After 125 years of motorsport history, Mercedes-Benz is about to write a new chapter in the upcoming season: at the opening round of the 2019/20 ABB FIA Formula E Championship in Saudi Arabia in late November, two all-electric race cars will be fielded by the Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team for the first time.

The Mercedes-Benz C 111 thrilled both the motoring world and the public when it celebrated its debut at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt/Main 50 years ago.

Items presented at the 2019 IAA in Frankfurt in front of the Festhalle by Mercedes-Benz include innovative wireless headphones, an E-Scooter from the EQ brand family, new model cars and sporty attachment parts for the CLA.

Mercedes-AMG Motorsport can look back on an eventful race weekend during which the European leg of the Formula 1 season came to an end and further successes were achieved in GT racing.

The special ArtVenture models available for the entire Marco Polo family are also brand new and their modern appearance will bring fresh colour to van life.

The Group will be launching almost 70 new electric models in the next ten years.

The successful story of the ID.R began on 24 June 2018, arriving on the scene instantly with a record.

Volkswagen will be rolling out three versions of the ID.

Klaus Bischoff, Head of Volkswagen Design, accepted the awards at yesterday evening’s IAA International Motor Show in Frankfurt.

Volkswagen Sales Board Member Jürgen Stackmann commented: “After the record month of August 2018, the latest figures for Germany and Europe come as no surprise.
