Founded in 1926 and headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, Mercedes-Benz Group AG traces its origins to 1886, when founder Carl Benz invented the world's first three-wheeled automobile, earning the company the distinction of "inventor of the automobile."
Its three-pointed star emblem symbolizes the founder's grand vision of "motorization on land, sea, and air." With the brand promise "The best or nothing," Mercedes-Benz consistently sets industry benchmarks in luxury, safety technology, and precision craftsmanship.
