MERCEDES-BENZ

The aim of Mercedes' ambition for 2039 is to achieve carbon-neutral mobility and sustainable transportation. Mercedes envisions a future where their entire vehicle fleet, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles, will be carbon-neutral. This ambitious goal reflects their commitment to combating climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and creating a more sustainable future for mobility.

Mercedes intends to achieve carbon neutrality through various strategies, including the development and production of electric vehicles (EVs) with state-of-the-art battery technology. They plan to expand their EV lineup, offering customers a wider range of sustainable transportation options.

A fully electric future of mobility ¹ 

– Mercedes-Benz is committed to this. A core element of our sustainable business strategy is Ambition 2039, with which we already set the course in 2019 for a holistic approach to climate protection and air pollution control. The ambition is to make our entire fleet of new vehicles net carbon-neutral along the entire value chain and over the vehicles' entire life cycle by 2039 – from technical development to the extraction of raw materials, to production, service life and recycling. By 2030 we aim to at least halve CO₂ emissions per passenger car over the lifecycle by the end of this decade compared to 2020 levels. To achieve this goal, the key levers include electrifying our vehicle fleet, the use of renewable energy in production, improving battery technology, extensive use of recycled materials and charging vehicles with green energy

Mercedes Factory 56

"Factory56", one of the most modern automotive production facilities in the world, entered operation at the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen plant in 2020. It embodies the future of production at Mercedes-Benz and sets new standards for automotive manufacturing. In line with Ambition 2039, Factory 56 is net carbon-neutral and produces with a significantly reduced energy requirement. This is made possible, among other things, by an innovative energy concept with a photovoltaic system, a DC grid and a stationary energy storage system based on recycled vehicle batteries.
