The popularity of Daimler vehicles, which became synonymous with the Mercedes name began to increase in 1899, when a Daimler-produced vehicle equipped with higher horsepower was named "Mercedes" which was the name of his eldest daughter. He won first places in the races he participated in with this vehicle. Continuing to win the race, Emil Jellinek; ordered 36 cars from Daimler and required these vehicles to bear the Mercedes name.
