Mercedes-Benz commonly referred to as just Mercedes, is a German luxury automotive marque. Mercedes-Benz and subsidiary Mercedes-Benz AG – of Daimler AG – are headquartered in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Mercedes-Benz produces consumer luxury vehicles and commercial vehicles. Its first Mercedes-Benz-badged vehicles were produced in 1926. In 2018, Mercedes-Benz was the largest seller of premium vehicles in the world, having sold 2.31 million passenger cars.
The company's origins lie in Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft's 1901 Mercedes and Karl Benz's 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen, which is widely regarded as the first internal combustion engine in a self-propelled automobile. The slogan for the brand is "the best or nothing".
Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Karl Benz's creation of the first internal combustion engine in a car, seen in the Benz Patent Motorwagen – financed by Bertha Benz's dowry and patented in January 1886 – and Gottlieb Daimler and their engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach, with the addition of a petrol engine, introduced later that year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG).

梅赛德斯-奔驰的起源可以追溯到卡尔·本茨在汽车中创造的第一台内燃机，见于奔驰专利汽车——由伯莎·本茨的嫁妆资助并于 1886 年 1 月获得专利——以及戈特利布·戴姆勒和他们的工程师威廉·迈巴赫对驿马车的改造 ，增加了汽油发动机，于当年晚些时候推出。 梅赛德斯汽车于 1901 年由戴姆勒汽车公司 (DMG) 首次销售。
