Mercedes-Benz EQC – The Eco-Friendly Gear Hauler

Bike rack, ski and snowboard carrier, golf stand bag, child seat, and more.

The market launch of the EQC, the first all-electric vehicle from Mercedes-Benz, marks the Stuttgart car manufacturer’s entry into a new era of sustainable mobility. In developing the EQC, the engineering focus was not just on the innovative powertrain system, progressive design and driving dynamics, but also on configuring the electric car very consciously for everyday suitability and for long-term, hassle-free use. In line with this ambition, Mercedes-Benz is also presenting a wide range of accessory products that will make the EQC a dependable companion – for all sport and recreational activities, on vacation and anywhere one may be traveling with larger or specialist luggage items.

The luggage compartment of the EQC, with a capacity of 500 l, already has plenty of space for suitcases or sports equipment. However, there are times, especially on vacation with active kids and loads of other stuff, when this is still not sufficient. To carry bikes, tents, skis, snowboards, golfing gear or maybe a Bobby Car as well, one will need extra stowage space. And it is with precisely this sort of situation in mind that Mercedes-Benz engineers designed a roof rack specifically for the EQC. Its two customised aluminium carrier bars provide the basis for a range of load carrying systems. On the roof carrier on can fit, for example, roof boxes with a capacity of 330, 400 or 450 l, a bike rack and a ski & snowboard rack for up to six pairs of skis or four snowboards. If it’s just a question of carrying bikes, Mercedes-Benz also offers an easily accessible rear-mounted bicycle rack for the EQC, available in versions for either two or three bikes.

Whether on the roof carrier designed exclusively for the EQC or mounted on the rear, the bikes designed by FOCUS for Mercedes-Benz can be transported safely and conveniently to your vacation destination or to the starting point for your bike tour. With 27 gears, suspension fork, disc brakes and 28-inch wheels, the Fitness Bike, with its exclusively designed aluminium frame, is capable of coping with any sporting challenge. For comfortable on- or off-road touring, the Trekking Bike also features a hub dynamo, a pannier rack and mudguards.

For sports such as golf or fitness training, the EQC is also capable of carrying all the equipment you might need without any problem at all – for example the golf stand bag by COBRA for Mercedes-Benz with 14-way club divider. For carrying from one hole to the next, the bag features quick-release shoulder straps, while the EasyFlex base and automatic stand system ensure it remains steady with maximum ground contact. Various pockets and compartments as well as a towel loop make this black golf bag an indispensable partner on any course.

For fitness fanatics with a love of speed, the Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Collection offers a range of accessories in a special Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport design. The drawstring sports bag with zipped front compartment lends itself for carrying smaller items, while the sports hold-all with its sizeable main compartment, zipped front pocket and adjustable shoulder strap will also accommodate several pairs of shoes or fitness gear.

Like all fully electric vehicles, the EQC should also be charged before setting off on a longer journey. This is possible at a normal domestic power socket, but much more convenient and many times faster at the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox Home. This includes a fixed charging cable, approx. six metres in length, and has a maximum capacity of 22 kW. While the vehicle is charging, the parents can safely be loading the vehicle for a day out or vacation. The kids can do a few laps in the garage in complete safety in the sunbeam yellow Bobby-AMG GT. This great toy for kids of 18 months or over features front and rear LED lights and plastic “whisper wheels”.

An exceptional level of safety once on the road is ensured by the KIDFIX XP child seat with ISOFIT ECE for children between 3.5 and 12 years of age. The forward-facing seat becomes an integral part of the vehicle, whereby the V-shaped backrest adapts to the angle of the car seat backrest and can be adjusted to suit various sleeping positions. Extra safety is ensured by the side impact protection provided by an energy-absorbing pad that helps to reduce the physical stresses on the child in the event of a crash. Large padded side bolsters increase the level of protection further. Both the belt guide and the headrest are adjustable, ensuring that the child seat grows with the child as the years pass. If necessary, the backrest can be removed and the KIDFIX XP used as a simple booster seat. The elegant upholstery in an exclusive Mercedes-Benz design is removable and washable.

Even if man’s best friend is traveling along, he will certainly be happy about the comfortable roominess in the trunk of the EQC. On the dog cushion with a soft and dimensionally stable filling made of polyester from Mercedes-Benz by MiaCara®, the four-legged friend can either sleep while driving or enjoy the view through the rear window.

Mercedes-Benz Adds Sex Appeal to C-Class with AMG Accessories

With the new AMG accessories, more sporting ambitions and personal appearance can now be added in the Aftermarket

Mercedes-AMG is now offering several accessories to add even more style to the C 450 4MATIC AMG and the AMG Line. For the C-Class sedan, the exclusive AMG accessories are now available at all retailers. At years end, the corresponding offer will also be available for the C-Class station wagon. An additional program for further body versions and other series follows in 2016.

