Our Mercedes-Benz 2020 strategy is paying off. The brand with the
star was the fastest-growing premium brand in 2013 selling more than
1.5 million cars more than ever before. And we will continue to build
on our momentum in 2014 by introducing eight new car models.
with top players.
The new S-Class is the best-selling luxury sedan in the world.
Both customers and the automotive press agree that this vehicle
is not only an S-Class by name, but its 100 percent S-Class!
An attractive S-Class coup will follow this year.
Yet 2014 is first and foremost the year of the C-Class. Our highest
volume model series will - for the first time ever - be produced on four
continents: in Bremen/Germany, Beijing/China, Tuscaloosa/USA,
and in East London/South Africa.
for new fans.
Were also playing offense in the compact car class. Our GLA
targets younger customers in the growth segment of compact SUVs.
Were also strengthening our game even more at smart with the
rollout of the new fortwo and forfour. Best of all, our product offensive
is nowhere near finished in 2014!

Mercedes-Benz Cars.
The Mercedes-Benz 2020 growth strategy is proving successful.

Mercedes-Benz set a new sales record for the third consecutive year
in 2013, when more than 1.46 million Mercedes-Benz brand
vehicles (+10.7 percent) were delivered to customers. Production
volume also increased from the prior year, to 1.49 million.
Mercedes-Benz launched the new E-Class and the compact CLA
four-door coup in April 2013. The CLA thus joins the A- and B-Class
as the third member of the compact car family. More than 370,000
customers opted to purchase a compact model from the brand with
the star in 2013 an increase of 64 percent from the prior year. The
A- and CLA-Class in particular are attracting new customer groups to
the brand; half of all customers who purchased a vehicle from the two
model series previously drove a car from another manufacturer. The
S-Class once again became the worlds best-selling luxury sedan just
a few weeks after the model changeover in the summer of 2013. The
flagship model of the Mercedes-Benz brand has thus maintained its
leadership in the luxury sedan segment throughout its entire nine-year
lifecycle. Thanks to Mercedes-Benz successful model offensive the
brand has entered 2014 with its youngest model range since 2009.
Last year was a very important one for Mercedes-Benz passenger car
business in China. The brand has achieved sustained growth in the
country since the new Beijing Mercedes-Benz Sales Service Co.
Ltd. (BMBS) sales company began operating in March 2013. The
launch of the A-Class in the spring of 2013 and the premiere of the
long-wheelbase E-Class and the new S-Class in the fall have brought
three important model series to China. The Chinese market now
accounts for more than half of all S-Class sales worldwide. This makes
China the worlds biggest market for the S-Class, which has been
tailored to the requirements of Chinese customers. China is also now
one of the worlds biggest markets for the E-Class. In view of these
developments, Mercedes-Benz is significantly expanding its dealership network in China. A total of 75 new outlets opened in China in
2013, including 36 in cities where the brand had previously not been
available.
Mercedes-Benz believes it has everything in place to ensure another
record year in 2014. Customers can look forward to a whole series of
fascinating new product highlights. The year began with the world
premiere of the all-new C-Class. It is the first Mercedes-Benz model
built in line with the slogan Four Continents. One Passion. The
slogan refers to the models production in Germany, the USA, South
Africa, and China. The new C-Class features include many new

Mercedes-Benz Cars.
Mercedes-Benz supplemented its global product offensive in the summer

