Daimler Trucks focused on improving urban transportation during its media event ahead of the IAA commercial vehicles show, presenting three electric concept vehicles.
The Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck, Vision Van and Future Bus will make urban transportation “more efficient, safer and connected,” said Wolfgang Bernhard, head of Daimler Trucks’ global truck and bus division. “In the coming 10 years, more will change in our vehicles than in the past 120 years,” Bernhard said.
The result, he said, “is making cities a better place for everyone.” That is critical, he added, because studies show an estimated 70% of the world’s population will resides in urban areas by 2050.
