Please check back soon! Benz Company History (Continued from top) 
Benz Logo Karl Benz was first to prove the advantage of gasoline powered engines but gasoline was difficult to find so acceptance was slow. Benz built some cars in the 1890's but they were hard to sell because of the lack of gasoline. In 1903 Benz retired and made his son Richard chief designer. The 1904 Benz did well but after two years Benz returned to start a new company with his other son, Eugen. Karl Benz retired again in 1912 and left everything to his sons.Daimler Motors was Benz' chief competition and he tried to put together a merger deal several times without success until 1924, when Daimler finally agreed. They agreed to share parts and technology but keep their own brands. In 1926 they merged as the Daimler-Benz company. Daimler had introduced the Mercedes in 1900 and after the merger they agreed to sell all their vehicles under the Mercedes-Benz label. |
