GERMAN AUTOMOBILES

90% of German automobiles are produced by four companies: Daimler- Benz, Volkswagen, Opel and BMW. Daimler-Benz plants are in Stutgart. They produce cars and trucks of high quality. The trucks have different names and all the cars are "mercedeses". It is interesting to know where from this name came. The history of it is the following.

At the end of the last century Daimler plant was in a difficult financial situation. One of the stockholders Elinek by name proposed his plan for saving the firm. The plant was successful. All cars were named "mercedes" in honour of his daughter. Later on Daimler and Benz united their plants and their – models had the names "Mercedes-Benz". Daimler – Benz produces very interesting models known as "Unimong". This name means "universal possibilities". They can work in agriculture, in building, geology. If additional equipment is set "Unimong" may be used as bulldozers, snow cleaners, traction vehicles wagons.

During the World War II "Volkswagon Werk" firm began producing a mini-car, which was nicknamed – "beetle". The car had a torsion suspension of wheels. Air-cooler engine was in rear. The car was reliable and light. These beetles have been produced for 40 years. They were exported to many countries. The special attention was paid to the streamlined body. They had built an aerodynamic tube 82 meters long, 21 m high. No one automobile plant in the world had such tube. Only some years later General Motors and Fiat had built such tubes.

The famous "Porshe" firm was founded in 1948. It specializes in producing expensive sport automobiles.
