Made in Germany: History of the German Car Industry
1926 – Mercedes-Benz
Daimler and Benz were two separate car companies that faced financial difficulties during a tough time. To overcome these challenges, they joined forces in 1926 to create a new company called Daimler-Benz.
They decided to name all their cars Mercedes-Benz, which was the name of one of Daimler’s most popular models. This collaboration helped both companies grow stronger and succeed in the automobile industry.
