Mercedes-Benz Vans: First independent Mercedes PRO sales outlet in Manhattan
14.
June 2019
Stuttgart
Customers can now find an independent sales outlet for Mercedes PRO, the digital B2B fleet solution, at the Mercedes-Benz dealership in Manhattan (New York, USA). Based on the shop-in-shop principle, this is the first of its kind worldwide. Using a real Sprinter cockpit, Van customers can call up vehicle data, run analyses and make service appointments, for example. Thus all of the 18 Mercedes PRO connect services available at present can be experienced hands-on.
Available in 19 European markets, Mercedes PRO has been available in the USA since the beginning of 2019. “It was a conscious decision to open our first over-the-counter sales outlet in Manhattan. Many digital service offerings are at home in the USA, so we are just bringing together what belongs together. As a digital ecosystem, Mercedes PRO optimises the communication between fleet managers, vehicles and drivers. Orders can be managed online and vehicle information accessed via the system”, explains Bjoern Sack, Head of Connectivity and Digital Services.
Mercedes PRO is the new digital service brand from Mercedes-Benz Vans. The Van sector groups together all current and future business service offers on a digital platform. In addition to a consultation at a dealership, a product advisor is available free of charge at www.mercedes.pro to help Mercedes-Benz Vans commercial customers select the digital services best-suited to their fleet and business. For this, the following parameters in particular are taken into account: the business sector, fleet size, annual mileage and the dynamics of the route planning.

MAHLE e-compressor wins CLEPA award
Stuttgart/Germany, June 17, 2019 – The electric air conditioning compressor from MAHLE, which is the beating heart of the air conditioning and refrigerant circuit in electric vehicles, has been recognized by the European Association of Automotive Suppliers at the prestigious CLEPA Innovation Awards 2019. MAHLE prevailed in a strong field of 63 competitors to win the prize in the Environment category.

Press release [PDF; 58 KB]Press image [JPG; 4167 KB] MAHLE’s electric air conditioning compressor takes home Environment prizeStiff competition from 63 nomineesDr. Otmar Scharrer, head of Corporate Research and Advanced Engineering, accepted the accolade at an award ceremony in Brussels/Belgium. “We see this award as a further acknowledgment of our work. The electric air conditioning compressor from MAHLE operates on a demand basis, so it only uses as much energy as it needs, thus ensuring greater efficiency and cruising range. In this way, it is helping to make individual mobility more climate friendly. At the same time, this technology allows the battery to be charged quickly when the vehicle is stationary—a process that requires cooling. This rapid charging capability makes a substantial contribution to e-mobility’s widespread acceptance by consumers,” stated Dr. Scharrer.
MAHLE’s e-compressor is the result of a cooperative project within the MAHLE Group that has spanned disciplines, business areas, and national borders. “The know-how and experience of the experts at our MAHLE locations in North America and Europe have fed into the development of this technology. With our e‑compressor, we are supplying a product that offers outstanding adaptability to specific customer requirements,” explained Dr. Armin Frommer, head of Product Development E‑Compressors at MAHLE.
The e-compressor from MAHLE is the beating heart of the air conditioning and refrigerant circuit in an electric vehicle. It takes on the central role of controlling the temperature in the cabin, but most importantly, it is responsible for the air conditioning of the critical component in the electric vehicle’s powertrain: its battery. Keeping the battery at the right temperature makes a crucial impact on its service life and charging speed as well as on the cruising range of the electric vehicle.
Electric compressors are strategically important to MAHLE. They are enabling the technology group to build on its position as a complete systems provider in the field of air conditioning for electric vehicles too. In addition to the e-compressors themselves, MAHLE develops and produces the electric drives they require as well as the electronics and software.

