February 2, 2024
Mercedes-Benz continues its commitment to environmental transparency with the latest "360° environmental check" for the new E-Class, specifically the E 300 e model. This comprehensive assessment delves into the ecological footprint of the vehicle, verified by independent assessors, showcasing Mercedes-Benz's dedication to sustainability since 2005.
 
Renewable Energy Impact:
The 360° environmental check emphasizes the impact of using renewable energy to charge the E 300 e plug-in hybrid. Through a comparative analysis of two scenarios – renewable sources versus the conventional EU electricity mix – Mercedes-Benz highlights a nearly 50% reduction in CO? emissions over the vehicle's entire lifecycle when powered by renewable energy.
 
Plug-In Hybrid Advancements:
Since the launch of the new E-Class, Mercedes-Benz has introduced three fourth-generation plug-in hybrid models, including the E 300 e with an extended electric range of up to 118 kilometers (WLTP). The intelligent operating strategy optimizes the electric-drive mode based on factors such as navigation data, topography, and speed limits, enhancing the overall driving experience.
 
Electrification Milestones:
All drivetrains in the new E-Class are electrified, featuring mild hybrids with 48-volt technology and plug-in hybrids. Mercedes-Benz's commitment to sustainable mobility is evident, with fully electric vehicles available in all segments since 2022.
 
Resource-Conserving Materials:
Mercedes-Benz incorporates resource-conserving materials in the new E-Class, with 175 components weighing 99 kilograms manufactured from recycled polymers and renewable raw materials. Innovations like MICROCUT microfibre and recycled materials in seat foam contribute to reducing the reliance on fossil resources.
 
Ambition 2039 and Carbon Neutrality:
As a champion of the Paris Climate Accord, Mercedes-Benz aims for net carbon neutrality throughout its value chain for new vehicles by 2039. Achieving this goal involves addressing climate impact from development to recycling, emphasizing the company's dedication to sustainability.
 
Net Carbon-Neutral Production:
Mercedes-Benz has achieved net carbon neutrality in production since the beginning of 2022, covering 45% of energy consumption with renewable sources. The company's global objective is to transition to 100% renewable energy with zero CO? emissions by 2039, including at the Sindelfingen plant where the E-Class is produced.
 
Decarbonizing the Supplier Network:
Mercedes-Benz's Ambition Letter requires suppliers to commit to supplying net carbon-neutral products by 2039. This strategic approach ensures that suppliers align with the company's climate targets, contributing to a reduction in emissions along the supply chain.
 
Circular Economy in Battery Systems:
Mercedes-Benz focuses on the circular economy in battery technology, with plans for a battery recycling factory based on hydrometallurgy. This initiative aims to achieve a recycling quota of over 96%, showcasing the brand's commitment to sustainable practices.
 
The new E-Class not only represents a pinnacle of automotive luxury and performance but also stands as a testament to Mercedes-Benz's unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. The 360° environmental check unveils a holistic approach towards sustainability, setting a precedent for the automotive industry. As Mercedes-Benz strives for Ambition 2039, the E-Class emerges as a beacon of eco-friendly innovation, driving towards a future of carbon-neutral mobility.
