Cover photo: Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025. The Future Truck 2025 provides a glimpse of the future of goods transport. It conserves resources, reduces emissions, maximizes traffic safety and increases connectivity in road traffic. This spectacular study from Mercedes-Benz is far more than a distant vision: It is planned to put the truck on the road within ten years. Many of its technological componen ts are already available and ready for use. The brain of the Future Truck 2025 is the “Highway Pilot,” whose fasci- nating capabilities were demonstrated in autonomous driving on the autobahn in July 2014. The complete design and technology study had its world premiere at Daimler’s Divisions > the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show in 2014.

As a pioneer of automotive engineering, we are continually working to shape the future of mobility. Our thoughts and actions are guided by the principle of sustainability. We have already reached many milestones on the road to emission- free and accident-free driving. Intelligent connectivity offers us additional and completely new opportunities to shape the mobility of tomorrow. We plan to use these new technologies to keep our loyal customers satisfied, gain new markets and customers, continue along our path of profitable growth and create sustained value. 2 Daimler | Clean. Safe. Connected. Clean. Clean mobility. Daimler is on the “road to emission-free driving.” To this end, we have created an environmental road- map that focuses on further efficiency enhancements to combustion engines, needs-based hybridization and locally emission-free electric vehicles with batteries or fuel cells. 3 Daimler | Clean. Safe. Connected. First plug-in hybrid with the three-pointed star: the S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID1. A pioneer for efficiency. Exemplary efficiency = superior performance. Daimler offers proof of this equation with the S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID1, a model that once again underscores the Group’s leading role in the electrification of premium vehicles. The new luxury sedan from Mercedes-Benz makes a big impression not only with its state-of-the-art hybrid concept but also with the innovations and exclusive appointment details of the S-Class. The centerpiece of the model’s plug-in technology is a new high-voltage lithium-ion battery that can be charged externally — using a household power socket, for example.

  • 110 Years Since Mercedes' Dad Bought His First
    110Years Since Mercedes' Dad Bought His First Car In 1897, successful German-born businessman Emil Jellinek bought his first car from genius inventor Gottlieb Daimler. He became an enthusias- tic fan of the automobile, took part in the earliest motor races, and quickly became the largest distributor of Daimler cars. A few months after Herr Daimler's death in 1900, Jellinek persuaded the management of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft to have its chief designer, legendary and visionary engineer Wilhelm Maybach, build a fast, lightweight Emil Jellinek didn't only love Daimler cars; he also and safe car. Jellinek also made a second sugges- doted on his daughter, Mercédès. tion: the new car should bear the name of his daughter, Mercédès, who was then ten years old. And what a new car it was. More advanced than any other of the time, there's no disputing that it set the pattern for all that was to come for many decades. Essentially, it defined the car as we know it today. Of course, during the previous 15 years since Karl Benz had patented his three-wheeler, all sorts of contraptions, both European and American, had been produced that proved capable of moving under their own power, more or less, but none but the 1901 Mercedes deserved billing as "The This example of the first Mercedes was owned by U.S. World’s First Modern Automobile."

  • The International Journal of Business & Management
    The International Journal Of Business & Management (ISSN 2321 – 8916) www.theijbm.com THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT Why a Middle Income Country is Experiencing a Booming Auto Industrial Development: Evidence from China and its Meaning for the Developing World Bindzi Zogo Emmanuel Cedrick Ph.D Candidate, School of Economics Wuhan University of Technology, P.R. China, Hubei Province, Wuhan City, China Pr. Wei Long Professor, Wuhan University of Technology, P.R. China, Hubei Province, Wuhan City, China Abtract: From almost nothing in 1970 to the World largest manufacturer and automobile market in 2013, China has essentially focused its rapid economic progress on industrial development. This paper discusses the meaning of middle income to the developing world. It then determines the factors contributing to the growth of China auto industry. It also argues on how the fast growing of a middle income country’s auto industry could impact other developing economies. It therefore concludes that although the economic model established by China to develop its auto industry traces its basis in the diamond model’s determinants, the application of these determinants has followed a different approach backed up by a pentagram model which places the government as the primary actor in the fast transformation of China auto industry. Keywords: Middle income, growing auto industry, pentagram model, government role 1. Introduction During the last decades, the world has witnessed a faster economic development of Middle income countries. China, Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa and more others have relatively ameliorate their industrial capabilities with positive spillovers to the rest of the world.