Deliveries are set to commence in September: The new CLA Shooting Brake can now be ordered
17.
June 2019
Stuttgart
Combined fuel consumption: 5.8‑5.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 132-125 g/km*Stuttgart. With its proportions the new Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake sparks emotions: a long bonnet, compact greenhouse with coupé-like windowlines, muscular shoulders over the rear wheel arch and a supplely crouched rear, which clearly shows its sports car genes. Prices begin at 32,213.30 euros[1] for the CLA 180 rated at 100 kW (136 hp), 200 Nm and with a six-speed manual transmission (combined fuel consumption: 5.8‑5.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 132-125 g/km)[2]. Deliveries will commence in September 2019.
Attractive, intelligent – and practical: the new Mercedes-Benz CLA will also be available as a Shooting Brake from September. The design shows a sense of elegant athleticism: from the striking “shark nose” at the front and the uncluttered sides with accented surfaces, through to the gently muscular rear end. The latter on the CLA Shooting Brake ensures a decisive addition in terms of functionality.
The designer piece provides space for spontaneity, be it on an extended shopping spree or for sports and outdoor activities. At 871 millimetres, the boot opening is significantly wider than in the previous model (635 mm). In addition, the tailgate can also be opened contactlessly thanks to EASY-PACK and HANDS-FREE ACCESS (both part of the KEYLESS-GO Convenience package for 892.50 euros).

Individualisation of the CLA Shooting Brake begins with the Progressive design and equipment line (1755.25 euros). This includes 18-inch light-alloy wheels, a leather-finished multifunction sports steering wheel and comfort seats plus a 40:20:40 split-folding rear seat backrest. Externally the design and equipment line is also distinguishable by the visible exhaust tailpipe trim elements and the discreet chrome trim strip on the front and rear aprons.
A sporty look inside and out comes courtesy of the AMG Line (3510.50 euros) with 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels, AMG front apron, AMG rear apron and AMG side sill panels, sports seats, multifunction sports steering wheel in nappa leather and light longitundinal-grain aluminium trim elements. The AMG Line also has the lowered comfort suspension and Direct Steer with a variable steering ratio.
Especially exclusive: the Edition 1
In its first year, all the engine variants of the new CLA Shooting Brake will also be available as Edition 1 versions. This limited edition is based on the AMG line. Numerous visual highlights on both the exterior and interior emphasise its exclusivity. The Edition 1 costs 6902 euros more than the base version. It includes LED High Performance headlamps, AMG light-alloy wheels measuring 19 inches in diameter and with an orange-painted rim flange. Also included is the Night package with a host of high-gloss black-painted trim elements, underscored in the Edition 1 variant with orange-coloured highlights.
In the interior the Edition 1 has orange-coloured contrasting topstitching on the dashboard, sports seats, armrests, door panel beltlines and floor matsFitted as standard are sports seats, ambient lighting with 64 colours plus trim elements with “Edition 1” lettering.
All-round support: three driving assistance systems in the CLA Shooting Brake
The new CLA Shooting Brake features modern driving assistance systems with cooperative driver support. For example, standard equipment includes Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Braking Assist.
The Driving Assistance package (1796.90 euros) is comprehensive and has coordinated functions. It includes the following systems: Active Distance Control DISTRONIC; route-based speed adjustment; Active Steering Assist; Active Speed Limit Assist; Active Braking Assist with Cross-Traffic Function; Evasive Steering Assist; Active Lane Changing Assist; Active Emergency Stop Assist; Active Blind Spot Assist; PRE-SAFE® PLUS.
For the first time, the CLA Shooting Brake is able to drive semi-autonomously in certain driving situations. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC (714 euros) and Active Steering Assist (part of the Driving Assistance package) support the driver even more comfortably in maintaining the distance to other vehicles and in steering; the speed can now also be automatically adjusted for corners, junctions or roundabouts.
Apart from the PRE-SAFE® functions included in the Driving Assistance package, the PRE-SAFE® System (392.70 euros) is also available separately. The PRE‑SAFE® System uses the time before an impending accident and can initiate a number of measures to reduce the burden that occurs during an accident. These also include the innovative PRE-SAFE® Sound system. This prepares the human hearing for the expected noise of an impact when there is a risk of a collision and can thus reduce noise strain caused by an accident.
