Daimler 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008 Daimler Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Environmental protection, innovation, and safety / Foreword A central role is played here by lithium-ion battery technology, a field in which we recently achieved a significant breakthrough. We are the world’s first manufacturer to have succeeded in adapting lithium-ion technology to the demanding requirements of automotive applications. The technology was previously used primarily in the field of consumer electronics. We have safeguarded this achievement by taking out 25 patents, and we will launch our development on the market as early as 2009 in the S 400 BlueHYBRID. Dr. Thomas Weber Member of the Board of Management Group Research and Development Mercedes-Benz Cars Prof. Dr. Herbert Kohler Vice President Group Research and Advanced Engineering Vehicle and Powertrain, Chief Environmental Officer
Daimler 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008 Daimler Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Environmental protection, innovation, and safety / Environmental protection in the product lifecycle Environmental protection in the product lifecycle As a globally operating automobile manufacturer, we have a special responsibility to help design viable systems for mobility in the future. Our overriding goal here is to continually and consistently improve the environmental soundness of our products and business activities. To this end, we focus on the environmental impact of our products over their entire lifecycle, from development and production to service and recycling. We thus pursue a holistic approach that takes into account all aspects and lifecycle phases of our automobiles. We refer to this approach at Daimler as “TrueBlueSolutions” for sustainable mobility. The following chapters review the individual stages of the product lifecycle and describe the measures we employ in each one to conserve resources and minimize pollutant emissions.
