Mercedes Production Will Come Into Effect Starting in 2024 and Will Also Happen with Batteries for Electric Cars

Markus Shafer, Development Director, stated that Mercedes-Benz is determined to produce its own motors for electric cars starting in 2024. The same approach will be taken regarding batteries, whose supply will be entrusted only to joint ventures that the German company helped establish. The development director explained this new strategy of the Stuttgart group during an interview with the German magazine Automobilwoche.

Change in Mercedes-Benz Production

Until now, the motors and other powertrain components for Mercedes-Benz electric cars have been purchased from other companies, such as ZF or Valeo. Starting in 2024, this situation will no longer be maintained, not only for the models that will be created on the MMA platform, which is reserved for medium cars, but also for those that will be based on the EA platform, which is reserved for larger cars. Both will utilize components produced by Mercedes itself.

The change in the way Mercedes-Benz operates is due, according to Markus Shafer, to the company’s desire to control the entire propulsion scheme and, to that end, it will deal directly with the battery, motors, and power electronics. In summary, the same processes used for internal combustion engine models will be applied to electric cars.

Plans for the Future

The expectation is that, in the coming years, Mercedes intends to use traditional motors for the most commonly used models and will opt for the more sophisticated Yasa radial flow motors in high-end cars.

As for the batteries, detailed plans have not yet been disclosed, but it is known that Mercedes-Benz will make the most of its stake in ACC, a company dedicated to batteries, in which Mercedes currently holds a total of 33% ownership.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Cleaning lady lived with three children in a 24 m² house in Jardim Colombo until a project in São Paulo transformed the property in 50 days and paved the way for a new profession

Mato Grosso inaugurates the first 162 km stretch of the largest railway project underway in Brazil, with around R$ 5 billion invested to transport 10 million tons of grains per year to the Port of Santos.

Capixaba farmer created in 14 years the first registered ginger cultivar in Brazil, with a productivity of 145 tons per hectare, more than double the state average, and is already receiving orders from South Africa and Peru.

Without money to pay rent and without an architect’s degree, a man took a chisel, chainsaw, and hammer, carved a house into the hillside, and built a fairy-tale dwelling that looks like it’s straight out of The Lord of the Rings in just four months for less than R$ 25,000.

Toyota Sienna becomes a “VIP lounge on wheels” in Brazil after receiving a Chinese luxury kit, seats with massage, Starlink, refrigerator, and a 245 hp hybrid engine, targeting high-income families, artists, and executive transport in an almost million-dollar van.

Two new 300cc models from QJ Motor are expected to arrive in Brazil as SBM to target the CB 300F and shake up the low-displacement market, with more power and liquid cooling than Honda.

Camaro may reappear in 2027, but not as you remember: Chevrolet prepares the return of the icon with four doors, manual transmission, and an extreme performance version to face the new era of sports cars.

Is the BYD Song Pro worth it? The Anderson Sincero channel says it doesn’t exceed R$ 140,000, and the price dropped by R$ 47,000, reinforcing the depreciation of the plug-in hybrid in the Fipe table.
