Electric Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Environmental check

The all-new electric GLC.

March 23, 2026 – Mercedes-Benz has published its 360° Environmental Check for the all-new electric GLC, documenting in detail the environmental performance of this pioneering midsize SUV. The comprehensive lifecycle assessment, verified by independent auditors, reveals how the electrified bestseller achieves a two-thirds reduction in carbon emissions across its entire lifecycle compared to the current combustion-powered GLC.

This remarkable result is thanks to the consistent implementation of carbon reduction measures – from carbon-reduced aluminium to carbon reduction measures in the high-voltage cell. There is also a marked increase in the use of secondary materials, as well as the option of the world’s first certified vegan interior.

It achieves a two-thirds reduction in carbon footprint across its entire lifecycle compared to the current combustion-powered GLC.

For the manufacturing phase alone, the company has negotiated targeted CO₂ reduction measures with suppliers, resulting in a 23 percent overall emissions saving for the GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ Technology (combined energy consumption: 18.9-14.9 kWh/100 km | combined CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km | CO₂ class: A)* during production. These achievements reflect a holistic approach addressing the most carbon-intensive materials and components: battery cells, aluminium, steel and thermoplastics.
