00:02:03
back to the mid 1800s in Germany. In a
00:02:07
world where people still used horses and
00:02:09
carriages to
00:02:10
travel, no one had ever imagined a
00:02:13
machine that could move without horses.
00:02:15
It sounded impossible.
00:02:18
Some even called it
00:02:19
madness. But one man had a
00:02:22
dream. His name was Carl
00:02:26
Benz. He was born in 1844 in a town
00:02:30
called Carl's Rua,
00:02:32
Germany. He was a mechanical engineer,
00:02:35
intelligent, quiet, and always full of
00:02:38
ideas. From a young age, Carl was
00:02:41
obsessed with machines.
00:02:44
While other boys played games, Carl drew
00:02:47
pictures of gears, wheels, and
00:02:50
engines. In his heart, he wanted to
00:02:53
build something that could move on its
00:02:55
own, something that could replace
00:02:58
horses. But in those days, people didn't
00:03:01
believe in such ideas. Everyone said,
00:03:04
"Why do we need a car? We already have
00:03:08
horses." But Carl didn't stop. He spent
00:03:12
years of his life building an engine
00:03:14
that could run on fuel, not on animals.
00:03:17
It was small, noisy, and very different
00:03:20
from anything the world had ever seen.
00:03:23
But it worked. In
00:03:25
1885, Carl Benz finally built the
00:03:28
world's first gasoline powered
00:03:30
automobile. It had three wheels, a small
00:03:34
engine, and it looked like a strange
00:03:36
bicycle. He called it the Ben's patent
00:03:39
motor. But there was a problem. Nobody
00:03:43
believed in it. Nobody wanted to buy it.
00:03:46
People laughed at him. Some even called
00:03:48
him crazy. He felt
00:03:51
defeated. And then someone very special
00:03:54
came forward. This is where the story
00:03:57
becomes truly
00:03:59
magical. Carl's wife, Bertha Benz, was
00:04:02
not just a wife. She was a visionary, a
00:04:05
believer, and the real hero of this
00:04:08
story. In a time when women weren't even
00:04:11
allowed to vote, she decided to do
00:04:13
something
00:04:14
bold. One early morning in August 1888,
00:04:18
without telling her husband, she took
00:04:21
the car with her two sons and went on a
00:04:24
journey. A journey that changed
00:04:28
history. She drove from Manheim to
00:04:31
Forzheim, a distance of 106
00:04:34
km. This was the first long-distance car
00:04:37
journey in the world.
00:04:39
She didn't have maps. There were no
00:04:41
mechanics to help her, no gas stations,
00:04:44
no roads made for cars. But Bertha was
00:04:48
brave. Along the way, she had to fix the
00:04:50
car by
00:04:52
herself. She used a hatpin to clean a
00:04:55
blocked fuel pipe. She used her hairpin
00:04:58
to fix a broken
00:05:00
ignition. She stopped at a pharmacy to
00:05:02
buy more fuel, making it the first gas
00:05:05
station in history. People in the
00:05:08
villages were shocked. Some thought she
00:05:11
was a witch. Others couldn't believe
00:05:14
that a woman was driving a metal
00:05:17
horse. But Bertha didn't stop. After
00:05:21
many hours, she reached her mother's
00:05:23
house and sent a telegram to Carl
00:05:25
saying, "The car works. The world is
00:05:29
ready." That journey was not just a
00:05:31
drive. It was a message to the world.
00:05:35
And it worked.
00:05:37
After that people became curious. They
00:05:40
came to see the car. Some laughed but
00:05:43
many were
00:05:44
amazed. And slowly people started
00:05:47
believing. Sales
00:05:49
began. Orders came in and what started
00:05:53
in a small garage in Germany became the
00:05:56
beginning of
00:05:58
MercedesBenz. But the journey of
00:06:00
Mercedes-Benz was far from over. That
00:06:03
was just the beginning.
00:06:06
Now let's go deeper. While Carl Benz was
00:06:09
working in one part of Germany, in
00:06:12
another city, Stuttgart, there was
00:06:14
another genius. His name was Gotle
00:06:17
Daimler. He had the same dream as Carl
00:06:21
to build a vehicle that runs on fuel,
00:06:23
not
00:06:24
horses. But he wanted to go faster,
00:06:27
stronger, and make machines for
00:06:30
everyone, not just the rich.
