Plenty of Hillsborough County residents choose to drive smart cars. smart is a German automotive brand that is a division of Daimler AG (which also owns Mercedes Benz). The company produces microcars and subcompacts. The name smart derives from the Swiss company Swatch and Mercedes Benz; smart stands for "Swatch Mercedes ART." In 1982, Swatch CEO Nicolas Hayek began developing an idea for a new car, one that is small and fit for city dwellers. His idea became known as the "Swatchmobile." Hayek approached several car manufacturers, and in 1991, he reached an agreement with Volkswagen to share development of the new project. However, the project was terminated two years later when Volkswagen changed CEOs.
On March 4, 1994, a deal was announced with Mercedes Benz and Swatch at a press conference in Stuttgart. The company also unveiled two concept cars: the eco-sprinter and eco-speedster. As part of this new convergence, the name of these cars was changed from "smartmobiles" to smart cars. The car launched successfully in nine European countries in October 1998, although it wasn't a hybrid like Hayek had hoped, but a car fully powered by gasoline. Until April 2019, smart remained under the Mercedes Benz Cars division of Daimler AG. In March 2019, Geely, a Chinese global automotive company, purchased a 50% stake.
