Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of
automobiles, buses, coaches, and
trucks. It is currently a division of its parent company,
Daimler AG (formerly Daimler Chrysler AG), after previously being owned by
Daimler-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has its origins in
Karl-Benz's creation of the first
petrol-powered car, the
Benz Patent Motor wagen, patented in January 1886,
and by
Gottlieb Daimler and engineer
Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol engine later that year.