00:06:33
In 1886, around the same time Carl Benz
00:06:37
was building his car, Dameler and his
00:06:39
partner Vilhelm Maybach were also
00:06:42
working on a small engine. And guess
00:06:45
what? They
00:06:47
succeeded. They created a small light
00:06:50
engine called the grandfather clock
00:06:53
engine and installed it into a bicycle,
00:06:56
making one of the first motorbikes in
00:06:58
the world. Later, they added the engine
00:07:02
into a four-w wheeled vehicle just like
00:07:04
Ben's. So now, Germany had two men
00:07:08
inventing the future of
00:07:10
transportation separately. You might
00:07:13
think Ben and Dameler worked together
00:07:15
from the beginning, but no. For decades,
00:07:18
they were rivals. Ben had his company.
00:07:22
Ben and C. Dameler had his company.
00:07:26
Daimler Moto and Gazelle shaft or
00:07:29
DMG. They competed. They had different
00:07:33
ideas, different engines, and even
00:07:35
different customers. But something else
00:07:38
was about to happen. Something that
00:07:40
would unite them
00:07:42
forever. Now comes a very special part
00:07:44
of this story. The name
00:07:48
Mercedes. Where did it come from? Here's
00:07:51
the truth.
00:07:53
One of DMG's biggest supporters was a
00:07:55
man named Emil Gelan. He was a rich
00:07:59
businessman, a car dealer, and a man who
00:08:01
loved racing. He used to sell Dameler
00:08:04
cars in France and Austria, but Emil had
00:08:07
one condition. He told DMG, "I will sell
00:08:12
your cars across Europe, but the car
00:08:14
must be named after my
00:08:16
daughter." Her name was Mercedes Gel.
00:08:20
She was only 11 years old at that time
00:08:23
and that's how the name Mercedes was
00:08:25
born. In
00:08:27
1901, DMG created a new car called the
00:08:30
Mercedes
00:08:32
35HP. It was beautiful, powerful, and
00:08:35
fast. It changed the way cars were built
00:08:38
with a longer wheelbase, stronger
00:08:40
engine, and lower body. People called it
00:08:43
the first modern car. It was a huge
00:08:46
success. Everyone started calling DMG
00:08:49
cars
00:08:50
Mercedes and slowly the name became more
00:08:53
famous than the company itself. Then
00:08:56
came World War I 1914 to
00:08:59
1918. Germany was at war. Factories
00:09:03
stopped making normal products. They
00:09:06
started making weapons, military
00:09:08
vehicles, and engines for war plananes.
00:09:11
Benz and Sai and Dameler DMG both had to
00:09:15
stop their regular car business and
00:09:17
support the war effort. They made
00:09:19
engines for tanks, trucks, submarines
00:09:23
and
00:09:23
aircraft. But after the war, Germany was
00:09:27
broken. The economy was destroyed. The
00:09:30
people were poor and companies were
00:09:33
bankrupt. Both Benz and Dameler
00:09:35
companies were struggling to survive. In
00:09:38
1926, the two companies, Benz and
00:09:41
Company and DMG, came together and
00:09:44
became
00:09:45
MercedesBenz. They combined Carl Benz's
00:09:48
name, Dameler's Engineering, and
00:09:50
Mercedes as a brand. They were ready to
00:09:54
conquer the world, and they did.
00:09:57
Mercedes-Benz cars became a symbol of
00:09:59
quality, engineering, and
00:10:01
luxury. But something dark was on the
00:10:05
horizon.
00:10:07
Now we enter the most controversial and
00:10:09
painful part of the story. In the 1930s,
00:10:13
a man named Adolf Hitler rose to power
00:10:15
in Germany. He had big plans to make
00:10:20
Germany strong again to build roads,
00:10:23
factories, and
00:10:25
weapons. And guess who helped build
00:10:28
those vehicles and
00:10:29
engines? Yes, MercedesBenz.
