Gashi Motors News According to Reuters, Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kaellenius said the company’s investment in internal combustion engine vehicle technology has exceeded previous plans, including investing $15 billion in internal combustion engine passenger cars this year.
Kang Linsong revealed that Mercedes-Benz is investing in factories and research and development to redesign the transmission system of its hybrid vehicles so that it “can last into the next decade.
” Mercedes-Benz has also spent “more” money than usual to retrofit its internal-combustion engine version of its flagship S-Class sedan, which is scheduled to be available in mid-2026.
Kang Linsong added that if our engine technology cannot maintain the highest level, the internal combustion engine business may face the risk of stagnation in 2027 or 2028.
Previously, Kang Linsong had told investors that the company would continue to launch its internal combustion engine models as demand for electric vehicles slowed.

The parallel development of internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles may take longer than originally thought.
Since consumer demand for electric vehicles has not reached the expected level, the price of electric vehicles will still be higher than that of internal combustion engine vehicles after many years of development.
If consumers have enough demand for internal combustion engine models, the company will continue to sell internal combustion engine models after 2030.
, Mercedes-Benz originally planned to achieve its goal of reaching 100% sales of pure electric vehicles by 2030 “if market conditions permit.
” Now that Mercedes-Benz has lowered its set target, Conlin Song said earlier this year that Mercedes-Benz expects sales of electric vehicles (including pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles) to only account for 50% of the company’s total sales by 2030.
