Another milestone achieved earlier this year was the start of the locally-assembled EQS 500, which accelerated the brand’s electric mobility drive.

Under its “Ambition 2039”, Mercedes-Benz is working to make its fleet of new vehicles net carbon-neutral over the vehicles’ entire life cycle by 2039.
