Daimler find honeycomb radiator that is still used by all water-cooled vehicles today.
Daimler find carburetors are still used until recently replaced by injection.
"Chassis drop" - a car named "Mercedes" by Daimler was the first car with a modern configuration, having a "carriage" lower front and rear axles of the set, using the front engine and rear wheel drive. Earlier cars were "horseless carriages", has a center of gravity height and configuration of the engine and drivetrain are diverse.
The first passenger car that has brakes on all four wheels (1924).
Car safety system construction with front and rear crumple zones was first developed by Mercedes-Benz 1951 This discovery is regarded as one of the most important inventions in automotive construction, especially the security. In 1959, Mercedes-Benz patented a device that can avoid slip work by regulating the engine, transmission, and brake the car. In 1987, Mercedes-Benz applied its patent by introducing the traction control system. Traction control and airbags for the European market is an innovation from Mercedes-Benz. This technology was introduced in 1986.
Mercedes-Benz is the first manufacturer to use a seat belt pretensioners on the 1981 S-Class In the event of a crash, a pre-tensioner will tighten by itself, thus avoiding the passengers of a more serious injury. In September 2003, Mercedes-Benz introduced the world's first automatic transmission with 7 speed which they named 7G-Tronic. Electronic Stability Program (ESP), brake assist, and various other security devices, all developed, tested, and implemented in the first passenger car by Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz does not make a massive news about this discovery. They even make license this technology to be used by other automotive manufacturers around the world-in the name of improving driver and passenger safety. As a result, now crumple zones and anti-lock braking system (ABS) become standard on almost all modern cars.
The most powerful 8 cylinder engine in the world today is owned Mercedes-AMG, 6208 cc M156 which has a 85 PS power per his 1000cc. The V8 engine is named after the '63 AMG ', and replaced the '55 AMG M113 engine' in many models. The M156 engine capable of producing power up to 391 kW (532 PS; 524 bhp), but the achievement of this effort is a bit
(W211) E320 CDI which use a 2.8L V6 diesel engine with a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) and common rail managed to record three world record endurance test. This car is capable of completing 100,000 miles (160,000 km) with an average speed reached 224 823 km / h. 2 other identical cars managed to break the same record for completing 100,000 miles and 50,000 miles (80.000km). (all of these records was inaugurated by the FIA).
Mercedes-Benz is the inventor of a system called Pre-Safe, which is useful to detect any unexpected accidents and prepare the car's system so that it can respond appropriately. This technology can also calculate how much brake force required to avoid an accident in a critical situation, went to work when the driver presses the brake pedal. The passengers are also secured by tightening the seat belt, closing the sunroof and windows, and changing the seating position to the optimum position. A series of security device discovery helps Mercedes-Benz the Safety Award at the award winning award "What car?" in 2007
