[Learn More]( [Read More About The IAA Show]( Progress is impossible without change, which is why our sights are set on an all‑electric vehicle line‑up by the close of this decade. A century ago, owning a private car was uncommon. Outlandish, even. Today, for a future where we can all co‑exist, we must normalize progress. We’re ramping up research and development and investing over $46 billion over the next 10 years toward electric vehicle architecture. With plans in motion to advance battery capacity and set global standards for the ease of public charging, Mercedes‑Benz is on track to advance electric mobility by leaps and bounds. Recently, at the International Mobility Show (IAA) in Munich, Germany, five fully electric Mercedes‑EQ vehicles made their global premiere for the US market: the EQE, EQB, AMG EQS, plus the EQG Concept and Mercedes‑Maybach EQS Concept. Transitioning to electric will be no easy feat, but a crucial step in cultivating a more sustainable future.

At the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California, the caliber of vehicles on display is nothing short of breathtaking. Now in its 70th year, this annual event celebrates the finest antique automobiles around the world. We’re proud to have been awarded “Best in Show” for the 1938 Mercedes‑Benz 540 K Autobahn Kurier. Yet, our focus this year was the history of our SL Roadster. We displayed the 1952 300 SL with its iconic gullwing doors, the 1957 300 SL Roadster and the 2003 Mercedes‑AMG SL 55 — each a legend in their own right. The storied history of the SL began in the 1950s and paved the way for Mercedes‑Benz sports cars in the United States. Soon, that iconic tradition will continue with the all‑new 2022 AMG SL, releasing next year.

[Explore the Center]( Here at the Immendingen Test Center in Germany, Mercedes‑Benz innovations are born. Once a military site, this expansive land was transformed in 2015 to become one of Daimler’s exemplary simulation tracks, testing real world scenarios. Before the conversion, extensive measures went into protecting surrounding plants and animals. A 121‑ft wide wildlife bridge and 81‑acre tunnel were established to preserve the surrounding biological diversity. From there, 35 miles of test tracks were built. The topography and terrain of each track simulates a different driving condition to research and optimize. Rough country roads, straight highways, city streets, mountainous off‑roading, a winding asphalt racing circuit — all advancing our capabilities in the fields of autonomous, electric, connected and more.
