Mercedes-Benz provides exclusive insights into research activities and future technologies
London, November 25, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) –––Pioneering spirit has been part of Mercedes-Benz DNA for almost 140 years. Through countless innovations, the inventor of the automobile and technology pioneer has continuously paved the way for the development of individual mobility. The VISION EQXX technology programme has already provided a clear preview of efficiency in the forthcoming electric and digital age. However, the journey into the future continues: Mercedes-Benz is constantly researching new technologies to shape the mobility of tomorrow. The company is providing exclusive insights into ongoing research activities aimed at automotive progress far beyond the current period of transformation – innovations for a completely new era of mobility. This includes the development of ground-breaking technologies for a better quality of life and road safety, for more climate protection and resource conservation and for more digital experiences that are hyper-personalised and extend far beyond the vehicle.
Cities drive technical and social innovations
The car is part of today’s society, an integral component of our complex living environment. But what will this look like in the future, especially in cities? Progress is never clearly defined and constantly subject to debate. To recognise social developments and people’s needs at an early stage, Mercedes-Benz has established a global knowledge network with experts from various fields – from sociologists and philosophers to scientists, artists, futurists and architects through to start-ups and high-tech companies. Many people already live, work and spend most of their leisure time in cities. And here, too, is where technical and social innovations generally find their first applications. Mercedes-Benz is therefore in dialogue with cities worldwide, particularly regarding their smart city strategies. The emergence of smart cities will significantly influence the way we travel in urban areas in future – with greater efficiency and sustainability.
Mercedes-Benz future images show how digitalisation and climate change could transform cities
Based on diverse, continuous exchange of knowledge, Mercedes-Benz futurists have developed future images of the cities of London, Los Angeles and Shenzhen in the years beyond 2040. They show examples of how urban areas in Europe, the USA and China could alter as a result of digitalisation and climate change. The speed of transformation varies greatly due to political, cultural, economic and climate conditions. The images created through international collaboration serve as inspiration for possible and desirable futures. The exchange of knowledge and opinion forms the basis for optimum integration of vehicles into the city – and thus the starting point for future Mercedes-Benz cooperations with smart cities.
Mercedes-Benz is increasingly focusing on the use of secondary materials and renewable raw materials in its vehicles. The company is also conducting intensive research into new solutions that are in harmony with nature. One focus here is materials produced using biotechnology. They have enormous potential to replace those derived from crude oil and animals.
