Welcome home.

Since 1886.

For more than 140 years, Mercedes-Benz has been recognised for engineering excellence, iconic design and safety. With its passion for performance and pioneering power, excellence and an unwavering commitment to customer service, the brand has consistently shaped the future of mobility. The result goes well beyond engineering achievement – it creates the unmistakable feeling that leads through everything Mercedes‑Benz does.

Innovation.

Since Carl Benz registered his patent for the motor car (Motorwagen) in 1886 and Gottlieb Daimler built his motorised carriage (Motorkutsche) shortly afterwards, the history of Mercedes-Benz has for 140 years known only one direction: forward. From Bertha Benz's legendary pioneering journey to speed records, early milestones in autonomous driving, vision cars and high-tech drive systems: Mercedes-Benz repeatedly demonstrates its unwavering determination to win and how it is constantly rethinking the automobbile.

Quality.

Every Mercedes-Benz automobile is developed and manufactured to the highest quality standards of its time. This consistent commitment to quality creates lasting value, strengthens trust in the products and has made Mercedes-Benz a reliable and trusted companion to its customers for decades.

Safety.

Safety research is a defining theme in the company's history. Mercedes-Benz sets milestones that shape the industry and mobility culture - from the safety body, Anti-lock Braking Systems ABS, airbag with belt tensioner and Electronic Stability Programme ESP® to the concept of integrated safety. These and other innovations represents a systematic understanding of safety that goes beyond individual solutions.

Comfort.

Advanced and intelligent technology is constantly redefining comfort systems - for an incomparable driving experience that focuses on support, relief and well-being for drivers and passengers. Comfort and sportiness are no longer mutually exclusive: superior performance and relaxed driving comfort come together in a perfect symbiosis. The result is luxury with the best possible support for passengers.

Automotive Icons.

Since the invention of the automobile, outstanding vehicles have shaped the perception of Mercedes-Benz and its predecessor brands. Every single model since 1886 represents the strengths of the brand in its own way. Time and again, individual models and model series stand out. They become automotive icons and represent in a special way what defines the brand - the innovative strength of Mercedes-Benz.

Future Vision.

The continuity of Mercedes-Benz's spirit of innovation is evident not only in the 140-year history of the automobile, but also in its current reasearch activities, which are writing the next chapter in this success story. Shaped by the legacy of Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, Mercedes-Benz is already researching innovations for a completely new age of mobility. The VISION EQXX was the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to use cast components developed with an innovative bionic optimisation approach. This approach ensures that material is used only where it is needed and makes components lighter and more resource-efficient.
