As the inventor of the automobile, Daimler assumes responsibility for the future of the automobile. Our "Road to Emission-free Mobility" stands for our commitment to sustainable mobility. Our goal is to greatly reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of our vehicles already today and to eliminate them altogether in the long term. To this end, we are developing a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art drive technologies that meet the specifi c requirements placed on the mobility of today and tomorrow in all sectors of road transport.

Mobility is the engine of growth and prosperity for every society.

We intend to retain mobility for future generations by making it as sustainable as possible.

This is our "Road to Emission-free Mobility":

– The ongoing development of passenger cars and commercial vehicles with

advanced internal combustion engines, with the aim of signifi cantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions

– Further increasing the effi ciency of modern internal combustion engines

through rigorous hybridization

– The development of locally emission-free electric vehicles with battery and fuel cell drive

The development of effi cient, safe, and affordable battery technology is crucial to the all-round electrifi cation of the drive system. Daimler is therefore developing state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.

The battery is the key to electrifi cation of the drivetrain. Daimler is therefore developing state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, and is thus the world’s fi rst carmaker to develop and – as of 2012 – to manufacture and distribute its own batteries for automotive use.

The Mercedes-Benz

Concept BlueZERO:

Three drive concepts to

meet all requirements.

The lithium-ion battery

is the key component

for all these solutions.

Daimler is developing state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.

The lithium-ion battery creates ideal conditions for electrifi cation of the drive system. Its particular advantages are its small size combined with high effi ciency. Further advances are expected from the more compact lithium-ion fl at cell with an even higher energy density.

Standardizing lithium-ion technology.

The development aim is series production of lithium-ion batteries for all drivetrain versions as of 2012. In this area, Daimler is benefi ting from its in-house expertise. The Group has already fi led more than 600 patents relating to battery-powered vehicles over the past 30 years – including more than 230 in the fi eld of lithium-ion technology.

Together with its partners, Daimler is leading the way in automotive battery technology.

To secure its leading position in the long term, Daimler acquired a 49.9-percent share in Li-Tec, a subsidiary of Evonik, in 2008. Daimler also has a 90-percent holding in the joint venture “Deutsche Accumotive GmbH & Co. KG”; this cooperation was established for the development and production of lithium-ion batteries for automotive application. A further partner of Daimler is Tesla.

From 2012, Daimler will have capacity of its own for the production of advanced lithium-ion batteries, which can then be used as required for all automotive appli-cations – from hybrid to electric vehicles and from passenger cars to commercial vehicles. Daimler thus has direct access to the key technology for emission-free driving.

The lithium-ion battery: The key to the mobility of the future.

hybrid module

Hybrid drives are a signifi cant component of Daimler’s strategy for sustainable mobility. For example, they combine an internal combustion engine and an electric motor; these can be operated either individually or in tandem. To this end, Daimler has developed a modular plug-in hybrid unit suitable for all hybrid drive variants.

Electrifi cation of the drivetrain is the key to greater effi ciency and environmental compatibility.

Daimler has developed a modular hybrid system that offers much scope for varia-tion in terms of performance and range of application. On this basis, many different hybrid drive variants can be realized – from the automatic start-stop function up to purely electric driving. Daimler has also developed a plug-in hybrid, with a battery that can be recharged at a conventional domestic power socket to increase the vehicle’s electric range.

In 2009, Daimler became the fi rst European manufacturer to launch a volume-produced hybrid car in the shape of the Mercedes-Benz S 400 HYBRID. The modular concept implemented in this premium passenger car for the fi rst time shows how it possible to realize hybrid drive solutions in a wide range of confi gurations effi ciently and in line with demand.

The Mercedes-Benz Vision S 500 Plug-in HYBRID points the way ahead for the modular hybrid system. Its hybrid module even allows purely electric driving. The more powerful electric motor differs only slightly from the hybrid module in the Mercedes-Benz S 400 HYBRID and, like its counterpart here, is disc-shaped and integrated in the 7G-TRONIC housing.

As of 2012, two new premium models will be added to the Mercedes hybrid range: the Mercedes-Benz E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID is the world's most economical luxury-class model and features a 4-cylinder die-sel engine with a 20 kW hybrid module; the Mercedes-Benz E 400 HYBRID is equipped with a V6 gasoline engine and likewise has a 20 kW hybrid module. The E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID is initially intended for the Euro-pean market, while the E 400 HYBRID is to be launched on the American market fi rst before being introduced in other countries like Japan and China.

Hybridization made to measure. A milestone along the road to further increased effi ciency.

The modular hybrid system highlights innovative approaches

to drivetrain electrifi cation.

40 years of expertise in hybrid technology are paying off. Daimler has the most experience with hybrid drives for commercial vehicles.

Back in 1969, the then Daimler-Benz AG presented the world’s fi rst commercial vehicle with hybrid drive. The practical experience gained across continents and corporate brands has given rise to joint developments. In commercial vehicles, for example, the Daimler engineers devised the optimal concept for each individual model. For trucks of all sizes this is parallel hybrid drive, whereby the vehicle is powered by the internal combustion engine and electric motor either separately or together. Serial hybrid drive is used for urban buses: In this case, the combustion engine drives a generator that powers an electric drive motor.