of 2013 with the launch of its Mercedes-Benz 2020 Best Customer
Experience sales and marketing initiative. The initiative aligns the
focus of the brands sales organization more strongly with customers
changing needs. One measure taken here was to step up the brands
presence in inner-city locations in order to directly engage customers and the general public. Roughly 20 Mercedes-Benz city stores
were set up for this purpose. The most recent outlets opened in Tokyo
in 2011, in Milan in 2012, and in Osaka in 2013. Plans call for the
number of city stores to double to more than 40 outlets worldwide by
2020. Additional customer contact points are offered by temporary
sales formats, such as the Mercedes-Benz Pavilion that was set up in
Warsaw during the summer of 2013 and attracted more than 20,000
visitors. It was the venue for over 80 events that were followed by
thousands of Facebook users. For many of those in attendance, the
events marked their first contact ever with the premium brand.
In order to provide customers with a standardized image of the Best
Customer Experience in communications and external advertising,
the premium automaker from Stuttgart has created a new Mercedes
me brand that brings together all available and future service and
mobility solutions. Mercedes me offers innovative and customerfocused all-round services that go beyond the automobile product.
The brand focuses consistently on the customer and makes interaction
with Mercedes-Benz more transparent, attractive, and comfortable.
It sets new standards for personal customer care.
Online vehicle sales are also an integral component of the new
sales and marketing initiative. In December 2013, Mercedes-Benz
became the first premium manufacturer to offer new vehicles via
the Internet. More than 60,000 people visited the brands online
platform in the first four weeks alone. The new digital sales channel
supplements traditional retail outlets and offers a good opportunity
to address young and Internet-savvy customer groups in particular.
It also ensures the Mercedes-Benz brand is always available to serve
new and existing customers, regardless of where they happen to be.

assistance systems from the S- and E-Class. In line with the

Mercedes-Benz brand claim The best or nothing, the model sets
new standards in the premium mid-range segment. The market
launch of the compact GLA, which celebrated its world premiere at
the IAA 2013 auto show, further extends the new compact model
family. These vehicles have enjoyed widespread recognition and great
success among young target groups in particular. With its launch of
the new S-Class coup in mid-2014, Mercedes-Benz will continue the
long and successful tradition of large coups and once again set the
standard for modern luxury at the top of the model range.
Mercedes-Benz has enjoyed continual success in social networks

since 2007, when the brand launched its digital marketing activities
and also established a professional journalist presence in the evermore influential social-networking scene. The goal here is to engage
online information multipliers regardless of the digital channels
they use in an open dialogue that brings them into closer contact
with Mercedes-Benz, its products, and the people behind the brand.
Conversely, social networking helps the brand learn about the needs
and wishes of existing and potential customers. From the beginning,
Mercedes-Benz made a major effort to establish viable relationships
in social networks and thus effectively address modern target groups
in a new way. Today, Mercedes-Benz has sustainable professional
relationships with numerous international online opinion-makers
in areas ranging from the automotive industry to the technology,
fashion, design, and lifestyle sectors. The brand invites these people
not only to its social media events and dialogue platforms, but also to
traditional events, such as press driving presentations, auto shows,
workshops, and TecDays. Mercedes-Benz Social Publish, which was
launched in 2012, is a popular service for bloggers and online journalists who do not restrict themselves to traditional media sites when
looking for inspiration concerning automobiles and their technology
and design (www.socialpublish.mercedes-benz.com).
Mercedes-Benz is now one of the most successful brands in the
social web a fact confirmed by several independent studies in 2013,
including studies conducted by eBench and SocialBakers. Success
here is not measured solely by the number of fans and followers a site
has but also, and more importantly, by the degree of interaction with
people via various platforms throughout the social web. For example,
the brand with the star has the most dedicated Instagram fans among
all automakers worldwide. This is due in part to quirky campaigns
Sensual purity as an expression of modern luxury this is the

