Everyone’s talking about the economic crisis — we’re doing something about it. At Mercedes-Benz, we know that
the best antidotesto the crisis are first-class products. Our new E-Class is a superb example. Thanks to its environmentally friendly engines, innovative safety systems, striking design and unique comfort, it sets a new standard. That doesn’t necessarily mean we’re immune
to bad times — but what counts most today is a feature that has always made Mercedes-Benz strong: the power to change things for the better. This quality has enabled us to continue developing automobiles that set technological benchmarks and captivate emotions. We invented the automobile — and we will re-invent it all over again. The key factors here
are good ideas.We put them on the road. You can learn the details in this brochure. Pleasant reading!

most important success factors of a brand. Besides the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, the Stuttgart-based automaker also serves as the title sponsor of the fashion weeks in New York, Miami, Mexico City and Brisbane. Mercedes-Benz also has a presence in the fashion centres of Paris and Milan. Today, Mercedes-Benz is involved in fashion events in more than 20 countries on five continents. Mercedes-Benz is the partner and chief sponsor of a unique sustainability
project: the four-year PANGAEA expedition of Mike Horn.
Sports Outstanding achievements, expressive emotions, enthusiasm and
authenticity are not only attributes of the world of sports but also val-ues embodied by the Mercedes-Benz brand since its beginnings. Sports sponsorship has therefore played an important role at
Mercedes-Benz for many years now. The company has had a close partnership with the German Football Association for the past 35 years. Mercedes-Benz is also involved in the sponsorship of golf and equestrian sports. For Mercedes-Benz, sports sponsorship is a key component of the
brand’s social commitment to improving intercultural dialogue. An exam-ple of this is the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, through which disadvantaged children and teenagers receive support in more than 60 social sports projects worldwide. Mercedes-Benz has been supporting the Deutsche Sporthilfe foundation for many years and has served as its national sponsor since 2008.
Tradition The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart displays 160 historic
vehicles of the Mercedes-Benz brand, ranging from the world’s first automobiles and the legendary Silver Arrows to exhibits about the present and future state of mobility. As the inventor of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz supports key
automotive events, such as the Mille Miglia, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. In doing so, it makes the brand’s fascinating nature visible on the road. Through its “Young Classics” project, Mercedes-Benz will further
expand its expertise in the young classics segment this year. In 2009, Mercedes-Benz will also celebrate the 75th anniversary of
its legendary Silver Arrows.
Mercedes-Benz is the most time-honoured automotive brand in the world. Since its beginnings it has always been perceived as the epitome of European luxury, and it is today the world’s most valuable premium automotive brand. Mercedes-Benz’ star emblem is one of the best-known trademarks in the world, representing safety, comfort, quality and reliability, as well as fascinating styling and sustainable mobility. The engineers at Mercedes-Benz have shaped automotive development since the very beginnings of the auto-mobile. They will continue to repeatedly reinvent the automobile in the future, doing so with the same enthusiasm and innovative skill as Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz in 1886. Through its commitment to sports, lifestyle and fashion, Mercedes-Benz shares the interests of its present and future customers and enables them to experience the fascination of the brand and its products.
Highlights In 2009, the launch of the new E-Class will usher in the next
generation of the world’s most successful business saloon. Like no other vehicle in its class, the E-Class combines styling with safety and comfort. Another sign of the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility is
the S 400 HYBRiD. In addition, Mercedes-Benz is making a compre-hensive contribution to environmentally friendly driving in all classes with its numerous BlueEFFiCiENCY models.
Lifestyle For more than ten years now, Mercedes-Benz has served as an ex-
pert partner for important international fashion platforms. That’s because both the automotive and the fashion industries are dependent on design for the creation of an unmistakable style that underscores the customers’ individuality and lifestyle. Design is therefore one of the
The popular brand smart is Europe’s youngest automobile brand. Following its big success in the USA, the smart fortwo will be launched this year in Brazil and China. By the end of the year, the two-seater will be sold in 41 markets worldwide. Besides being unconventional and self-assured, smart is also an environmentally conscious automobile brand. It stands for the intelligent combination of pioneering, environmentally friendly tech-nologies and individual urban mobility. Driving a smart is perceived as an expression of the motorist’s personality.
Highlights The smart fortwo cdi is the world’s CO2 champion, with emissions of
only 88 g/km. Beginning in late 2009, smart will produce a small-batch series of the
fortwo electric drive featuring innovative lithium-ion batteries. The smart fortwo “edition limited three” and the smart fortwo
BRABUS electric drive show car celebrated their world premieres in March 2009 at the International Motor Show in Geneva. In 2009, the brand will also be defining the smart class at www.the-
smart-class.com. car2go is the name of an innovative mobility concept for cities.
Beginning in March 2009, Daimler will employ this concept in Ulm, Germany, to provide drivers with a simple and flexible system for renting smart fortwo vehicles.

