As I entered the festival hall in Frankfurt, back in September 2017, I was both impressed and completely confused. Mercedes-Benz had obviously gone to a great deal of effort to decorate the entire festival hall with the latest and finest premium vehicles — and then to hold a festival at which the only people speaking had nothing to do with automobiles. Everything for the future of mobility!

Whether you’re driving to your shift, dealing with congestion during the evening rush hour, or driving hundreds of kilometers per week for your job, some drives are more stressful than others. Why not use this time to make your journey as pleasant as possible in line with your specific needs? That’s precisely what we aim to do with comfort control and the ENERGIZING COACH.

FC think! tank — it sounds like a soccer club. Is it really related to innovation? That’s how conversations with friends or acquaintances often start when the subject comes up for the first time.

„Ahmet, your car smokes like a shisha bar!” Right, but the GLC F-CELL doesn’t “smoke”. The emissions are H2O: Water vapor. Especially when it’s cold, the warm water vapor condenses in the cold ambient air. For an amateur, it seems like fog.

Carnival is so important for us that right as you are reading this post, there are Brazilians still celebrating and even more people are already counting the days for next year's event!

To stand behind the doors of a design department in which the greatest secrets of Mercedes-Benz are hidden.

I had this fantastic opportunity after an invitation to a design-workshop in Stuttgart/Germany. Here I would like to share my impressions with you.

In this Formula 1 preview, Bradley Lord gives an insight into the first race in Australia and explains the function of an F1 steering wheel.

For almost a year now, I’ve been participating in the MBC Mentoring Program as a mentor for women team leaders from throughout the Group. One of the most surprising things I’ve discovered about the program is how much it’s actually benefited me as well.

Today there’s no lack of things that can be shared. Vehicles are shared via SHARE NOW, overnight accommodation via couch surfing, green spaces via “garden sharing,” and pets via “dog sharing.” This trend is also gaining ground in the workplace. At Daimler there are currently more than 250 “job sharers” at the management level — and that number is growing.

The term “job sharing” refers to a working time model in which two people work part-time and share a single job. This sounds good in theory, and it’s also successful in practice. My job at Daimler Corporate Communications has been a shared enterprise since the end of 2016.
