At its first digital ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) Conference for investors and analysts, Mercedes-Benz announced aims to at least halve CO 2 emissions per passenger car over the lifecycle by the end of this decade compared to 2020 levels. The EQS and EQE will even feature cable ducting made with recycled landfill waste.

If you’re looking at electric cars , environmental impact is probably high on your list of priorities. Are electric cars better for the environment? That’s why the UK Government has banned the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. There are plenty of benefits of making the switch to driving an electric vehicle (EV).
