Benz was first, with a three-wheeler vehicle in 1885 in Mannheim, followed separately in 1886 by Daimler in Stuttgart, with a more sophisticated four-wheeler. The Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) later adopted Mercédès as its brand.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe two pioneers never met, but their companies are described in these pages, as well as the story of Daimler-Benz, set up in 1926 by the merger of the two firms. Over the next decades the Mercedes-Benz marque grew in strength and presence, due to dogged determination to stick to what they knew best; producing high-quality motor vehicles of all kinds. Mercedes-Benz trucks, vans, buses, fire appliances and cross-country vehicles will be described in \u003cem\u003eAuto Review 146\u003c\/em\u003e, including V-Class, X-Class and G-Class. Unimogs and MB-Tracs will be described in \u003cem\u003eAuto Review 149\u003c\/em\u003e.