00:10:34
MercedesBenz became one of the key
00:10:36
suppliers for Hitler's government. They
00:10:39
made military trucks, engines, and even
00:10:42
cars for the Nazi army. In fact, Hitler
00:10:46
himself was often seen in a MercedesBenz
00:10:49
770, a huge black luxury car with
00:10:53
bulletproof glass. This car became known
00:10:56
as the Hitler car. But it gets
00:10:59
worse. During the war, many German
00:11:03
companies, including Mercedes, used
00:11:05
forced labor. That means they took
00:11:08
prisoners, Jews, and people from
00:11:11
occupied countries and forced them to
00:11:13
work in factories under terrible
00:11:16
conditions. Over 40,000 people worked in
00:11:19
such conditions in Mercedes factories
00:11:22
during World War II.
00:11:24
This part of the story is painful and
00:11:27
dark, but it's also important to tell
00:11:30
the truth. And MercedesBenz later
00:11:33
admitted this, apologized publicly, and
00:11:36
paid millions to help survivors and
00:11:38
educate people about this part of
00:11:40
history. They didn't hide from their
00:11:43
past. They took
00:11:45
responsibility, and that gave them
00:11:48
respect. Germany was destroyed after
00:11:51
World War II.
00:11:53
Cities were in ruins. Factories were
00:11:55
bombed. People had nothing. But
00:11:58
MercedesBenz began to rebuild from zero.
00:12:03
They used whatever materials they had
00:12:05
and started making small cars, delivery
00:12:07
vans, and buses. In 1954, they
00:12:11
introduced a new car that shocked the
00:12:14
world. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing
00:12:18
with doors that opened like wings of a
00:12:21
bird. It became an icon. From there,
00:12:25
Mercedes kept growing year after year.
00:12:28
They became a symbol of
00:12:32
luxury,
00:12:34
power,
00:12:36
class, German
00:12:38
engineering. Presidents, kings,
00:12:41
businessmen, and even Hollywood stars
00:12:43
began using Mercedes. From war to peace,
00:12:47
from guilt to greatness, from a dream to
00:12:51
a global
00:12:52
legacy. But the road ahead was not easy.
00:12:56
Because now the world was changing fast.
00:13:00
Let's dive into the journey of how
00:13:02
MercedesBenz became a global luxury
00:13:04
icon, how they fought powerful
00:13:07
competitors, and how they entered the
00:13:09
future with electric dreams.
00:13:12
While most companies focused on speed or
00:13:14
looks, Mercedes focused on something
00:13:17
more
00:13:17
important, safety. In the 1960s,
00:13:21
MercedesBenz engineers asked a question.
00:13:25
What if cars could save lives, not just
00:13:28
move people? And that's when they
00:13:30
started introducing life-saving
00:13:32
features.
00:13:34
Crumple zones, a special design that
00:13:37
absorbs the impact during a crash so
00:13:39
passengers stay
00:13:41
safe. Seat belts. They promoted seat
00:13:44
belts when many people didn't even care
00:13:46
about
00:13:47
them. Airbags. Mercedes was among the
00:13:51
first to include airbags as standard in
00:13:53
their
00:13:54
cars. Anti-lock braking system, ABS.
00:14:00
This system helps the car stay in
00:14:01
control even when brakes are used
00:14:04
suddenly. People began to say, "If you
00:14:07
want the safest car, buy a
00:14:09
Mercedes." And this reputation lasted
00:14:11
for decades. In the 1970s, the world saw
00:14:15
another side of
00:14:17
Mercedes-Benz. Luxury, power, class.
00:14:21
They launched their famous S-Class. This
00:14:23
wasn't just a car. It was a moving
00:14:25
palace. It had soft leather seats,
00:14:29
woodfinish dashboards, smooth rides,
00:14:33
powerful engines, quiet cabins, advanced
00:14:37
technology for that time. Kings, queens,
00:14:40
presidents, actors, and CEOs all started
00:14:43
choosing MercedesBenz as their car. It
00:14:46
became a symbol of
00:14:48
success. In many countries, people would
00:14:51
say, "You know you've made it in life
00:14:54
when you drive a Mercedes.
00:14:57
By the 1980s, MercedesBenz wasn't just a
00:15:01
German brand. It became a global icon.
