The all-electric Mercedes-Benz Citaro runs locally emission-free and almost silently, taking electric mobility using city buses to a new level. The 12-metre variant will celebrate its world premiere in September at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show, with the start of series production also taking place this year. The new Citaro offers an impressive standard of energy efficiency. The intelligent modular concept for its battery and charging technology is similarly compelling.

In shaping future mobility, complex issues need to be addressed which stretch the current generations of computers and server systems to the limits of their capabilities, or even beyond. It is hoped that quantum computers will make it possible to resolve such tasks and to speed up work in this area. Daimler is thus pursuing strategic research partnerships in the field of quantum computing, and has signed a cooperation agreement in this area with Google. The design of Google’s recent 72 qubit Bristlecone chip features the highest number of quantum bits ever used in a quantum computer.

Permanently striving to reinvent is a trait that bonds Mercedes-Benz with the German national football team. The “Best Never Rest” campaign which Mercedes-Benz is initiating for the football World Cup in Russia puts this in a nutshell. It is getting under way on social media and in stadium communications, and the motifs will then be shown via further communication channels. As well as the team itself, the stars of the World Cup campaign are the new C-Class models from Mercedes-Benz.

Powerful V8 engines, thrilling driving dynamics and distinctive, motorsport-inspired equipment have turned the top-of-the-range models of the C-Class from Mercedes-AMG into bestsellers. The C 63perfectly embodies the core of the performance and sports car brand and now offers, in the guise of the Saloon, Estate, Coupé and Cabriolet, even better dynamics and a more modern interior with extended individualisation options.

EU Directive 2015/758 requires that from 31 March 2018 all new passenger cars type-approved from that date must be equipped with an EU eCall system as standard. This has long been the situation at Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz emergency call was launched back in 2012, and has featured as standard in all model series since Mercedes me was introduced in September 2014. Mercedes-Benzemergency call is currently available in 35 countries. As a particularly useful feature in an emergency abroad, communication takes place not in the language of the country in which the vehicle is situated, but in the language which the driver has set in the infotainment system.

Community is at the core of Mercedes-Benz’s global involvement in fashion. From sponsoring a wide spectrum of fashion weeks ranging from Australia and Mexico to Italy and Russia; to our inclusive International Designer Exchange Program (IDEP) that launched nine years ago and connects promising young designers from around the world to an international audience; it’s clear that Mercedes-Benz has a passion for championing emerging design talent.

Mercedes-Maybach stands for the ultimate in exclusivity and individuality. The absolute top-of-the-range model from the luxury brand is the Pullman with vis-à-vis seating behind the partition screen. Now the high-end luxury class from Mercedes-Benz is becoming even more exquisite. A new radiator grille and new exclusive colour combinations in the interior make for a new appearance. The longest model from the S-Class family with a length of 6.50 metres can be ordered starting on 15 March.
