George Benz. He lost his father in a train accident when he was two years old.
Although he lived in poverty after the loss of his father, his mother gave him
a good education. He passed the mechanical engineering entrance examination at
the age of 15 and graduated at the age of 19. After graduation, he worked in
many companies. Back then Benz's focus was on how to operate a bicycle and a
horse-drawn carriage without manpower. He had to switch to various training

1879. He later patented a speedometer, a spark plug, a carburettor, a clutch, a
gear shift, and a water radiator.
In 1883 he co-founded the Benz
& Company Rheinische Gasmotoren-Fabrik with Benz & Cie as Benz &

‘motor wagons’ were produced.
The Benzoom Symphony Company,
which had 50 workers in 1889, was large in 1899 with 430 workers. In
1893, Carl Benz developed the Victoria, a 2.2 kW two-passenger vehicle. Its top
speed is about 18 km / h. The Benzin Velo competed in the world's first motor
race in Paris in 1894, running 127 km in 10 hours and 01st and finishing 14th.
In 1895, Benz designed the world's first freight car. A year later he received

year, it sold nearly 3840 vehicles and became the world's leading automaker.
The Blitzsen Bench was
manufactured in 1909 with a capacity of 150 kilowatts (200 horsepower). In the
same year, on November 9, 1909, in France, he set a new world record of 226.91

he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Carluccio. After World
War I, Germany's economy plummeted. Due to this Benz & c. The company

vehicle manufacturer called G. Carl Benz was a member of its board of directors
until his death. DMG's famous 1902 release of the Mercedes-35hp Became known as
the Mercedes-Benz (Mercedes-Benz). This later became its trade name. The
introduction of the diesel-powered freighter in 1927 was a milestone in vehicle
