Mercedes-Benz has included Bengaluru in its '140 Years, 140 Places' global anniversary tour celebrating 140 years since Carl Benz patented the world's first automobile in 1886. Three S-Class sedans, named after automotive pioneers Carl Benz, Bertha Benz, and Gottlieb Daimler, traveled over 40,000 kilometers across 23 countries before reaching Bengaluru. As part of the India leg of the event, two S-Class vehicles visited Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) offices in Bengaluru. MBRDI, established in 1996, is the largest R&D center of Mercedes-Benz outside Germany and celebrated its 30th anniversary alongside the visit. The convoy will continue its journey globally before returning to Stuttgart in October.