Exclusive AMG Accessories for the C-Class: AMG Sport stripes, AMG Rear apron trim with diffuser-look, AMG Additional rear flics, AMG Side-sill extensions

Exclusive AMG Accessories for the C-Class: AMG Sport stripes, AMG Rear apron trim with diffuser-look, AMG Additional rear flics, AMG Side-sill extensions

Mercedes-AMG, the sports car and high-performance brand of Mercedes-Benz, stands for excellent driving dynamics and high emotional appeal. With the new AMG accessories, more sporting ambitions and personal appearance can now be added in the Aftermarket. The range currently includes five exterior add-on parts in a striking AMG design for the C 450 4MATIC AMG sedan and the AMG Line models. There are also sporting side strips, which are attached as foiling below the dropping line of the vehicle. All components are perfectly matched and available from the Mercedes-Benz dealers.

Here is a list of the individual parts:

  • AMG Front splitter: 560 € 1
  • AMG Side-sill extensions: 790 € 1,2
  • AMG Tear-off edge: 350 € 1, 3
  • AMG Rear apron trim with diffuser-look: 560 € 1
  • AMG Additional rear flics: 220 € 1,2
  • AMG Sport strip: 200 € 1, 2

The add-on parts produced by thermoforming technology are supplied in high-gloss black – ideal for a sporty look. The high-quality surface finish eliminates painting, which means the attachments are mountable without any further effort – great emphasis was placed on simple handling and short installation times during the development of these unique AMG accessories. Only 1 ½ hours are required of the Mercedes-Benz dealers, for example, to assemble the four components AMG front splitter, AMG rear apron trim, AMG side sill set and AMG Additional rear flics.

Since a new solution comes into play as an excerpt from the EC type-approval, starting in 2016 the AMG accessories must not be registered in the vehicle documents. The Mercedes-Benz workshop only has to fill in the corresponding confirmation and deliver it to the customer.

The AMG accessories will be expanded successively: from the end of 2015 an offer for other body versions of the C-Class and other series is planned. At the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt (September 15 to 27) one can experience the new AMG accessories interactively on a touch screen monitor.

Mercedes-Benz Collection: the highest quality standards

“The best or nothing” promise clearly carries through to the products in the Mercedes-Benz Collection. All items have been specifically designed, developed and produced for Mercedes-Benz.

The next step involves evaluating the proportions, functionality and material selection in order to satisfy the demanding requirements of Mercedes-Benz.

True to its commitment to superb quality, Mercedes-Benz also has the products in the Mercedes-Benz Collection and their raw materials and components tested by the specialists at the independent SGS Institut Fresenius product testing centre.

smart fortwo electric drive and ebike Clothing and Accessory Collection

smart's unconventional style, design and functionality have been brought together in the new smart electric drive collection

smart is known for its unconventional style, and now the same unconventional style, trendy design and high level of functionality have been brought together in the new smart electric drive collection.

The stylish and weatherproof smart ebike jacket is the perfect item of clothing for zipping through town on the new smart ebike. The basic colour of the women’s jacket is “crystal white”, with “energy green” adding fresh accents on the seams, zipper and cords. The men’s version combines “matt dark grey” with accents in “flame orange”. The jacket made of 100 percent polyurethane (PU) is breathable, has a wind-stopper function and withstands a water column of at least 5000 millimetres. The hood can be stowed in the collar. The smart ebike functional jacket is available in the sizes XS, S, M, L, XL (women) and S, M, L, XL, XXL (men).

With the smart ebike helmet cyclists play it safe. And they also cut a fine figure. It is available in two colour variants with a sporty design: crystal white/energy green and matt dark grey/flame orange. The helmet produced by cooperation partner Uvex is available in the sizes XS/S (head circumference: 52-57 cm) and M/L (57-62 cm).

With its innovative and attractive design the smart ebike folding lock is typically smart. It features the smart ebike logo and a green ebike pictogram. Thanks to the innovative link construction the lock folds to a compact size. It is quick to use, has a low weight and offers a high level of protection. A practical bag protects the 90 cm lock from dirt.

With the smart ebike shoulder bag that has a detachable padded laptop compartment new media is always at hand. Made of water-repellent material, the bag is robust and hard-wearing. The basic colour white is combined with “energy green” prints. Dimensions: approx. 40 x 34 x 15 cm.

From the autumn an aluminium luggage rack will extend transport options on the ebike. Small items can be stowed in its integrated net pockets. In addition, waterproof panniers are available that have space for A4 documents and notebooks up to 15″ in size. The panniers available in crystal white/energy green and matt dark grey/flame orange also boast numerous inside compartments and a padded, anti-slip shoulder strap. The panniers are made by our cooperation partner Ortlieb.