00:15:05
They entered America, where Mercedes
00:15:08
became the top choice for Hollywood
00:15:10
stars and Wall Street
00:15:12
businessmen. India, where Mercedes was
00:15:15
seen as the car of VIPs, ministers, and
00:15:18
film
00:15:19
stars. Middle East, where rich oil
00:15:22
families bought fleets of Mercedes for
00:15:24
their palaces.
00:15:26
Africa, South America, and Asia.
00:15:29
Mercedes was
00:15:31
everywhere. They started building
00:15:33
factories in other countries, not just
00:15:35
Germany. They created local versions of
00:15:38
their cars to suit different roads and
00:15:41
climates. They were now competing
00:15:43
worldwide and winning. But then came new
00:15:48
challengers. BMW, another German company
00:15:51
that focused on sporty, driverfocused
00:15:54
cars.
00:15:55
Audi, which introduced modern design and
00:15:58
quattro all-wheel drive. Lexus from
00:16:02
Toyota, which offered Japanese luxury at
00:16:05
lower prices. Jaguar, Volvo, Cadillac,
00:16:09
all wanted a piece of the luxury market.
00:16:12
Mercedes could not relax. So what did
00:16:15
they do? They began upgrading faster.
00:16:18
more powerful engines, more stylish
00:16:22
designs, more advanced
00:16:24
technology, better mileage, more comfort
00:16:27
options. They also started expanding
00:16:29
their
00:16:30
range. SUVs like the Mclass, later
00:16:33
called
00:16:35
GLE, compact luxury cars like the
00:16:38
C-Class and
00:16:39
Aclass, supercars like the SLR McLaren.
00:16:44
In the early 2000s, Mercedes partnered
00:16:47
with the famous British car maker
00:16:49
McLaren to build a
00:16:51
supercar, the MercedesBenz SLR
00:16:55
McLaren. It was,
00:16:58
ultra
00:16:59
fast, ultra light, super
00:17:03
expensive. A combination of F1 racing
00:17:06
technology and German engineering. This
00:17:09
car became an icon with only a few
00:17:11
thousand made. It was for the richest of
00:17:14
the rich. In the 20110s, Mercedes
00:17:17
decided to go even higher. They launched
00:17:20
the Maybach, a subbrand for super
00:17:23
luxury. These cars
00:17:26
were even more luxurious than
00:17:29
S-Class. Customuilt for
00:17:32
billionaires. With features like massage
00:17:34
seats, refrigerators, 64 color ambient
00:17:38
lighting, and privacy partitions.
00:17:41
Mercedes Maybach became the favorite of
00:17:44
celebrities like Jay-Z and
00:17:46
Beyonce, royals in the Middle East,
00:17:49
ultra rich in China, Russia, and India.
00:17:53
It was like a private jet on wheels.
00:17:56
Today, Mercedes-Benz knows the future is
00:17:58
electric. So, they created a new brand,
00:18:01
EQ, which stands for electric
00:18:04
intelligence. They launched EQS, the
00:18:08
electric version of the
00:18:09
S-Class. EQE, electric version of the
00:18:13
E-Class. EQB, EQA, and EQC, electric
00:18:18
SUVs. These cars have huge digital
00:18:21
dashboards, voice assistant. Hey,
00:18:24
Mercedes, fast charging, long battery
00:18:27
life, super silent drives. Mercedes is
00:18:31
investing billions to create electric
00:18:33
only factories. clean energy production
00:18:35
and next level AI
00:18:38
technology. Their goal to become fully
00:18:41
electric by
00:18:43
2030. And they're serious. You might
00:18:46
wonder, why did Mercedes-Benz survive
00:18:49
for over 100 years? Why did it become
00:18:53
more trusted than Samsung, Hyundai, and
00:18:55
even tech giants? Here's the secret.
00:18:59
They kept improving, never satisfied.
00:19:03
They learned from their mistakes. They
00:19:05
faced their dark past. They believed in
00:19:09
quality. They never chased only profits.
