Benz continued to improve his design with the

introduction of a second gear, a larger, 3-horsepowerengine, and improved brakes and springs.

The first sale of a Benz automobile occurred in 1887

At the Munich Imperial Exhibition in 1888, Benz wasawarded a gold medal for his invention.

Benz Company grew to 50 workers by 1889 and soonmoved to a larger factory where a new four-wheeledmodel began production in 1890.

Benz had given into the idea of a four-wheeledautomobile reluctantly and only after much lobbyingby others in his company who sought a more moderndesign.

Mercedes-Benz

i. One major challenger of Benz's claim to be the inventor of

the automobile was a fellow German, Gottlieb Daimler.

ii. Daimler also went on to become a successful producer of

four-wheeled automobiles and became one of Benz'sstrongest competitors in both French and German markets.

iii. To try to gain a greater share of the French market, Daimler

gave his car a French-sounding nameMercedesat the

suggestion of a business partner.

iv. Both it and the Benz company suffered a downturn duringthe economic depression after World War I. To strengthen

their chances of survival, the companies merged to form

Mercedes-Benz in 1926.