Further accessories for the ebike will be available from the autumn. These will include a smartphone holder, high and comfortable handlebars, two different angled seatposts and two saddles in crystal white/energy green and matt dark grey/flame orange.

But not only are there lots of trendy accessories for the smart ebike – fans of the smart fortwo electric drive can also choose their favourites from a large assortment. For example, a pin enables them to show that they support cutting-edge electric mobility.

The smart electric drive T-shirt also demonstrates clear commitment to the brand and the model. Here, the new smart fortwo electric drive can be seen as a green outline on the white T-shirt – even at night because the print on the front and rear is reflective. The breathable T-shirt made of 100% polyester is available in the sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL.

The new smart electric drive solar charger is an innovative and environmentally-friendly way of charging smartphones. Mobile end devices are docked there via a USB connection. Further practical accessories include a USB stick (4 GB) made of hard rubber in the shape of a smart fortwo electric drive and a key ring with the new electric smart as a shopping trolley chip.

And for the youngest fans of zero-emission mobility there is the kids’ electric car in an electric drive design in the colours crystal white/energy green. The car is approximately one metre long. The body is made of plastic and the chassis is made of metal. Battery and charger are included in the scope of supply.

Mercedes-Benz Accessories Expands Wheel Collection

Mercedes-Benz Accessories currently offers 170 different wheel designs, including two models for the new Mercedes-Benz SL

High-sheen bichromatic wheels and large wheels up to size 53.34 cm (21-inch) continue to enjoy great popularity. Accordingly, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH is expanding its range of these light-alloy wheels. Just in time for the changeover from winter to summer tires, the new models are available for numerous model series. In all, the diverse product range from Mercedes-Benz Accessories currently comprises around 170 different wheel designs, including two models for the new Mercedes-Benz SL, that is available at Mercedes-Benz dealerships as of March 31.

High-sheen bichromatic light-alloy wheels derive their additional appeal from the interesting contrast between the apparently bare metal surface and the painted areas. They lend the vehicle a yet more exclusive appearance and are considered by the designers at Mercedes-Benz to be more than just a passing fad. Accordingly, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH is now extending its range of bichromatic wheels. The popular wheels in single-tone painted finish also remain available.

The trend towards larger wheels fitted flush with the outer body contours is also continuing in all categories of vehicle. This design style signals power, dynamism and driving stability. Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH also has new products to offer in this area – such as the 5-twin-spoke wheel in bichromatic design in size 53.34 cm (21-inch) for the M-Class.

For spring 2012, Mercedes-Benz Accessories is offering new light-alloy wheels for numerous vehicles including the following model series (situation as per March 2012):

Highest quality standards

The same high safety standards apply to all the light-alloy wheels on offer – there are no differences in quality between the models belonging to the standard and optional equipment and the versions available from Mercedes-Benz Accessories. All wheels are required to meet the same high standards. Neither certification nor registration with the TÜV technical inspection authority are required when fitting the light-alloy wheels from Mercedes-Benz Accessories, as they all form part of the vehicle homologation. The customer always receives a product which is tailored perfectly to Mercedes-Benz vehicles: it supports their exemplary ride comfort and high driving dynamics and fulfils the high requirements of the design idiom, additionally combining high performance with an outstanding service life.

These merits result on the one hand from close collaboration between the vehicle development staff and the wheel development specialists. In order to win their Mercedes stars, wheels additionally have to pass a comprehensive test programme which goes well beyond the statutory licensing requirements for use in road traffic. This includes effective testing procedures geared towards the toughest service conditions encountered in real driving conditions, even extending to tests in cutting-edge x-ray systems and computer tomographs.

Care and handling tips

Even the best development programme, the most innovative production technology and a perfectly coordinated test programme are unable to influence how customers treat their vehicles, including the valuable light-alloy wheels. The manner in which wheels are handled continues to have a major influence on their value retention and the safety of the vehicle. Useful tips:

  • Clean the winter/summer wheels thoroughly after changing in the spring/autumn, regardless of whether steel or light-alloy wheels are fitted
  • Do not use aggressive cleaners. Products recommended by Mercedes-Benz are gentle agents which will clean the wheels effectively
  • Do not clean with sharp or rough sponges
  • Observe the specified wheel tightening torques. Wheel bolts which are too tight or too loose will damage the wheel in the long term
  • Do not oil or grease wheel bolts, as at the specified tightening torque this will result in excessive pre-stressing, which may cause damage to both wheels and bolts
  • Use only genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts
  • Check the wheels after they have taken heavy knocks, e.g. when driving through deep potholes. If deformation is visible, be sure to have the damage checked at a dealership
  • Fit only the size of tyre approved for the wheel
  • When carrying high payloads and/or towing a trailer, adjust the tyre pressure accordingly and be sure to observe the permissible wheel loads
