The story of bba starts with the three major luxury brands. bba is actually the collective name of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. bba is the name of their three brands respectively: BMW, Benz and Audi. First, of course, it is just a common name for them in the industry, and Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi also interpret luxury, sports, and high-tech. The three brands have opened joint ventures in my country, namely Beijing-Benz, BMW, and Audi. BMW Brilliance, FAW Audi. Let’s take a look at their respective histories below.
Mercedes-Benz: Luxury
Mercedes-Benz, the full name is Daimler Mercedes-Benz Car Company. There are three main founders. The first is Gottlieb Daimler, a French engineer and scientist, and one of the pioneers of the modern automobile industry.

The comfort and luxury of a BMW and the driving pleasure of a BMW. The original name of BMW is Airport Factory, which is also the meaning of the bottom of BMW's ring logo, in order to commemorate the propellers that once spread their wings and rotated under the blue sky.
Many well-known companies will encounter corporate mergers and acquisitions in their progress, and BMW is no exception. In the 1990s, due to the current economic situation, even though BMW's operating income continued to rise, BMW, which had advantages in business scale, still faced the risk of being recycled. BMW can only expand its business scope by recycling other well-known brands. In the end, BMW recycled many well-known brands such as Rover, Range Rover, MG and Mini.
However, the bottomless pit of the Rover Group made BMW feel pressured. In the end, in order to save itself, it had to sell Rover and MG to the American Phoenix Investment Company, and the Range Rover It was sold to Ford Motor Company, and in the end only the Mini brand remained.
In 2003, BMW obtained three more Rolls-Royce trademark logos, namely the "Goddess of Ecstasy" standing logo, the family-style straight waterfall air intake and the "RR" car logo. This was followed by the release of the luxury flagship Rolls-Royce Phantom.
In the same year, BMW’s Sino-foreign joint venture BMW Brilliance was established in my country. This was also an epoch-making step for BMW in the Chinese market, and subsequently provided many products to Chinese customers.

Audi: high-tech
Audi is one of the oldest automobile manufacturers in Germany. Since 1932, Audi has gradually adopted the four-ring logo, which represents the automotive alliance formed by Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. At that time, the automobile alliance's manufacturing industry included all new energy bus industries, from motorcycles to high-end cars.
War can not only destroy people, but their civilized behavior can also hinder their progress. The emergence of World War II caused the Automobile Alliance to stop the development of new energy buses and was forced to produce military equipment. At the end of the war, the Automobile Alliance was already in a state of collapse, and there was basically no one to manage it for the next two years.
After the war, the Automobile Alliance was gradually rebuilt and a new Automobile Alliance company was founded in Ingolstadt. At this time, it was already the predecessor of Audi. Then, the New Automobile Alliance was acquired by Daimler-Benz. This acquisition made Daimler-Benz become the largest automobile manufacturer in the German Federal Republic.
In 1964, due to the political crisis of the New Automobile Alliance, Daimler-Benz sold its use rights to Volkswagen Automobile in stages. Two years later, Volkswagen owned all the shares of the New Automobile Alliance.
In 1968, the New Automobile Alliance released the Audi 100 model. This model received good reviews and quickly became the largest-selling model at the time. At the same time, it established the foundation for Audi's independent brand in the future. Basic. In 1977, the last NSUR80 car rolled off the production line. From then on, all car brands produced were Audi brands.
In 1980, the first batch of mass-produced full-time four-wheel drive vehicles came out, using Audi's quattro permanent four-wheel drive system technology, and achieved great success in rally competitions. You must have seen the wainscot manufacturer's logo on many cars. In fact, it is the logo of Audi's quattro technology, which means a four-wheel drive system with strong adhesion to grip the land. In the past, this mark could be directly affixed to this wainscot manufacturer on some models, causing many people to blindly follow suit. Nowadays, most cars use the English car mark as shown below to indicate whether this model has one of the four characteristics. Drive technology.
In 1993, Audi demonstrated the world's first car using an all-aluminum body frame shear wall (ASF). ASF is a high-strength aluminum alloy profile frame shear wall. All control panels are It is inserted into it, so it also has an installation function. Because it is used together with this high-toughness aluminum alloy panel, the aluminum car body also has excellent bending stiffness, which can provide excellent anti-skid effects and at the same time greatly reduce the weight of the car body.
In the second year, Audi accelerated its development, and new cars continued to appear. The all-aluminum body Audi A8 was announced for the first time. The fourth-generation Audi 100 was renamed Audi A6 and put on the market. Then the latest Audi A4 was put on the market and achieved great success. In the past year, 120,000 units were sold in France. Then, the Audi TT super sports car, Audi A3, new Audi A6, and Audi A12 were also put on the market one by one.
In 1998, when Audi was about to celebrate its 100th birthday, Audi successfully purchased the well-known French sports car brand Ferrari and the British racing car engine company Cosworth.
In the 21st century, Audi has gradually entered its glorious period, and subsequent models have gradually created a luxurious and sporty style. The Audi A8, Audi RS4, Audi Q7, Audi A5 and other models released in the future will all reflect this design style.
The historical relationship between Audi and China goes back to 1986, which was the first official contact. In the following two years, Audi's research and development work on cars continued, and a production license was granted to FAW in 1988. However, it was not until 1993 that Audi announced a strategic cooperation with FAW. In 1996, Audi 200v6 announced its withdrawal.
In 1999, FAW Audi A6 withdrew from Changchun City, which happened to fill the gap in the production and manufacturing of high-end luxury cars in my country.
In 2001, the Audi A8 announced its launch into the Chinese market, which meant that the flagship product in the Audi series was launched in my country. Subsequently, the latest Audi A4 and Audi TT super sports cars have also been promoted in my country, bringing more diversified choices to domestic consumers.
Audi has been in my country for 25 years. The main models on the market today include Audi A4L, Audi Q5, Audi A6L, Audi A3, Audi Q3, and Audi A6L new energy technology models. .
The Audi A6L is a model developed based on the new A6, the international version of FAW Audi, and is a replacement for the A6. Audi A6L has 1.8T, 2.0T, 2.5L and 3.0T displacement options, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission or a simulated 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission, with a market price of 406,000-746,000.
The Audi A6L can be said to be the representative work of executive-level cars. Audi has a strong market reputation at this level. If you want to change this situation, other competitors need to work harder.