More than 6,000 hybrid trucks and buses from Daimler are now a regular sight on the world’s roads. Whether it be urban buses from Orion, Freightliner trucks or vans, or light-duty trucks and buses of the Fuso brand: They have all proved their worth in everyday operation. No manu-facturer in the world has produced more commercial vehicles with hybrid drive and launched them on the roads – and many more models are about to be introduced.

Daimler Buses North America has sold more than 3,000 Orion VII buses with diesel-electric hybrid drive and is thus the world leader in this segment. The serial hybrid drive in the Orion reduces fuel consumption by around 25 percent.

One of the cleanest trucks in the world, the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid demon-strates its superiority over non-hybrid models with its lower fuel consumption and its reduced emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulates. With around 1,000 vehicles sold worldwide, this light-duty truck is already proving suc-cessful on the international markets.

The concept of the Freightliner M2e Hybrid goes a step further than other hybrid vehicles. This truck also uses the electric module of its drive system for zero-emission, quiet operation of auxiliary units. The vehicle achieves fuel savings of about 25 to 30 percent.

Awarded the “Energy Conservation Center Chairman’s Prize” of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2009, Asia’s fi rst series-produced hybrid bus is powered by a serial hybrid drive unit.

Battery-electric drive units are an innovative solution, especially for meeting the demands of urban transport.In densely populated areas, electric vehicles can make an important contribution toward locally emission-free, quiet and effi cient mobility of the future.

20 21

The future has begun: Numerous electric vehicles have already proved their worth in operation with customers.

The everyday practicality of battery-electric driving has already been demonstrated, for example by the fi rst-generation smart fortwo electric drive that has been in operation in the UK since 2007 and by more than 2000 second-generation models that have been on the road in 19 countries on three continents since 2009. In 2010, Daimler moved into the zero-emission era with two further battery-electric vehicles: the Mercedes-Benz A-Class E-CELL and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-CELL. 2012 will see the launch of the third-generation smart fortwo electric drive in around 30 markets. It combines further enhanced driving enjoyment with even more effi ciency.

Daimler adopts a different technical approach with the Mercedes-Benz Vision B-Class E-CELL PLUS. This vehicle with electric drive and Range Extender has an overall range of up to 600 kilometers, of which 100 kilometers are purely electrical-ly driven and locally emission-free thanks to the lithium-ion battery.

All the vehicles are equipped with highly effi cient lithium-ion batteries, with those in the latest smart electric drive being produced by Deutsche Accumotive in Germany for the fi rst time, enabling the smart electric drive to achieve a range of more than 140 km, while the A-Class boasts a segment-leading range of over 200 km.

City traffi c of the future: electric vehicles as part of innovative mobility concepts.

Car2go is an intelligent car-rental concept from Daimler. The process is simple: register once, get in, drive off and, when you're fi nished, park the car again. The business model was expanded to include electric vehicles at selected locations in 2011.

Car2go is already proving a success in seven cities: the fl exible car-sharing scheme began in Ulm (Germany) in 2008, followed by Austin, Texas (USA) in 2009. Hamburg (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Vancouver (Canada), Amsterdam (Neth-erlands) and San Diego (USA) joined the scheme in 2011. Besides further cities, Car2go will launch in Düsseldorf, Berlin, Stuttgart (Germany) and Lyon (France) in 2012.

Following the lead set by Amsterdam and San Diego, Stuttgart will be the fi rst German city in which Car2go launches with a purely electric fl eet. At the heart of the project aimed at making the city of Stuttgart a vibrant showcase for the future of urban mobility are the world's largest fl eet of electric vehicles – a total of 500 smart fortwo electric drive models – and the creation of a charging infrastructure.

Emission-free commercial vehicles: Reality in traffi c from now on.

With the Mercedes-Benz Vito E-CELL, Daimler marks the beginning of the age of locally emission-free mobility in the van sector. It is the world’s fi rst van to include this technology ex-factory. The fi rst Vito E-CELL models were already delivered to customers in Berlin in September 2010. Over 400 of these quiet-running, emission-free vans have been built to date. It is planned to build around 2.000 vehicles in total.

With the Canter E-CELL from Fuso the next step on the road towards zero-emission transport in conurbations has begun. With the Canter E-CELL concept vehicle Daimler is testing the battery-electric drive on light-duty trucks. The batteries boast a substantial capacity of 40 kWh, suffi cient for a range of around 120 km.

In the USA, too, Daimler is leading the way with the development of locally emission-free commercial vehicles. Freightliner Custom Chassis offers the MT E-CELL – a vehicle with a range of up to 160 kilometers and the practicality of a delivery van.

fuel cell stack

28

The fuel cell – emission-free, quiet, safe, and convenient. Electric vehicles with fuel cells generate their electricity directly on board; with their long range and short recharging time, they are also ideally suited for long-distance travel.

30

Quick and convenient: Refi lling a fuel cell vehicle takes hardly any longer

than with gasoline or diesel-engined automobiles.

