January 29 marked the 140th anniversary of the birth of the automotive industry—on this day in 1886, Karl Benz filed a patent application for the "Benz Patent-Motorwagen." Mercedes-Benz commemorated the milestone on its official Weibo account, paying tribute to history with the tagline, "Born to Love Mercedes-Benz." Numerous Chinese and international automakers joined in sending birthday wishes: BAIC, Cadillac, Buick, Audi, Li Auto, smart, NIO, Xiaomi Auto, Geely, Harmony Intelligent Mobility (Hongmeng ZhiXing), and Volvo all expressed their respect through creative messages. Mercedes-Benz responded individually to each message, highlighting values such as innovation, safety, and solidarity. From classic heritage to future vision, this celebration not only looked back on the automobile’s century-long journey but also showcased the industry’s shared commitment to moving forward together.
