Mercedes-Benz Vans has unveiled the Concept EQT, the newest member of the all-electric EQ family. The new van has space for up to seven occupants.
It also offers the MBUX infotainment system (Mercedes-Benz User Experience). The system can be operated using the free-standing central display with touch function, the touch control buttons on the steering wheel and, optionally, the ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice assistant. Its ability to learn thanks to artificial intelligence is unique.
Other highlights from MBUX in conjunction with Mercedes me connect include live traffic information and over-the-air updates.
Marcus Breitschwerdt, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, says: “We are expanding our portfolio in the small van segment with the forthcoming T-Class. It will appeal to families and all those private customers, whatever their age, who enjoy leisure activities and need a lot of space and maximum variability without forgoing comfort and style. The T-Class provides them with an attractive introduction into the world of Mercedes-Benz. And as the Concept EQT shows: We are consistently implementing our claim to leadership in electromobility and will also be offering a fully electric model in this segment in the future.”
“The Concept EQT is a new, holistic van with the Design DNA of “Sensual Purity”, adds Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer Daimler Group. “Sensuous shapes, elegant trims and sustainable materials show that this van clearly belongs to our Mercedes-EQ family.”
Mercedes-Benz says the new T-Class, which will be launched onto the market in 2022, complements the portfolio in the small van segment together with the commercially-positioned Citan which will celebrate its premiere this year including a fully electric variant. The fully electric version for private customers will follow later.