Mercedes-Benz design philosophy, and the focus of all its design
work. The goal is to create clear contours and smooth surfaces that
convey a high-tech message while also eliciting emotions. Its important to also bring this bipolarity of the Mercedes-Benz brand to life
in the vehicles, even as designers lend each model series its distinctive character in line with the attributes that form the core design
of the model. Nevertheless, a Mercedes-Benz is always recognizable
as a Mercedes-Benz because along with incorporating new stylistic
developments, the designers draw from a gene pool of typical brand
styling features in order to keep the brand tradition alive. In addition
to their work with automobiles, the brands designers also design other
products that they develop in cooperation with selected partners
under the Mercedes-Benz Style label. The complete Mercedes-Benz
Style portfolio can be viewed at www.mercedes-benz-style.com.
Mercedes-Benz also underscores its commitment to a distinctive style
and trend-setting design through its involvement in fashion activities worldwide. The brand is currently active in 44 fashion platforms
in 28 countries. The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam,
Mercedes-Benz Stylo Asia Fashion Week, and Shooting Fashion Stars
Prague platforms were added in 2013. Through its presence at the
most important international fashion events, Mercedes-Benz sends a
clear signal that unique styling and visionary design are key components of the brands philosophy.
Mercedes-Benz commitment to social responsibility is demonstrated
by the brands support of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation,
which assists more than 1.5 million underprivileged children and
teenagers around the world by funding over 140 sports projects. The
Laureus Academy also honors the worlds best athletes every year
with the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards. Award winners
in 2013 included the European Ryder Cup team and track-and-field
athletes Usain Bolt from Jamaica and Jessica Ennis from the UK.
Mercedes-Benz is once again extensively involved in German sports
activities in 2014. The brand has launched a campaign known as
Bereit wie nie (Readier than Ever) to support the German national
soccer teams efforts to win this years World Cup in Brazil. The slogan
expresses the teams unconditional commitment of its full potential to
capturing the title this year. The brand has been a partner of the German Football Federation since 1972 and its general sponsor since
1990. The partnership was renewed for another seven years in 2011.
Mercedes-Benz is also very active in golf as a partner of three of
the four major tournaments (Masters, Open Championship, and PGA
Championship) and of the Ryder Cup. In the area of amateur sports,
the MercedesTrophy premium golf tournament series will be held
in 2014 for the 25th time and feature more than 65,000 players
worldwide. Mercedes-Benz is also involved in tennis and equestrian
sports and has been supporting the Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe
foundation in Germany for many years. The brand has been the foundations national sponsor since 2008.
Mercedes-AMG
AMG these three letters are a symbol around the globe for exclusive
high-performance automobiles that deliver a dynamic driving experience. The company, which was founded in 1967 by Hans Werner
Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2012.
With its impressive success in motor sports and its unique vehicles,
AMG has rightfully earned its reputation as the successful sports and
high-performance brand from Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-AMG, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG, spearheads the development
of high-performance technology at the Group. The AMG brand claim of
Driving Performance has been guaranteeing the most sophisticated
technology and pure driving fascination for 47 years.
The SLS AMG super sports car developed independently by
Mercedes-AMG has become a brand icon since its initial presentation
in 2009. The SLS AMG is a coveted model around the world. This
is largely due to its motor sports success in the form of the SLS AMG
GT3, as well as the great variety the series offers with its coup,
roadster, GT, SLS AMG Black Series coup, and the Final Edition, which
was unveiled in the fall of 2013. AMG has also impressively demonstrated its innovative capability with the SLS AMG Electric Drive super
sports coup, which boasts a unique drive system solution.
The former two-man operation now employs more than 1,200 people
in Affalterbach and sold approximately 32,200 vehicles last year, making
2013 the best year in the companys history. This dynamic growth
was made possible by an expansion of the product range and the companys entry into attractive new segments. For example, AMG now
offers three new models for the compact segment: the sporty A 45 AMG
(165-161 g CO2/km, fuel consumption, combined: 7.1-6.9 l/100 km
[automatic transmission]), the CLA 45 AMG (165-161 g CO2/km,
fuel consumption, combined: 7.1-6.9 l/100 km [automatic transmission])

functionality, and a lust for life. Thanks to their unconventional design
and high technological standards, smart vehicles are perfect for city
driving both as conventional smarts or electric cars. In its effort to
develop the best urban mobility solutions, smart questions the status

