From the company’s earliest days, the development of fundamental technologies for particularly efficient, environmentally compatible vehicles has been a recurring theme in the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks has been the first to bring numerous relevant technologies to production and market maturity, and continues to develop them further, even to the level of alternative technologies such as hybrids and fuel-cell drive systems.

Outstanding innovations have been regarded as milestones in the development of more efficient and environmentally compatible commercial vehicles.

The Mercedes-Benz powertrain strategy not only offers an impressively wide range of available technologies, but also the greatest possible flexibility in their use.