AMG is Mercedes-Benz Cars’ performance brand. Established by Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher in 1967 as a motor sports and tuning brand, today’s Mercedes-AMG GmbH has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG since 2005. Mercedes-AMG has expertise in all aspects of vehicle development and automobile production. It has created several engines, chassis and transmissions and developed the ultra-sporty Mercedes SLS AMG with gull-wing doors, which was presented in 2009. The Affalterbach-based company also develops optional equipment known as AMG sports packages for turning Mercedes-Benz series-produced vehicles into exclusive customized sports cars.
Highlights The AMG PERFORMANCE STUDiO offers customers an endless
variety of customisation possibilities. There are currently 175 AMG Performance Centres in 15 countries
worldwide. The AMG Driving Academy helps to maximise the sporty driving experi-
ence: It holds driving events worldwide for customers and other interested individuals, from lifestyle events to demanding racetrack training courses.
The name “Maybach” stands for exclusive saloons. Every Maybach is a masterpiece, combining aesthetics with perfection and elegance. The luxury brand offers customers more than two million different equipment combinations, thus creating an almost endless range of possibilities for customising the saloons. Maybach guarantees exclusivity, as every vehicle is made by hand. In 2009 the brand will be further expanding its range of offerings by introducing a sixth model, the Maybach Zeppelin. This high-end luxury saloon is a worthy successor of the original Maybach Zeppelin, a legendary vehicle that was considered unparalleled worldwide in the 1930s for the sophistication of its automotive engineering.

Road map to sustainable mobility
The challengeThe requirements to be met by the individual mobility of the future are becoming increasingly more varied and more complex.
A mix of drive systems, depending on requirements and use profile The mix of drive systems emerging for the future includes efficient
combustion engines, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell power and battery-powered electric vehicles. These technologies have already been an integral element of our
drive system strategy for years. Depending on their respective areas of application and customer
profiles, they make an optimal contribution to sustainable mobility. And we consistently transfer these technologies into series pro-
duction.
Strategy for sustainable mobilityOur strategy combines all the activities related to the vehicle and the drive system that are designed to conserve resources and mini-mise emissions — throughout the entire value creation process: Optimisation of vehicles with the latest internal combustion engines. Further increase in efficiency by means of multi-stage hybridisation
that takes customers’ needs into account. Zero-emission driving with fuel cell and battery-powered vehicles.
Daimler is also committed to the use of clean alternative fuels.
We are exploiting all the possibilities of improving our vehicles and drive systems: BlueEFFiCiENCY models: rollout started in 2008 BlueEFFICIENCY is a package of intelligent measures and tech-
nologies for achieving fuel savings. The outstanding comfort and level of safety that are typical of
Mercedes vehicles remain unchanged. This involves exploiting potential in all areas of development. The sum of all our efficiency measures enables the gasoline engine
to reduce fuel consumption by 0.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the NEDC. The equivalent figure for the diesel engine is 0.6 litres.
Hybridisation of vehicles with efficient combustion engines We are working on a modular hybrid system for solutions tailored
to the customer’s needs, from the user-friendly start-stop function and energy boosting/recuperation to purely electric driving. Further variants include plug-in technology and electric vehicles
equipped with a “Range Extender”. Arriving on the scene are the S 400 HYBRiD with a lithium-ion battery
and the ML 450 HYBRiD, which are scheduled for market launch in 2009.
Zero-emission driving: fuel cell and battery-powered vehicles Both vehicle types are powered by an electric motor. Different power sources: electricity comes from rechargeable
batteries, or the fuel cell supplies power to battery and electric motor. Both modes are highly efficient and quiet and produce no local
emissions. Today we already have a huge test fleet of battery-powered and
fuel cell vehicles that are being used by customers. The BlueZERO concept was developed on the basis of sandwich
architecture with three different drive system configurations: BlueZERO E-CELL with battery-powered electric drive BlueZERO F-CELL with fuel cell drive BlueZERO E-CELL PLUS with an electric drive and supplemental
internal combustion engine serving as a power generator (Range Extender).
Series production of a small batch of the B-Class F-CELL and of the smart fortwo electric drive will begin in 2009. This will be followed in 2010 by a Mercedes-Benz model with
battery-powered electric drive.

