Our primary goal is to prevent accidents and reduce the consequences of accidents – through systems that recognise risks, support people in road traffic and actively protect them in extreme cases.
Mercedes-Benz not only invented the automobile, but also many essential safety systems. The basic principles of accident safety still apply today: A combination of crumple zones for energy dissipation, a stable passenger cell serving as a survival space, and restraint systems such as seat belts and airbags, continue to help reduce the consequences of accidents.
We strive to build the safest cars in the world. In this way, we also want to protect others, especially vulnerable road users. But we are going even further: we want new Mercedes-Benz vehicles to cause no more accidents by 2050.
