This solution is based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, incorporating a racking system which operates according to the first-in first-out principle. Starting with the latest generation Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Big Limo transforms Europe’s proven, reliable workhorse into a vehicle offering unmatched value, productivity, comfort, and the highest levels of occupant protection. The aim is to introduce a competitive fuel cell powered electric vehicle to market in 2017. It is envisaged that significant further progress will have been made by then, in particular towards creating a sustainable infrastructure - not least as a result of Daimler's high level of involvement in various demonstration projects and within the framework of the H2 Mobility Initiative. In early 2013, in a bid to speed up the widespread market availability of this emission-free technology and to reduce investment costs, Daimler, Ford and Nissan reached a cooperation agreement covering the joint development of a fuel cell system. In cooperation with Starship Technologies, an innovative delivery robot start-up, Mercedes-Benz Vans is transforming the van into a mobile goods depot and a distribution centre for automated last-mile delivery systems.
Another prominent example is the cooperation with the innovative delivery drone start-up Matternet, which is based in Menlo Park, California. End customers are additionally able to adapt deliveries to their needs, rescheduling the delivery time when their plans for the day change, for example. Key to this are new levels of connectivity plus new telematic systems grouped under the Mercedes PRO heading. Of the 36 vehicles tested during 2012, the eight top-performers in their segments have been recommended by Euro NCAP for their leading levels of safety across a range of assessments. The Hyundai New Generation Santa Fe has been named as the safest car in its class assessed by Euro NCAP during 2012. Its scores across all test categories were best-in-class, making it one of the safest vehicles ever tested by the independent vehicle assessment organisation and the best in the ‘Large Off-Road 4x4’ segment -ahead of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and Range Rover.
In the ‘adult occupant’ category, New Generation Santa Fe scored 96% with maximum points in the side barrier test. In the same year, Mass made his Formula 1 debut in the Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone, driving for the Surtees team. At the same time, it is important to maintain a clear record of such patients, to facilitate further treatments. But, take a deeper dive into the mechanics of the US truck market and it becomes fairly clear why the X-Class, at least for now, isn't coming to America. Once the driver has indicated a turn for at least two seconds, Active Lane-change Assist assists with steering into the adjacent lane if it detects that the lane is unoccupied. BMW today released details and pictures of the 2-series Active Tourer, a minivan rival to the Mercedes-Benz B class that will be the brand's first front-wheel-drive vehicle. Additional DRIVE PILOT innovations include, for the first time, Active Lane-change Assist.
The 2-series Active Tourer will also be the first BMW to offer a three-cylinder engine -- a new turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline engine that is also available on the Mini. The 2 series Active Tourer has luggage capacity that can be enlarged to 1,510 liters from 468 liters. The 2-series Active Tourer combines comfort and functionality with BMW's driving dynamics, BMW said in a statement. Among them, the Active Brake Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist. This radar-and-camera-based system assists the driver when changing lanes on multi-lane roads and can steer the vehicle into the lane selected by the driver - when overtaking, for example. The van study is an example of intelligent communication between the vehicle, the driver and their surroundings. Options in the E500 sedan include radar-controlled Distronic adaptive cruise control, which maintains a set distance from cars ahead; Keyless Go, a credit card-sized transmitter which allows unlocking the doors and starting the car by touching the door handle and the gear selector; Parktronic obstacle warning, which helps with parking and enhances safety by alerting the driver to objects in front of and behind the car.
