Mercedes-Benz recently took to the world stage as the first car manufacturer to publicly conduct a frontal offset crash between two electric vehicles. The testing is the very first of its kind and was undertaken at the Group’s Technology Center for Vehicle Safety, in Sindelfingen Germany, lcoated in Baden-Württemberg which also homes the Mercedes-Benz production factory. Founded in 1915 by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, the factory, originally built as a German Engineering company, is currently the Groups third largest manufacturing plant, behind Volkswagen’s Wolfsburg plant, and the Audi Plant at Ingolstadt.
Markus Schäfer, Chief Technology Officer, from the board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, went on record stating:-
“We are very pleased with these extraordinary results. These awards prove that our assistance and safety concept, which is tailored to real accident scenarios, has also proven itself in standardised assessments. At the same time, the excellent performance of the E‑Class as a plug-in hybrid and the all-electric EQE SUV in Euro NCAP confirms that the quality of assisted driving at Mercedes‑Benz is not a question of the drive concept.”