31

Linde and Daimler are further pressing ahead with the development of

an infrastructure for fuel-cell vehicles: Dr. Andreas Opfermann (Linde AG)

and Dr. Thomas Weber (Daimler AG) in front of the B-Class F-CELL.

Our goal: To reduce vehicle emissions today and to eventually eliminate them entirely through state-of-the-art drive technology.

With their large operating range and short refueling time, fuel cell cars are also suitable for long-distance travel. Locally, they operate as cleanly as battery-powered vehicles and do not give rise to noxious emissions.

The electricity for fuel cell electric vehicles is generated directly on board from hydrogen. The refueling process, which is basically the same as for a conventional vehicle, is automated and takes about three minutes.

Together with partners from the fi eld of politics and energy providers, Daimler is pressing ahead with the establishment of a close-knit hydrogen infrastructure: Only when a suffi cient number of fi lling stations becomes available can locally emission-free driving over long distances become reality.

Partnership for building 20 hydrogen fi lling stations in Germany.

Daimler and Linde are further pressing ahead with the development of an infra-structure for electric vehicles with fuel cell. Together they will be establishing 20 additional hydrogen fi lling stations in Germany over the next three years, thus ensuring a supply of regeneratively produced hydrogen. This initiative joins existing infrastructure projects such as H2-Mobility and Clean Energy Partnership, putting Germany at the international forefront in terms of hydrogen infrastructure. The investment provided by Linde and Daimler will more than triple the number of public hydrogen fi lling stations in Germany. The new fi lling stations are to be established in the existing hydrogen regions of Stuttgart, Berlin and Hamburg as well as along a new, extensive north-south and east-west link.

The three Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL vehicles proved their qualities –

even on patchy, potholed and barely graveled surfaces. Through Asia and back to Europe: crossing China alone took two weeks.

Electric vehicles with fuel cell drive all the way around the world in 125 days.

Whether off the beaten track in the Australian Outback, on long stretches of freeway, in inner cities or at tem-peratures of around minus 25 degrees Celsius – the three Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL vehicles on the World Drive proved their performance capabil-ity and robustness around the globe.

A historic long-distance journey came to an end on June 1, 2011. Three of the fi rst fuel-cell vehicles produced in series by Daimler arrived in Stuttgart 125 days after starting their world tour at the end of January. The tour took in 14 countries on four continents and covered over 90,000

emission-free kilometers, including treks across the USA, Australia, China and Rus-sia. This achievement sees Daimler confi rm-ing its role as an ambassador for new auto mobility of the future, since the fuel cell generates the traction current directly in the vehicle thanks to a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. Whenever it was not possible to refuel the vehicles at one of the many Linde sites, a special tanker supplied the hydrogen required. An initial spark for the future development of the hydrogen infrastructure.

34 35

Wherever possible, we benefi t from synergies between passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL is Daimler's fi rst electric car with Daimler fuel cell to be produced under series-production conditions. The new generation of fuel cell electric drive is compact, powerful, safe, and ideal for everyday use. The B-Class attains an excellent range of about 400 kilometers on one single fi lling of hydrogen. Since early 2010, a total of 200 vehicles have been delivered to selected customers in Europe and the USA.

The future of local public transport – already on the roads today.The Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid city bus likewise uses highly advanced fuel cell technology - in Hamburg, for example, where four buses have been operating on regular-service routes since 2011. They are to be joined by three further vehicles in 2012. This new vehicle is the latest install-ment of a well-established tradition: Since 2003, 36 fuel cell-powered previous-generation Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses have proved their worth during a total of 135,000 operating hours over two million kilometers on three continents.

Fuel cell in the van: The HySys Sprinter.With the HySys Sprinter, Daimler is taking account of the signifi cance of alternative drives in the van sector. This electric van, with a fuel cell based on that of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus, was developed as part of an EU project. Its drive unit attains a particularly high effi ciency factor of over 50%.

The Mercedes-Benz F 125! research vehicle boasts an expressive design

that takes the classic Mercedes design idiom into the future.

The new Mercedes-Benz F 125! research vehicle – zero-emission motoring in fi rst class

With the Mercedes-Benz F 125! research vehicle, Daimler is previewing tech-nological development in the luxury segment. The F 125! combines innova-tive, highly effi cient storage, drive and body technologies whilst offering a completely emission-free range of up to 1,000 kilometers.

For Daimler, the Mercedes-Benz F 125! is the logical next step in its mission to turn the vision of emission-free driving into reality and underlines the potential the po-tential of hydrogen as a fuel of the future. Whereas the previous Mercedes-Benz research vehicles "look forward" around one vehicle generation – seven to eight years – the latest technology visionary, the F 125!, goes one big step further by looking ahead more than two generations until beyond the year 2025.

The F 125! demonstrates how completely emission-free mobility could be possible in the luxury segment in future. Here the research and development team use tried-and-trusted concepts as well as technolo-gies which, although not yet available, are showing very encouraging signs during the course of fundamental research and therefore have a realistic chance of being used in the standard-production cars of the future.

Key new areas of innovation include:

– Systematic further development of the fuel-cell drive, including in combination with plug-in technology.
