Volvo Cars, a leader in automotive safety, and Uber, the leading ride-hailing firm, today present a jointly developed production car capable of driving by itself, the next step in the strategic collaboration between both companies.

This is where Mercedes-Benz will be presenting the new Experimental Safety Vehicle ESF 2019 to specialist circles.

Powerful proportions with short overhangs and off-road-oriented design as well as optional 4MATIC all-wheel drive and a special off-road light which helps detect obstacles immediately in front of the vehicle at low speeds – the new Mercedes-Benz GLB is a versatile SUV.

Both vehicles are part of the eActros “Innovation Fleet” for testing the heavy, all-electric truck with various customers.

Jochen Mass drove the final leg “with an eye on the official clock only at the start and finish, but at this stage you feel the minute hand isn’t moving at all”, quoted “auto motor und sport” motoring magazine in its race report in issue 13/1989.

Along with Mercedes-Benz, Lena was guided on her mission by upcycling expert, Creative Director of RÆBURN and Global Creative Director of Timberland, Christopher Raeburn.

I had a crash on Friday, so I was on the backfoot, and then this morning we had an engine problem.

I think we gave it everything today, so I’m not disappointed.

A new concept for child safety in the ESF 2019 Experimental Safety Vehicle which was recently presented by Mercedes-Benz shows how protection for children can be further improved.

The crank assembly with a lightweight, forged steel crankshaft and forged aluminium pistons with optimised piston rings combines low friction with high strength.