Vision of “accident-free driving”
Safety research — tradition and responsibilitySafety research has always been a top priority at Mercedes-Benz, which can look back on a long tradition in this area. All of our pioneering inventions for enhancing vehicle safety are the result of our engineers’ intense research and development work.
Using real-life accidents as a basisWe concentrate equally on accident prevention, minimising the severity of accidents and individualised occupant protection.
All of our activities are conducted in line with findings from real-life accidents. Only with this approach can we develop effective safety systems that go far beyond the legal requirements.
Pioneer and forerunner in developing safety innovations We claim to offer our customers the world’s safest cars and also contribute to the safety of other road users through measures such as those designed to protect pedestrians. We regard this as part of our social responsibility and as a key milestone on the road toward achieving “accident-free driving”.
Automobiles that “think and see”In the future a variety of different technologies will enable automobiles to “think” along with drivers, advise them of critical situations and, if necessary, independently initiate appropriate reactions.
Through these measures we intend to help drivers do their job better and, above all, in a more relaxed way. Active and passive safety systems are merging more and more into integrated and holistic protection and assistance systems. We will continue our pioneering tradition of innovation in order to steadily increase the safety of our vehicles and provide safe mobility on a sustainable basis.

Glossary: Technologies for sustainable and safe mobilityBlueTECThe modular exhaust treatment system is based on internal engine modifica-tions to minimize untreated emissions as well as effective exhaust treatment — resulting in the world’s cleanest diesel engine.
Diesel hybrid | BlueTEC HYBRiDThe combination of an efficient hybrid vehicle with our clean diesel techno-logy reduces consumption and emissions while boosting performance.
DiESOTTOThe new petrol engine with “diesel genes” features lots of power but also low fuel consumption. It combines the new homogeneous charge compression ignition system with features including direct injection and turbocharging.
Fuel cell and battery-powered vehiclesRelying on different power sources — fuel cells or a battery — the electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz provide highly efficient driving that produces zero local emissions.
Hybrid drive | HYBRiDThe HYBRID model combines an efficient combustion engine and a high-torque electric motor to considerably reduce fuel consumption, especially in stop-and-go city driving.
Lithium-ion batteryBattery technology is a key to all forms of electrification. Compared to other battery types, the lithium-ion battery is more compact and more powerful, has a longer service life, and is more reliable.
Petrol direct injectionFast, high-precision piezo direct injection ensures better fuel efficiency and therefore lower emissions compared to conventional combustion processes.
Range ExtenderIn battery-powered electric vehicles with the Range Extender feature, a small combustion engine serves as a generator that charges the battery while the vehicle is operated, thus increasing the cruising range.

Adaptive High Beam AssistantThe system automatically adjusts the range of the headlights to match the distance to oncoming vehicles or those being driven up ahead that have their lights switched on.
ATTENTiON ASSiSTFatigue recognition technology uses sensors to determine whether a driver is fatigued and instructs him to stop and rest in time to prevent risks.
Lane AssistantThis assistance system detects the lane markings on the road surface and warns a driver whose vehicle is inadvertently drifting into an adjacent lane.
Occupant protectionTo protect occupants, the front deformation zone of the vehicle functions on several levels and is therefore even more effective because the colli-sion impact is distributed over a large area and diverted away from the occupant cell.
Pedestrian protectionIn the event of an accident, a spring system raises the rear of the active hood by 50 millimetres within milliseconds, thus enlarging the deformation space.
PRE-SAFE®
In critical driving situations, this preventive occupant protection system acti-vates measures within fractions of a second to protect the vehicle occupants.
PRE-SAFE® brakeIn the event of an imminent unavoidable accident, the PRE-SAFE® brake applies full braking power, thus considerably reducing the collision impact.

The new E-Class — the benchmark for the production of luxury class automobiles
With the new E-Class, the flex-ible manufacturing of produc-tion series becomes a reality in the body shop. Top quality is assured, thanks to innovative technologies such as remote laser welding (RobScan), cooper-ating robots and the use of the best-fit process.
In the assembly area, formerly complex conveyor systems were replaced by simple line systems. As a result, the pre-assembly of doors and driver areas has been substantially improved. The main assembly line features new brackets that make work on the new E-Class even more ergonomic.

The new E-Class redefines the luxury saloon segment, combining comfort, safety, design, environmental friendliness and quality at a previously unattained level.
A coordinated training concept ensured that the workforce of the Sindelfingen plant was optimally prepared for the production of the new E-Class very early on. This guarantees top quality from the very start.
The final visual check is conducted at the finish line in accordance with precisely defined testing criteria.
A new E-Class made in Sindelfingen may not leave the plant for global delivery until it has successfully passed all quality checks.
