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.
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.
