Smart, established in 1994 as a collaboration between Swatch and Mercedes-Benz, aimed to create a compact city car. The first model, the Fortwo, launched in 1998, became known for its unique design and urban efficiency. In 2019, Smart transitioned to a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely, focusing on electric vehicles like the Smart #1 and #3. Today, Smart continues to innovate in sustainable urban mobility.
