According to our colleagues at Autocar, the head of Mercedes-Benz has said that the new electric C-Class will debut alongside the new GLC electric SUV. The novelties are based on the MB.EA platform and will be representatives of the higher segment of cars currently occupied by CLE and E-Class.
However, despite the growing model range of electric cars, Mercedes-Benz will also continue to produce cars with internal combustion engines, because the company has revised its electrification plan. Compared to last year, sales of electric vehicles fell by 25% from 61 units sold to 211.
At the same time, the automaker sold 27% more plug-in hybrids, selling 44 cars. "We have to realize that due to the speed of the transition to electric cars, it is almost impossible to predict how long it will take. We are one of the few companies well-positioned to play the flexibility card into the 2030s.”, - said Kellenius.
