The Smart Car - Compact Design; Forward Thinking

In 1993, Daimler-Benz and Swiss watchmaker Swatch jointly created Switzerland's Micro Compact Car. Later the company moved to Germany and renamed the vehicle Smart. Smart is an acronym for "Swatch Mercedes Art". Daimler Benz provided build quality and engineering expertise to the production of Smart auto. Swatch applied its unique design philosophy.

Briefly dubbed the "Swatchmobile", it was renamed the "Smart Car". This vehicle emphasized affordability, environmental stewardship and easy parking. The Smart Car created a new automobile niche. Microcars or super-minis and the need for 100% authentic Smart part.

Change of Heart Saves Smart Auto

This was a positive change for the Smart Car. By the close of 2006, more than 770,000 automobiles. Smart autos were sold in 36 countries. Changes were made to Smart's interiors and auto and manual transmissions, improving safety. In 2006, after four years and losses as high as 4 billion euros Smart GmbH was liquidated. Mercedes Benz absorbed Smart auto production.
