Mercedes benz, a car known for luxury and comfort because of its strong heritage and rich history.
Mercedes benz manufactured the first car in 1886 as a three wheel drive mounted with a rear-single-cylinder engine.he first automobile to impress people. A couple of years later as in the advance in technology, Mercedes Benz decided to put together the first race in Benz history on 1894. Later on 1901 the honeycomb radiator was invented in Mercedes cars giving them a very unique cooling power to the engine and also in 1906 the first electric powered car was introduced. Being less successful than petrol powered cars, Mercedes then, issued the multi valve system in petrol cars on 1910. Horse power increased and the gears ran smoother than before and torque started showing on the unique German cars. It took more than 7 years for the company to break the market and give out the first supercharged engine on the 770 Grand Mercedes giving a 28/95 hp. Mercedes had a complaint from one of their costomers as the car wiggle and shifts as it goes on heavy terrain. That complaint triggered the idea of independent 4-wheel suspension along with a new hydraulic braking system giving a new body structure for a new class of the brand and a new system called ABC(active body control). On 1949-1958 where bnz has already introduced more than 170 saftey features one of which is the conical pin door where the doors in the vehical are rigidly structured and designed not to be opened during a collision or accident and also assigning test crash programs before manufacturing a new model to improve in stability and safty. On 1963 the gated shifter in the Mercedes benz made a huge breakthrough in the shifting experience.moving on on 1978 the Mercedes benz company issued a new system called ABS( antilock braking system) which would retain the driver from skidding or losing control over the car once he or she face an obstacle on the road. From 1982 till 2000 the company literally introduced more than 30 saftey features and driving systems making the multilink suspensions system that was issuede on the C 190 the break through of a 5arm rear suspension gives the driver a new feeling of steering and overtaking. That's not all the 4mativ allwheel drive rose from Benz giving a new sensation besides 2 wheel drive and the CFC- free climate control gave the Mercedes a nature friendly outlet and helped reducing chlorofluorocarbons which are very harmful to the ozone layer in specific . On 1992 the companys electronics were so much in the vehical they had to use CAN(controller area network). Bosch originally developed the Controller Area Network (CAN) in 1985 for in-vehicle networks. In the past, automotive manufacturers connected electronic devices in vehicles using point-to-point wiring systems. Manufacturers began using more and more electronics in vehicles, which resulted in bulky wire harnesses that were heavy and expensive. They then replaced
