Safety is a core component of Mercedes-Benz’s DNA. Mercedes-Benz is regarded as the inventor of modern vehicle safety – and remains a pioneer in the field to this day. The basis for the company’s commitment is its real-life safety strategy: Besides the prevention of accidents, their outcome is also reduced. Crash tests significantly contribute to road traffic safety.
For more than 50 years, the company’s in-house accident research centre has been investigating accidents involving Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The aim is to understand how accidents happen and which advanced safety systems could have prevented them.
As a technical pioneer, it is our ambition[1]The ambition of the Mercedes-Benz Group is by 2039 to reduce its CO₂ emissions by 90% in its own production, by 80% in the vehicle use phase, where market conditions permit, and by 70% across all relevant stages of the value chain, compared to 2019. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz Group supports qualified climate change mitigation projects that meet recognized standards. By 2049 at the latest, the Mercedes-Benz Group intends to achieve net-zero. Net-zero means that the CO₂ emissions will be reduced by at least 90% compared to 2019. Remaining CO₂ emissions (< 10%) will be neutralized permanently. to develop sustainable mobility solutions for our customers – today and in the future.
As a company founded by engineers, we believe technology can also help to engineer a better future. This is based on innovation along the entire value chain.