Our mission
Road Map to Sustainable Mobility.
The challenges
In the future, private transport will have to meet increasingly diversified
and complex requirements, including those associated with growing
urbanization and increased networking.
Mercedes-Benz Cars is exploiting all possibilities to improve its

vehicles and drive systems.
The potential harbored in all development areas is being tapped
from lightweight construction and optimized aerodynamics to the
electrification of ancillary components.
The 3D Body Engineering program pools all measures that provide
maximum safety while also making vehicles light and aerodynamic,
and thus more efficient.
Daimler also is committed to the use of clean and alternative fuels.
A broad range of drive systems for creating tailored customer
solutions
Optimization of vehicles with state-of-the-art, high-tech combustion
engines.
Further increases in efficiency through tailored hybridization with
various output ratings and for different applications.
Driving with zero local emissions using fuel cell or battery technology.
These technologies have been an integral part of the Mercedes-Benz
Cars drive system strategy for years now. Depending on the respective area of application and customer profile, they make an optimal
contribution to sustainable mobility. All the technologies are consistently transferred to series-produced products.

Mobility
of the Future
Strategy for sustainable mobility

The strategy at Mercedes-Benz Cars encompasses all activities related
to the vehicle and the drive system that are designed to conserve
resources and reduce emissions throughout the entire value creation
process. The outstanding comfort and safety typical of Mercedes
vehicles remain unchanged here.
Optimization of vehicles with state-of-the-art, high-tech combustion engines

The current generations of gasoline and diesel engines clearly
demonstrate that combustion engines can remain attractive drive
systems if they are consistently further developed i.e. become
more fuel-efficient while at the same time offering higher performance and smooth operation.
Emissions are reduced in all model series. Examples include
the BlueEFFICIENCY Edition of the A 180 CDI (92 g CO2/km, fuel

GLA 200 CDI (119-114 g CO2/km, fuel consumption, combined:
5.5-5.4 l/100 km [manual transmission], 5.3-5.2 l/100 km
[automatic transmission]), and the E 200 NGD in natural gas mode
(120-116 g CO2/km, fuel consumption, combined: 5.9-5.8 l/100 km

Mercedes-Benz Cars has more than 100 vehicles across all
segments that have been certified Efficiency Class A+ or A.
More than 45 percent of its vehicles already comply with the EU6
emission standard, and this figure will climb to over 50 percent
throughout 2014.
Local zero-emission driving: Electric vehicles with fuel cells or

batteries
Electric vehicles are powered by an electric motor. The electricity is
either supplied by a rechargeable battery or directly by an onboard
fuel cell.
Both fuel cell and battery electric vehicles are quiet, highly
efficient, and produce no local emissions.
With a total of eight models, Daimler offers a range of locally emission-free vehicles that is unique in the automotive industry. These
vehicles include passenger cars, vans, light trucks, and a bus. As a
result, Daimler can meet almost every road mobility requirement.
The models are the:
smart fortwo electric drive including the BRABUS Variant
Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL
Mercedes-Benz A-Class E-CELL
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coup Electric Drive
Mercedes-Benz Vito E-CELL panel van and crewbus
Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-HYBRID
Fuso Canter E-CELL
Freightliner Custom Chassis MT E-CELL All-Electric
An additional model will be added to the electric fleet in 2014:
the Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive.
Mobility
of the Future
Hybridization of vehicles with efficient combustion engines

