.
Wilhelm maybach, the father of Karl Maibakh, the founder of the automobile factory, was the chief technical director of Daimler Engine Company (the predecessor of Daimler Group today). The two factories have deep roots. 1997 DaimlerChrysler exhibited a conceptual ultra-luxury four-door car named Maibakh at the Tokyo Motor Show, which officially revived this German automobile brand that had disappeared for many years.
However, due to poor market performance, Maibakh series cars were completely discontinued in 20 13. 2065438+04165438+10/9, Mercedes-Benz officially released its brand-new sub-brand Mercedes-Maibakh in Guangzhou, and its first model, Maibakh S-Class, officially made its world premiere.
2. Smart?
Smart is the product of cooperation between German Benz and Swiss watch giant Swatch. In the name, S stands for Swatch, M stands for Mercedes-Benz, and art stands for art, which represents the artistry of cooperation between the two parties.
Smart itself has a clever meaning, which is also in line with its brand concept. There are more and more vehicles in modern cities. In order to solve this problem, many automobile manufacturers put forward the concept of micro-city scooter. Smart developed by Swatch is no exception, and with the technical support of Mercedes-Benz, Smart can retain the creativity of the concept car, and at the same time has the advantages of popularization and practicality. The compact shape, coupled with intelligent and humanized control design, makes the smart model like a smart big toy.
3. Mercedes
Mercedes-Benz, a German automobile brand and the inventor of automobiles, is considered as one of the most successful high-end automobile brands in the world. Its perfect technical level, excellent quality standards, innovative ability and a series of classic coupe styles are commendable. Mercedes-Benz Trident Star has become one of the most famous car and brand symbols in the world.
20 16 and 10, Mercedes-Benz ranked 9th among the most valuable brands in the world in 20 16.
Daimler applied for the patent of the triangle star logo in 1909, but Mercedes-Benz belongs to the circular badge. Daimler's logo comes from Daimler's letter to his wife. He thinks that the stars he draws on the house at home will bring him good luck. This three-pointed star also symbolizes the development of Mercedes-Benz in three directions: land, sea and air.
1909, in order to commemorate the mass production of his VELO car, Mr. Daimler changed the gear pattern in the three-pointed star to laurel branches to show victory. The "Mercedes" in the logo was taken from the name of his beautiful daughter, Austrian car dealer emil jellinek. "Mercedes-Benz" means lucky in Spanish. Unfortunately, this beautiful woman died in an unhappy marriage at the age of 40, but the practice of naming after her spread like wildfire. The logo of Mercedes-Benz was originally Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by wheat ears.
1926, Daimler merged with Mercedes-Benz, and the star logo and the ears of Mercedes-Benz finally merged into one, with the words Mercedes-Benz below. Later, the ears of wheat were changed into rings, and the words Mercedes-Benz were removed. With the merger of the two oldest automobile manufacturers, the factory once again applied for a patent right for the trademark. The star logo on this ring has evolved into today's pattern, which has been used to this day and has become one of the top ten famous trademarks in the world.
