== History ==
In 1922 the department for the construction of stationary engines was outsourced and had its name changed from ''Benz & Cie. Rheinische Gasmotorenfabrik in Mannheim'' to ''Motorenwerke Mannheim''. The renowned German engineer [[Prosper L'Orange]], a pioneer of diesel engine technology, was the technical manager then. Before that he worked for Benz & Cie. The construction of diesel engines in particular used to be the core business of MWM, amongst others for utility vehicles and agricultural machines.<ref name="Seitz 2014 10–12">{{Cite book |last=Seitz |first=Stefan |title=Wir sind Patent. Mobilität aus Mannheim |publisher=Karin Ulrich |year=2014 |isbn=978-3-945534-00-7 |location=Mannheim |pages=10–12 |language=DE}}</ref>
 
In 1924 MWM manufactured their first tractor, which was called ''Motorpferd'' ("motor horse"). In 1931, tractor production was discontinued. For quite a long time, combines by Claas, tractors by the French manufacturer Renault, and by the German companies Fendt, Lanz, Bautz, Holder and Ritscher, were equipped with MWM engines.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Steiner-Welz |first=Sonja |title=lte Mannheimer Werbeanzeigen |publisher=Vermittlerverl.

In 1926 Knorr-Bremse AG was able to acquire the majority of shares and took over. In 1985 they sold MWM to [[Deutz AG]] (Cologne). The company's site was maintained. The company, along with [[MAN SE]], remained the chief engine manufacturer in the field of commercial diesel engines in Germany. DEUTZ restructured the whole company several times and expanded the gas engine division.<ref name="Seitz 2014 10–12"/>
 
MWM was known as Deutz Power Systems at the time 3i purchased it.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|last=Prasad|first=Quentin Webb, Sakthi|date=2010-10-22|title=Caterpillar buys 3i's engine maker MWM for $810 million|language=en|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mwm-caterpillar-idUSTRE69L1IF20101022|access-date=2020-10-13}}</ref>
In August 2007, DEUTZ sold the engine company to the financial investor [[3i]] as '''Deutz Power Systems''' for 360 million [[euro]]s.

On 1 October 2008 Deutz Power Systems was renamed MWM GmbH.
