Mercedes to debut EV-focused MMA platform for 'entry luxury' models in 2024

Wolfgang Bremm von Kleinsorgen, head of Mercedes-Benz in Eastern and Central Europe, will speak at this year's Automotive News Europe Congress in Prague on July 13-14.

Truckmaker Kamaz is in talks with China's JAC to resume production of the Soviet-era brand at Renault's Moscow factory, sources said.

The electric supercar is based on the new AMG.EA architecture, and will use high-performance axial-flux electric motors developed by Mercedes subsidiary Yasa. 

The Volvo subsidiary has accelerated the introduction of a second shift at its factory in Luqiao, China, to help recover some of the lost production this year.

Mercedes unveiled plans to channel investment to models such as the flagship S-Class sedan and its high-performance AMG division, which will lift profit.

Mahindra is building a ground-up EV platform in which it plans to use components such as electric motors, battery system parts and battery cells sourced from VW.

In announcing the update, JAMA Chairman Akio Toyoda says it is important to bring together different sectors at a time when collaboration is needed to achieve carbon neutrality.

The concept's hybrid powertrain would allow 800 km of zero-emission driving in a single charge, Renault said. A battery-electric production version of the compact SUV is expected by 2024.

With an international network in more than 140 countries and a fleet of over 350,000 vehicles, Europcar would help VW to increase its presence in lucrative mobility services.

The crash is one of more than 30 under investigation by the NHTSA involving Tesla vehicles in which advanced driver assistance systems like Autopilot were suspected of use.
