  • The world premiere of the Volkswagen ID.Buzz - Part 1

    The new model line’s assistance systems perfect ease of driving and safety. Included as standard in the ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo is the ‘Car2X’ local warning system, which utilises signals from other vehicles and the transport infrastructure to spot hazards in real time. Also included as standard: the ‘Front Assist’ emergency braking function and, in the MPV, the ‘Lane Assist’ lane-keeping assistant. With new software, new assistance functions are also making their way into the ID. family. Available as an option is ‘Travel Assist with swarm data’, which facilitates partially automated driving across the entire speed range and, for the first time, assisted lane-changing on the motorway. Also new: the ‘Memory Function’ for automated parking on a previously saved route.

  • Rally Monza - Daily recap Friday - part 1

    The two, also fighting for the title of World Rally Champion, confirmed the current superiority of the Yaris WRC over the Hyundai i20 Coupé WRC, the cars competing for the Constructors' title.Two Toyota in front and two Hyundai to chase with an already important gap. The first of the three days of the FORUM8 ACI Rally Monza, the closing race of the World Rally Championship, decisive for the assignment of the drivers 'and constructors' titles, ended with the two Toyota Yaris WRC of Elfyn Eevans, sailed by Scott Martin, and Sebastien Ogier, paired with Julien Ingrassia, clearly in command. The pace of the two, who have been fighting each other for a long time on the edge of tenths of a second, was decidedly higher than that of the competition with, in particular, the two Hyundai of Thierry Neuville and Dani Sordo that were consistently less fast of the adversaries, in particular on the two special stages, to be repeated twice, outside the circuit, those of "Gerosa" (10.96 km) and "Costa Valle Imagna" (22.11 km). Timed sections that allowed the Toyota drivers to take a good advantage. The race is still long, but the more than twenty seconds ahead of the crews in the lead over Neuville, and the over thirty over Dani Sordo, are particularly heavy.

  • World Premiere Mercedes-Benz Vision URBANETIC - Speech Volker Mornhinweg (Part 1)

    "Mercedes-Benz Vans presents its Vision URBANETIC, a revolutionary mobility concept that goes way beyond existing ideas on autonomous vehicles. Vision URBANETIC eliminates the separation between people moving and goods transport. It enables on-demand, sustainable and efficient movement of people and goods – and applies an innovative approach to fulfil the needs of cities, businesses from diverse sectors as well as city dwellers and travellers. The concept reduces traffic flows, relieves inner-city infrastructures and contributes to an improved quality of urban life. As part of a holistic system solution, Vision URBANETIC addresses future urban challenges and offers innovative solutions. The visionary concept is based on a self-driving, electrically powered chassis that can take different switchable bodies for people moving or goods transport. As a ride-sharing vehicle, Vision URBANETIC can accommodate up to twelve passengers, while the cargo module can carry up to ten EPAL pallets. A load space 3.70 metres long fits into a total vehicle length of 5.14 metres. Plus, the concept incorporates an IT infrastructure that analyses in real time the supply and demand within a defined area. The result is a self-driving fleet, with routes planned flexibly and efficiently on the basis of current transportation needs. All of this makes Vision URBANETIC a groundbreaking concept for future urban mobility. Thanks to full networking, the evaluation of local information – such as concerts and events – and intelligent control, the system not only analyses current needs, it can also learn from them. It is thus able to anticipate and react to future needs. This can optimise processes and help shorten waiting and delivery times and avoid traffic jams. For instance, the overall system can use the data captured by the vehicle control centre – which collates and analyses needs – to identify a crowd of people gathering in a certain area. It can send vehicles there to quickly and efficiently satisfy the increased demand. The system can thus react flexibly and is not based on rigid routes or fixed timetables."

  • World Premiere of the new Mercedes-Benz eCitaro Till Oberwörder - Presentation Sprinter City 75

    " Electric mobility means rethinking bus transport in cities. The new all-electric Mercedes-Benz eCitaro takes electromobility using city buses to a completely new level. It offers an impressive and unprecedented standard in energy efficiency, courtesy of its innovative thermal management system that uses innovative components available for the first time with the launch of the eCitaro. It is the start of an innovation initiative for electric mobility, because together with the premiere, Daimler Buses already presents a concrete timetable for the city bus powertrain of the near future. The eCitaro already covers a large part of the operations of city buses today – in just a few short years, it will be able to completely replace the combustion engine with unique battery technology and a fuel cell as a range extender. The new eCitaro is far more than just a city bus: It is embedded into the eMobility system of Daimler Buses. This eMobility system supports transport operators from thorough consulting services and the assistance of an intelligent charge management system to the training of the employees and the provision of specific services. The eMobility system and the Mercedes‑Benz eCitaro consequently pave the way for switching to electric mobility for buses in cities and population centres."