00:19:13
They understood their
00:19:15
audience. They moved with time from fuel
00:19:18
to hybrid to electric. Let's start with
00:19:21
a question. Why do world leaders, kings,
00:19:25
billionaires, and even secret agents in
00:19:27
movies choose
00:19:29
MercedesBenz? There's a reason why. When
00:19:32
a president visits another country, a
00:19:35
Bollywood star is seen at the airport, a
00:19:39
businessman enters a five-star hotel, or
00:19:42
even when James Bond chooses a ride in
00:19:45
some movies. The car waiting outside is
00:19:48
often a
00:19:49
Mercedes-Benz because it says something
00:19:51
without using words. I have
00:19:54
arrived. I am respected. I trust only
00:19:58
the best. Here are a few real examples.
00:20:01
Nelson Mandela and his Mercedes 500
00:20:05
SE. After being released from 27 years
00:20:09
in prison, South African leader Nelson
00:20:12
Mandela became a global symbol of peace
00:20:15
and
00:20:16
forgiveness. And when he became
00:20:18
president, the people of South Africa
00:20:21
built him a MercedesBenz
00:20:24
500 by
00:20:25
hand. Yes. More than 60 workers in the
00:20:29
Mercedes-Benz factory in East London,
00:20:31
South Africa, came together to build the
00:20:34
car specially for him. And they didn't
00:20:37
use machines. They built it entirely by
00:20:40
hand to honor him. This car was not made
00:20:44
by Mercedes. It was made by the people
00:20:47
for the man who brought peace to our
00:20:49
country. This was more than a car. It
00:20:52
was a symbol of hope. Princess Diana's
00:20:55
secret Mercedes.
00:20:57
In
00:20:58
1994, Princess Diana, one of the most
00:21:02
loved figures in history, did something
00:21:04
no other British royal had done. She
00:21:07
started driving a MercedesBenz
00:21:11
S280. It shocked the British media
00:21:14
because royals were expected to drive
00:21:16
only British brands like Rolls-Royce or
00:21:18
Jaguar. But Diana chose Mercedes because
00:21:22
she liked safety. She liked comfort. She
00:21:26
liked freedom. But due to pressure, she
00:21:30
had to return the car. Still, it showed
00:21:33
the world that Mercedes wasn't just for
00:21:35
power. It was for protection, too. Shah
00:21:39
Ruk Khan, the king of Bollywood, once
00:21:42
shared in an
00:21:43
interview, "I used to see big men in big
00:21:46
cars and dream that maybe one day I'll
00:21:49
have
00:21:50
one." Today, his Mercedes Maybach S580
00:21:54
is one of the most luxurious cars in
00:21:57
India. This journey from a middleclass
00:22:00
boy in Delhi to a man sitting in a
00:22:02
Maybach is not just about
00:22:06
success. It's about how a car becomes
00:22:09
part of your life
00:22:11
story. Now, here's what truly makes
00:22:14
Mercedes
00:22:15
powerful. It's not just loved by kings
00:22:18
and
00:22:19
celebrities. It's trusted by families,
00:22:22
taxi drivers, doctors, and daily people
00:22:25
who believe in one
00:22:27
thing, safety and
00:22:30
trust. Let me tell you a story. In 2012,
00:22:34
a father in Germany was driving his
00:22:37
C-Class with his two young children in
00:22:39
the back seat. They were going to a
00:22:42
birthday party. Suddenly, a truck coming
00:22:45
from the opposite direction lost control
00:22:47
and crashed directly into their car. The
00:22:51
car was
00:22:52
destroyed. The front was smashed. And
00:22:55
people thought nobody could survive such
00:22:56
a crash. But when rescuers arrived, all
00:23:00
three were alive. Why? Because the car
00:23:03
had side airbags, crumple zones,
00:23:07
reinforced steel, child seat
00:23:10
protections, and the structure remained
00:23:13
strong. When the father stepped out
00:23:16
holding his crying children, he looked
00:23:18
at the wrecked car and
00:23:21
cried, but not in pain. He cried because
00:23:25
he realized Mercedes saved his entire
00:23:27
world. In 2016, Mercedes launched a
00:23:31
system called
00:23:33
MBUX, MercedesBenz user
00:23:36
experience. It's an AI powered voice
00:23:39
assistant built into the car. Now, you
00:23:42
could say, "Hey, Mercedes, I'm cold."
