Daimler chief executive Dieter Zetsche has confirmed
that Mercedes-Benz will offer electrified versions of all its models by 2022.
Dieter made the revelation the night before the
Frankfurt Motor Show opened its door to the media and said that in the
foreseeable future, there will be at least 50 electrified vehicles in the
automaker’s extensive model range.
Additionally, Daimler’s head honcho said that the
Smart brand will only offer all-electric models by 2020. This announcement from
Mercedes comes shortly after numerous other automakers have made commitments to
electrify their ranges. Volvo will become the first traditional automaker to
only sell hybrid and electric vehicles when it does so by 2019. Jaguar intends
on doing the same by 2020.
