Technology & Innovation
Overview
Driven by tradition: The founders of our company, Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz, ushered in the age of the automobile with their pioneering inventions. Since that time, our innovations have repeatedly set new standards in the global automotive industry, and they will continue to do so in the future. The engine of that progress is the research we conduct – research that anticipates the trends and customer desires and demands that will shape the future of mobility.
Highlights
Initiative “H2 Mobility”: Major companies sign up to hydrogen infrastructure built-up plan in Germany
New fuel cell car from Mercedes-Benz: 100 percent driving pleasure, zero emissions Mercedes-Benz is launching its first series-produced fuel cell car on the road: the B Class F-CELL
Shaping Future Transportation: Initiative which combines all activities of Daimler's commercial vehicle businesses in order to make the transportation of people and goods as sustainable and safe as possible.
"e-Mobility Berlin" - Electric Cars in the Capital: Daimler and RWE have launched "e-mobility Berlin," the world's largest cooperative project for environmentally friendly electric cars.
Features
Electric Drives: Concept E Electric drives are the key to sustainable individual mobility. Daimler is pursuing various concepts here — for example, the BlueZERO concept car, which is close to series production. The vehicle’s three different electric drives utilize the sandwich floor concept.
Assistance Systems Daimler researchers are using radar and video sensors in conjunction with laser scanners to detect dangers even sooner, more precisely, and more reliably. The software that depicts the vehicle’s surroundings in real time is also becoming more sophisticated.
Crash Simulation In this hotspot of the IT sector in India, Daimler engineers create mathematical models that help them to analyze in detail the strains to which the human body is subjected by a simulated crash. The virtual crash dummies they use are known as human body models.