00:23:45
And the car would turn up the
00:23:48
heat. "Hey, Mercedes, take me to the
00:23:50
nearest petrol
00:23:52
station." And it would guide you. You
00:23:54
think it ends here? No. Mercedes is now
00:23:58
working on flying cars with Volicopter,
00:24:01
a Mercedes
00:24:03
partner. Self-driving cars using AI and
00:24:06
satellite
00:24:08
GPS. Biometric seats that check your
00:24:11
stress levels. Eco-friendly factories
00:24:14
that produce zero
00:24:16
carbon and cars that can even project
00:24:19
movies on the windshield. They are
00:24:22
creating cars that are not just
00:24:24
transport. They are spaceships for the
00:24:26
modern world. Now it's time to go deeper
00:24:29
into the true meaning behind the logo.
00:24:33
The dark chapters they never hide from
00:24:36
their net worth
00:24:37
today and the powerful life lessons this
00:24:40
brand teaches us. You've seen the
00:24:43
three-pointed star inside a circle. It
00:24:46
looks simple, but it's one of the most
00:24:49
powerful brand symbols in the world. But
00:24:51
what does it mean? Three points, three
00:24:54
worlds, land, air, sea. Yes. When the
00:25:01
logo was created, Dameler, one of the
00:25:03
original founders, said, "Our engines
00:25:06
will rule the land, the air, and the
00:25:08
sea." It wasn't just a dream. It was a
00:25:12
promise. And today, Mercedes makes
00:25:15
luxury cars,
00:25:17
land. They've partnered in aircraft and
00:25:20
helicopters. Air and even marine
00:25:23
engines. See, that tiny logo holds a
00:25:26
massive vision. Nothing is
00:25:29
impossible. Now, let's talk numbers. The
00:25:32
company is part of MercedesBenz Group
00:25:34
AG, formerly Dameler AG, one of the
00:25:38
richest and most respected companies in
00:25:40
the world. Here's what you need to know.
00:25:44
Brand value 2025 over 60 billion
00:25:48
USD annual revenue
00:25:51
2024
00:25:53
approx 165 billion
00:25:56
US global employees over 170,000 people
00:26:01
car sold in
00:26:03
2024 over 2.4 4 million
00:26:07
vehicles. Net worth of MercedesBenz
00:26:10
Group estimated between 100 to 120
00:26:14
billion
00:26:15
USD. They are ranked among the top 10
00:26:18
most valuable car brands in the world,
00:26:21
competing with names like Toyota, Tesla,
00:26:23
and
00:26:24
BMW. But more important than money, they
00:26:27
are rich in trust, loyalty, and
00:26:30
reputation.
00:26:32
Every big name has a past and Mercedes
00:26:35
doesn't run from theirs. They accept,
00:26:37
apologize, and educate. During World War
00:26:41
II, Mercedes factories were used by the
00:26:44
Nazi government. They also used forced
00:26:47
labor, prisoners, and war victims to
00:26:50
build engines and vehicles. This is a
00:26:53
dark truth. But unlike many companies,
00:26:57
MercedesBenz publicly
00:27:00
apologized, donated millions to
00:27:02
Holocaust survivor funds, built
00:27:05
memorials inside their
00:27:07
factories, and shared all historical
00:27:09
records with transparency. They teach us
00:27:12
that success means nothing without
00:27:15
humanity. Here are some powerful words
00:27:17
from Mercedes over the years. The best
00:27:20
or nothing.
00:27:22
Safety is not just technology, it's
00:27:26
responsibility. Luxury is not about
00:27:28
price. It's about how you feel. And the
00:27:32
best one, we don't sell cars. We create
00:27:36
emotions. In May 2022, Mercedes-Benz
00:27:40
sold a special ultra rare car. 1955
00:27:44
Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Ulenha coup coupe
00:27:47
price $143
00:27:51
million. Yes, it became the most
00:27:53
expensive car ever sold in world
00:27:56
history. Why? Because it wasn't just a
00:27:59
car. It was art, history, and
00:28:02
engineering genius on wheels. And only
00:28:05
two units were ever made.
