The majority of the world’s population already lives in towns and cities. According to a United Nations forecast, the share will be almost 70 percent by 2050. This has consequences for the volume of traffic and quality of life in the city: a clever mobility mix, the further expansion of electric mobility and other types of zero-emission drive, plus solutions for the more efficient transport of goods are therefore more important than ever.
The goal of the Mercedes-Benz Group is not only to counteract the negative effects of urbanisation. Rather, the Group wants to further improve the quality of life in cities with sustainable mobility and transport solutions. Electric mobility is a key lever in this regard – but not the only one. A comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem of products, services, technologies and innovations is needed.
The Mercedes-Benz Group is facing up to these challenges and is already shaping the transport revolution of tomorrow with intelligent mobility solutions.