The modular hybrid system from Mercedes-Benz allows customer
requirements to be met with tailored solutions. Hybrid modules
that have various output ratings and are linked to a variety of
batteries can be combined with our most commonly manufactured gasoline and diesel engines. Features here range from the
user-friendly start-stop function to energy boosting/recovery and
purely electric driving. Another option is the PLUG-IN HYBRID, in
which batteries can be recharged at normal power outlets in order
to increase the electric range.
Mercedes-Benz Cars currently offers vehicles such as the
E300 BlueTEC HYBRID (110-107 g CO2/km, fuel consumption,
combined: 4.2-4.1 l/km [automatic transmission]) as upperrange hybrid models. With the introduction of the new C-Class,
hybrid technology will be offered in all of the core model series
in the future.
The new S-Class is available in three hybrid variants: Since
2013 customers have been able to choose from the S 400 HYBRID
(159-147 g CO2/km, fuel consumption, combined: 6.1-5.8 l/km
[automatic transmission]) and the S 300 BlueTEC HYBRID
(124-115 g CO2/km, fuel consumption, combined: 5.1-4.8 l/km
[manual transmission], 5.2-4.9 l/km [automatic transmission]).
These models will be followed in 2014 by the S 500 PLUG-IN
HYBRID (market introduction in the second half of the year). As
a result, the S-Class will set a fuel efficiency record for luxury
sedans that would have been considered almost unthinkable just
a few years ago. Thanks to a synchronous electric motor, the
S-Class can travel many kilometers solely on electricity.
Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive

Takes a Further Step Toward
Accident-Free and Autonomous
Driving.
Sensors notice everything

The basis for the new systems is an innovative stereo camera and an
algorithm developed by Mercedes-Benz. The stereo camera system
offers a 360 view and generates precise images of the vehicles
surroundings. The data collected and an intelligent merged sensor
system allow Intelligent Drive to assess driving situations, recognize
potential dangers, and support drivers in fractions of a second with
appropriate measures, such as autonomous braking maneuvers and
clear acoustic or visual warnings.
The future begins today
Intelligent Drive also enables initial semi-autonomous driving
functions. For example, DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and
Stop&Go Pilot helps drivers maintain a set distance to a vehicle
in front and keep their own vehicle in the center of the lane. It thus
enables autonomous driving in slow-moving traffic and its
already available in new S-, E-, and C-Class production cars.
The goals Mercedes-Benz is pursuing with Intelligent Drive and the
huge potential harbored by technologies already available today were
put on display in 2013.
Anniversary of the first long-distance automobile journey

celebrated with the S 500 INTELLIGENT DRIVE
Mobility
of the Future
In pursuit of its goal of accident-free and autonomous driving,

Mercedes-Benz is continually improving the performance and capabilities of its driver assistance systems. Numerous systems with new and
expanded features are now serving as active partners that can assist
drivers in an increasing number of situations, thereby enhancing both
driver comfort and safety. These systems are the backbone of the
Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive concept.
In August 2013, Mercedes-Benz became the worlds first automaker

to prove that autonomous driving is possible both in cities and on
country roads. The brand sent its S 500 INTELLIGENT DRIVE (213199 g CO2/km, fuel consumption, combined: 5.9-5.5 l/km [automatic
transmission]) research vehicle on a historic journey that retraced
the roughly 100-kilometer route from Mannheim to Pforzheim taken
by Bertha Benz 125 years before, when she became the first person
to complete such a long trip in an automobile. In the heavy traffic of
the 21st century the self-driving S-Class had to autonomously master
difficult challenges posed by traffic lights, traffic circles, pedestrians,
cyclists, and streetcars. The knowledge gained from this landmark
journey will not only be incorporated into Mercedes-Benz research
and development activities; it will also help to continually optimize
assistance systems in the brands production vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz assistance systems with partly autonomous

