    1886 | Benz patent motorcar The Benz patent motorcar is the world's first automobile. Carl Benz designed it in 1885 and filed for a patent on 29 January 1886 under the name "vehicle with gas engine operation". The patent number 37435, granted by the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin, is the birth certificate of the automobile. Button
    1900 | Mercedes 35 hp In 1900, on the initiative of Emil Jellinek, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft developed a vehicle that deviated significantly from the carriage construction principle usually used up to then. Emil Jellinek initiated the development of a completely new automobile with a light, powerful engine, long wheelbase and low centre of gravity. According to Jellinek's then ten-year-old daughter, the new model to be developed first bore the name "Mercedes". Button
    1959 | Safety bodyshell with crumple zones: Mercedes-Benz "Fintail" (W 111) In 1959, Mercedes-Benz introduced an industry-leading innovation – the safety bodyshell. The concept of designer Béla Barényi: crumple zones at the front and rear and a strong passenger compartment in between. The first vehicle was the high-class saloon of the 111 model series, affectionately called the "fintail”. Button
    1978 | ABS anti-lock braking system in series production passenger cars: Mercedes-Benz S-Class (116 model series) An engineer's dream came true in 1978: Mercedes-Benz presented the anti-lock braking system in the S-Class of the 116 model series. Even when the brake is fully on, the vehicle remains manoeuvrable and hazardous areas can be bypassed. Further assistance systems could be built based on the ABS sensors. Button
    1981 | Airbag in series production passenger cars: Mercedes-Benz S-Class (126 model series) The world's first production vehicle with a driver's airbag and seat belt tensioner on the front passenger side was the Mercedes-Benz 126 model series S-Class in 1981. In the even of a crash, an airbag unfolds from the steering wheel within milliseconds and forms a padding between the driver and the wheel. It was to complement the seat belt. Today, there are numerous airbags in the entire vehicle. Button
    2002 | PRE-SAFE passenger protection system: Mercedes-Benz S-Class (220 model series) PRE-SAFE® is another milestone in Mercedes-Benz safety technology development. If the sensors detect an impending collision, the technology prepares the vehicle for impact. For example, it closes the sliding sunroof and side windows, sets the seat backrests to vertical and tightens the seat belts on the front seats as a precautionary measure. This increases the protective effect for the passengers. Button
    2013 | Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive Since 2013, numerous assistance systems have been bundled together under the name Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive. The clever combination of cameras, sensors and control units makes the vehicle an “intelligent” partner. The assistance systems and their ever increasing interconnectivity are pioneering – and a milestone on the road to autonomous and accident-free driving. Button
    2021 | First all-electric luxury saloon from Mercedes-Benz: EQS The EQS is the first fully electric luxury saloon from Mercedes-Benz and is the first model to be built with the modular architecture for luxury and upper-class electric vehicles. The MBUX Hyperscreen, a high-resolution user interface that extends over the entire width of the dashboard, is also celebrated as a world first in series production vehicles. Button
