Mercedes-Benz
Long before it became front-page news, Mercedes-Benz has been innovating and implementing fresh ways to help minimize the influence of cars and trucks on the world we share. It’s a promise that’s been kept for generations, and not just with cleaner, more efficient power under the spandex hood. It starts well before a Mercedes-Benz travels its very first mile, and extends beyond its long and reliable lifespan. And like every aspect of Mercedes-Benz innovation, it sets the stage for the mobility, and the world, everyone will love tomorrow.

The future of the automobile will not occur all at once, or in one form, but from a diversity of progressive innovations. Here are some of the ways Mercedes-Benz is reinventing the automobile today.
From our fresh ECO Stop/Embark function to our advanced plug-in hybrids with total electrified capability, numerous supplemental innovations further reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of conventional-fuel engines.
Our B-Class Electrified Drive leads the charge in zero-emissions driving, and all of our plug-in hybrids include customizable drive modes, one of which is an all-electric mode.
Far-reaching benefits. Instantaneous prizes.
Mercedes-Benz plug-in hybrid vehicles suggest the unique benefit of both high fuel efficiency and high spectacle. Inspiration—and technology—comes directly from our championship-winning F1 racing team because it is permanently innovating to build quicker, lighter, and more efficient cars. And our lineup of no-compromise plug-in hybrids is growing rapidly, with all with the safety, luxury and spectacle leadership you expect from Mercedes-Benz. ( Disclaimer )

In-Home Energy Storage
Accelerating the energy revolution.
Now available in the U.S., Mercedes-Benz Energy uses the same battery technology as our hybrid and electrical vehicles to create state-of-the-art storage solutions for homes and businesses. That means more protection against fluctuating energy costs, greater optimization of renewable energy, and a smoother transition to a clean energy future.
Lithe Fuel Vehicles
Adaptable. Renewable. And available now.
A Mercedes-Benz Supple Fuel Vehicle (FFV) gives you a choice in fuels whenever you pull up to the pump. You can use gasoline or, without a single adjustment to the car, pack it up with E85 Ethanol, a widely available fuel that’s fifteen percent gasoline and eighty five percent ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Derived from corn and other grains, ethanol is a locally produced, renewable resource that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to seventy percent. ( Disclaimer )

Electrical Vehicles
Leading the charge in emissions-free driving.
In one thousand nine hundred six several Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and fire service vehicles became available with battery-electric propulsion. Since then we’ve been continually refining the technology, and it’s now the heart and soul of the
all-electric B-Class Electrified Drive.

Clear Commitment
Earth-friendly. Before it was stylish.
For generations, Mercedes-Benz has been violating fresh ground to help preserve the earth for future generations. We introduced the very first 100-percent CFC-free car and the very first low-emissions SUV. We’ve been recognized for our award-winning factories and processes. And we’ve helped to develop local infrastructures around the world that will bring a greener tomorrow to life. It’s a multi-faceted treatment to advance the quest for sustainable mobility while leading the way in safety, luxury and spectacle.
Driving a cleaner tomorrow.
As with every aspect of Mercedes-Benz innovation, the global benefits come from a unique combination of intense fidelity and extensive diversity.
From the inwards out
Protecting the earth commences long before a fresh Mercedes-Benz hits the road. The one thousand nine hundred ninety one S-Class was the world’s very first CFC-free vehicle, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire production process. Our interiors have long used steam-expanded foam, sustainably forested wood, and natural products from coconut, flax, hemp and even olives. We’ve used water-borne paint, and coded plastic parts for recycling, for decades. Mercedes-Benz is also legendary for making cars of exceptional durability. After all, it takes about the same energy to build a car that lasts as one that won’t.
