Mercedes decided that in 2030 there will be only electric cars, but with conditions

Like other brands, Mercedes is also banking on electric vehicles as the brand’s future. He already has some interesting models on the market and has now announced one of his biggest changes in the coming years.

According to Mercedes reports, from 2030 the German brand intends to launch only electric vehicles on the market, completely abandoning internal combustion engines. The plan is ambitious, but it contains some details that will change the way it is implemented.

In a recent post, Mercedes announced its future plans for electric vehicles. The brand has set a goal until 2030 as a restriction on the sale of vehicles with internal combustion engines, with some accompanying conditions.

How disclosed, this plan will be implemented in markets where the demand for electric vehicles is high and justified. While it is unclear, the idea remains that Mercedes will be able to retain some of its offer beyond 2030 where it deems it warranted.

In addition to this significant date, the German brand has other short-term goals in its plans. Thus, already in 2022, all models of all model lines will have proposals in which the engine will be electric, offered on a par with the current proposals.

In addition, starting in 2025, all new Mercedes-Benz vehicles will be lightweight vehicles with electric motors. Internal combustion engines will only be on models that are still in the brand's catalog.

Mercedes plans to build and operate eight giant factories in the coming years. This will help house the 200 gigawatts of battery manufacturing capacity that the company predicts will be required for all the new electric vehicles it produces.

In models that will be unveiled in 2025, Mercedes hopes to introduce a trio of specific electric vehicle architectures. There will be MB.EA platform for passenger cars, AMG.EA for high-performance models targeting AMG and VAN.EA, a new line of light commercial vehicles dedicated to service.
