The Road Map to Sustainable Mobility – Daimler offers premium solutions for all mobility.

The Daimler initiative: Playing a key role in shaping emission-free mobility.

The world is changing at a rapid pace – and with it the overall conditions under which automobiles operate. Individual mobility and the transport of goods are basic human requirements, which must be upheld for future generations. We must therefore make road vehicles as sustainable and safe as possible. This guiding principle is our obligation, which entails conserving resources, preventing emissions, and ensuring the highest possible level of road safety. This includes consistently promoting the development of intelligent mobility concepts for urban regions. As the successors to Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, the inventors of the car and the truck, we are passionate in pressing ahead with further innovations – as we have already demonstrated with more than 80,000 patent applications since Carl Benz first presented his Patent Motor Car in 1886.