driving features
DISTRONIC/DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control (1998/2005):
The adaptive cruise control was introduced in 1998 and upgraded
with improved radar sensors in 2005. The system automatically
maintains a safe distance to the vehicle ahead. It can also autonomously brake and accelerate the vehicle.
PRE-SAFE Brake (2006): The system can automatically initiate
a braking maneuver in order to prevent a collision (autonomous
partial and emergency braking).
Active Blind Spot Assist (2010): The system recognizes whether the
adjacent lane is occupied and can independently brake the vehicle
to reduce the risk of a collision during a lane change.
Active Lane Keeping Assist (2010): When linked with ESP, the
system brakes the wheels opposite the direction in which the vehicle
is inadvertently drifting over a solid or broken line, thereby keeping
the car in its lane.
Active Parking Assist (2010): An electric mechanical direct steering
feature guides the vehicle into parking spaces.
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot (2013):
Helps drivers maintain a set distance to a vehicle in front and keep
their own vehicle in the center of the lane, which enables autonomous
driving in slow-moving traffic.
BAS PLUS Brake Assist with Cross-Traffic Assist (2013):
Detects crossing traffic and pedestrians and boosts braking force.
The networked world is leading to greater flexibility and freedom. In its role as an automotive pioneer, Daimler is harnessing
the tremendous innovation potential of the interfaces between
communication and mobility.
The Digital DriveStyle app has long since become a feature of
Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Internet connectivity and the integration
of mobile devices, innovative telematics systems, and numerous
apps from Mercedes-Benz enable various forms of communication
in the vehicle. Online services are also making access to mobility
systems and electric mobility solutions easier and more efficient.
The COMAND multimedia system and the Digital DriveStyle app for
iPhones bring the digital world to vehicles driven by Mercedes-Benz
customers. The brands graphic user interface currently supports
the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, and 5S, and will also be able to accommodate
most Android smartphones before the end of 2014. In addition, any
other phone with the DUN (DialUpNetworking) and PAN (PersonalAreaNetworking) Bluetooth profiles can be used to make calls, send
and receive texts, and download audio streams.
The vehicle as part of the Internet of Things
Mercedes-Benz is already demonstrating today how intelligently networked vehicles will become part of the future Internet of Things and
offer value-added services to customers. Customized applications
optimized specifically for use in vehicles are already being developed in
cooperation with strategic partners from Silicon Valley. For example, a
future modification to the Digital DriveStyle app will allow Mercedes-Benz
drivers to use a Pebble smartwatch to remotely access their vehicle
in order to find out how much fuel it has left, where its parked, and
even whether its locked or not. A partnership with Nest Labs will
enable Mercedes drivers to control temperature settings in their home
or office right from their car.
With its eyes firmly on the world of the day after tomorrow,
Mercedes-Benz has also launched a program known as Predictive
User Experience that will transform vehicles into intelligent
companions that recognize the moods, wishes, and preferences
of their drivers and passengers, thereby enabling cars to predict
commands.

The fascinating Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Super Sports Car is available
as a coup or roadster; both are a perfect synthesis of distinctive styling,
superior handling dynamics, and Mercedes-Benz hallmark practicality and
safety in everyday use.
Highlights
The design of the SLS AMG fascinates with its striking sportiness and
reinterprets the styling of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.
The SLS AMG is a brand icon that is very popular with customers in its
segment. More than 10,000 SLS AMGs have been handed over to customers
since the first super sports car was launched on the market in the spring
of 2010.
Whereas the SLS AMG Coup sets a stylistic highlight with its distinctive
gull-wing doors, the SLS AMG roadster expands the model family with an
open-top variant of the dream car.
The emphatically athletic Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT offers even better
racetrack performance and more dynamic handling.
The SLS AMG Coup Black Series is the super sporty high-end version of
the gull-wing car. It impresses with its breathtaking design, outstanding
handling properties, and consistent lightweight construction.
Mercedes-AMG has ushered in a new era with the SLS AMG Coup Electric
Drive. Because the automobile also contains high-tech systems from
Formula 1 racecars, getting behind the wheel of this locally emission-free
super sports car is the most exclusive and dynamic way to drive an electrically powered vehicle. The most powerful AMG high-performance vehicle
of all time has four electric motors with a total output of 552 kW and a
maximum torque of 1,000 Nm. Its electric power consumption (NEDC) is
26.8 kWh/100 km at 0,0 g CO2/km.
