Mercedes-Benz said on May 13 that it would completely stop the sale of traditional internal combustion engine cars by 2039 in order to achieve low carbon emissions.

A Mercedes-Benz spokesman said that within 20 years, all Mercedes-Benz models were electric or hybrid, or there were other new energy models.

Aurra Karenius, head of Mercedes-Benz research and development, said: "We plan to have all models practice low-carbon emissions within 20 years." And statement: Mercedes-Benz's goal is to focus on the research and development of electric cars, but it also needs to find multiple solutions, such as batteries or other environmentally friendly fuels. At present, no one can be sure which power system will meet the consumer demand in the next 20 years. So hope to achieve the goal through technology or creating conditions.

Karen Nu also said Daimler plans to achieve 50 per cent of total electric car sales within 10 years and is committed to achieving low-carbon targets at European factories by 2022. If you fail to achieve low-carbon emissions by 2020, you will face a hefty fine.
