Mercedes-Benz To Recycle Scrap Tires in New Production Process

From playground turf to raised flower beds, we know there has been no shortage of ways that the world has tried to make use of and/or recycle used car tires. Being no stranger to the sustainability conversation, Mercedes-Benz has come up with a new way to use this commonly thrown away item. In the past year, Mercedes-Benz has taken no small measure to try to reduce their carbon footprint. From the new Mercedes-EQ electric vehicle line-up including sedans and SUVs, to the various other on-going projects, the German company is always looking for new ways to become more ethical. In an effort to improve even more, Mercedes-Benz has been rethinking the composition of their materials. Ever the pioneers of the automotive industry, they have made it their goal to increase the share of recycled materials in its passenger car fleet to an average of 40 percent by 2030! This goal is what brought the use of tires to be. "Through close cooperation with our supplier network, we are replacing raw fossil resources with pyrolysis oil made in part from recycled tyres supplied by Mercedes-Benz. Components featuring this technology will enter series production in a number of our models as early as this year. We anticipate being able to chemically recycle several hundred tons of scrap tyres from Mercedes-Benz vehicles each year and to use the resulting plastic in our new vehicles. Together with our partners, we are closing the material cycle and actively driving the development of innovative recycling processes,” According to their website, they are working closely with their supplier in an effort to reuse the oil made from scrap tires by chemically recycling. This new plastic will apparently be certified in accordance with the mass balance approach, an independent certification that confirms that said supplier replaced the quantity of fossil resources from tire recycling. This will be the first time in history that pyrolysis oil from recycled tires will be combined with biomethane! Way to go, Mercedes-Benz and BASF! These new materials will match up to the Mercedes-Benz standard in safety and paintability. This is revolutionary for the automotive industry because these new parts will have the potential to replace a large number of vehicle components made from primary plastic. The Mercedes-EQ EQE and S-Class made in 2022 will be the first series-production models to include the new biomethane and pyrolysis materials that were created from the old tires. The S-Class will also include a crash absorber based on these materials. This huge step in material sourcing really goes to show that Mercedes-Benz is taking their Ambition 2039 mission seriously. This objective of Mercedes-Benz states that they intend to create a CO2-neutral new car fleet in less than 20 years. Being Mercedes-Benz lovers from Long Island, we are especially thankful that the company has decided to focus on the careful use of resources in their new manufactured vehicles. Sustainability has always been an important part of a Long Island resident’s life, whether you have been raised in Nassau County, Suffolk County, or out East, and we are glad that vehicle companies that people drive in the Huntington, Commack, and Northport area reflect that as well!

The Mercedes-Benz All-Electric EQS SUV

If you have been a part of the car scene for the past couple of months then you know that this is the era of the electric vehicles, or EVs for short. Every automotive company has been churning out electric versions of their most popular vehicles. Last year it was the 2022 EQS for Mercedes-Benz, an electric version of their flagship vehicle, the S-Class. Becoming an instant hit, Mercedes-Benz has furthered the Mercedes-EQ line with their all-new all-electric SUV: the EQS SUV 450+. This groundbreaking SUV is the first large luxury SUV from Mercedes-EQ that seats up to seven people. This Mercedes-Benz is expected to rival both the Tesla Model X and BMW iX with an estimated range of 373 miles. Similar to the 2022 EQS, the EQS SUV will have two trim levels: the 450+ with rear-wheel drive and the dual-motor EQS SUV 580 4MATIC. According to The Verge, "The 450+’s 265kW rear-axle motor will put out 265kW of energy, enabling 355 horsepower and 419 pound-feet of torque. The 580 4MATIC configurations front and rear-axle motors put out a combined 400kWh, for 536 horsepower and 633 pound-feet of torque.". Not only that, but the EQS SUV will also feature the Hyperscreen. With MBUX, Navigation, Voice Recognition with " Hey-Mercedes! ", Apple Carplay, Android Auto and so much more, you will truly have the world at your fingertips. Taking style direction from both the 2022 EQS, EQE, and EQB, the EQS SUV mimics the grille, single-tail light setup, and wheelbase size of 126 inches. Being an SUV, this new EV differentiates itself from the EQS by size of course. The EQS SUV will be over 7.8 inches higher than the 2022 EQS sedan. Sitting at a whopping 202 inches long, 77 inches wide, and 68 inches tall, the EQS SUV is slightly slimmer and shorter than the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. This electric SUV is scheduled to go into production at the Mercedes-Benz plant in the next few months, making the EQS SUV available to Mercedes-Benz drivers in Huntington, Northport, Commack, Fort Salonga, and all over the world very soon! Whether you take the EQS SUV on the Northern State Parkway, LIE, or even just Jericho Turnpike, this SUV is made to be eye-catching, advanced, sustainable, and convenient.

Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX to Have 620 Miles of Range

Mercedes-Benz has finally unveiled their brand new electric solar-powered concept car, the Vision EQXX. Said to be the most efficient Mercedes-Benz ever, there is a lot of hype surrounding the German company’s newest release. Through teases seen in three episodes on the Mercedes-Benz Youtube channel, Mercedes-Benz lovers all over the world watched as the future of the company’s EV plans were explained. The new Vision EQXX aims to achieve a driving range of more than 620 miles on a full charge. As Car and Driver states, “ While automakers revealing futuristic EV concepts tend to prioritize promises of performance over range, Mercedes-Benz is reversing that equation with the Vision EXX.”. This is shown to be true with the reported 201 Horsepower but 620 miles on a charge. This perspective really thrusts the auto-company even further into the sustainability conversation, following their recent release of the Mercedes-Benz 2022 EQS 450+ Sedan, their electric vehicle on par with the symbolic S-Class. If you have been reading anything about the EQXX you likely have heard of the 900-Volt Battery Pack that will be included. This special pack was created with the efforts of AMG's High Performance Powertrains division. They also develop Mercedes-Benz Petronas F1 Engines as well as the powerplant for the AMG One. If this battery is made by the same engineers that keep Lewis Hamilton going, we don't want to miss out on this! The battery operates at a whopping 900-volts and uses a compact design. This allows it to hold more energy while remaining a light weight for it's power. The exterior of the new solar-powered vehicle is both sporty and sleek, with design cues giving it a very low drag coefficient of 0.17. The vehicle will also feature 117 solar cells on the roof, built to offset the energy drain on the high-voltage system while also increasing the range. Mercedes-Benz has kept aerodynamics in mind with the shallow trunk angle and flowing design. The front face of the vehicle is also smaller than one seen on the compact CLA 250, and creates minimal resistance along with the shallow trunk angle. The interior of the EQXX is also something to brag about. Taking cues from the 2022 EQS yet still adding a breath of fresh air, Mercedes-Benz still keeps the environment in mind while moving towards the future. The Vision EQXX features a wide host of sustainable materials in the interior including mushrooms, bamboo, cactus, and vegan silk. Their aim in using these materials is to show that luxury does not have to mean you have to use animal products to achieve the feeling of comfort. Using these materials instead has halved their carbon footprint alone! Other than gorgeous new materials, the Vision EQXX nods to the EQS with the implementation of a massive 47.5-inch screen that goes across the full width of the new Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Unlike the Hyperscreen, which you can read more about on our 2022 EQS information page, the Vision EQXX is a one-piece display screen versus three. The Vision EQXX is still a concept-car but that doesn't make it any less of a display of the technology and design that Mercedes-Benz has planned for the future. We can't wait to see what else they come up with to push us towards a new future of EVs! If you're itching to go electric after the premiere of the Vision EQXX, don't fear! Check out our growing inventory of available Mercedes-EQ vehicles in Huntington, Long Island to hold you over in the meantime!

The Benefits of Owning an Electric Vehicle

The brand new Mercedes-Benz 2022 EQS electric vehicle has finally arrived at our Mercedes-Benz Dealership in Huntington and we are SO in love! Not only is the 2022 EQS beautiful, but it is practical in it’s functionality. By 2025, a high percentage of new cars will be electric, and as usual, Mercedes-Benz is one of the first to make the move towards the future. There are many benefits to having an electric vehicle on Long Island other than for obvious reasons. Other than the awe-inspired looks you will receive from everyone while driving down Jericho Turnpike, here are a few other benefits of owning an electric vehicle in New York, and across the country. Cost Efficiency Many people may be wondering, “Is owning an electric vehicle cost efficient?” or “Are electric cars better than gas cars? What are the benefits?”, to which the answer would be YES! Not only is it cost efficient but it is also 40% LESS than the cost to fill up your vehicle with gasoline. Given that electric vehicles also have less moving parts than normal vehicles, servicing them can be a lot easier and can be done less frequently. Mercedes me Charge also enables users to receive 30 complimentary charging minutes per session for the first two years from account activation. Reduced Noise and Air Pollution Not only is owning an electric vehicle good for your wallet, but it is sustainable and great for the environment as well. Other than the Mercedes-EQ line, Mercedes-Benz cares deeply about the planet, which you can read more about in our blog post, "How Does Mercedes-Benz Practice Sustainability" or by going through various projects of theirs on the Daimler website. Mercedes-Benz also utilizes a Green Charging feature. This ensures that the same amount of electricity from renewable resources is fed into the grid for charging electric vehicles, thus creating a demand for more renewable energy, promoting the furtherment of green power sources. Since EVs have no exhaust emissions, they have a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional vehicles do. Convenience There are many options to charge your electric vehicle overnight at your Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor, Northport, or Elwood home. You’ll never have to find a gas station again. For on the go, websites such as PlugShare, ChargeHub, Google Maps, and the COMAND Navigation built into your Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle can tell you where the nearest charging station is! Using ChargePoint and Qmerit, you can even get your own Level 2 charging station at home. Reduce Commute Time For those of you wondering, “Can I use the HOV lane by having an EV?”, the answer is yes! Having an electric vehicle not only saves you money, but also time, as they are entitled to use HOV lanes on the Long Island Expressway (LIE) due to the Clean Pass Program, and in other areas depending on local incentives. Performance Due to the fact that electric vehicles create instant torque, drivers can expect high acceleration speeds and increased towing capacity. Charging Charging is a lot easier with electric vehicles than you think! If you are wondering “How long does it take to charge my EV?” the answer is quite simple with the EQS. Level 1 Charging, 110V AC (Not Recommended): 4mi/hr Level 2 Charging 240V AC: 30mi/hr Level 2 Charging Stations can be found all around Huntington, Brentwood, Northport, Massapequa, and most surrounding areas as well! With a range of around 350 miles in the EQS, you can rely on your electric vehicle just as much as a regular car! As you can see there are so many benefits to having an electric vehicle that are more than what meets the eye. if you are still on the fence about them, here is your sign that electric vehicles are just as good as your normal C 300, GLB 250, or GLS 450. If you have any more questions or are interested in getting your own Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle, contact us and one of our Sales Consultants will be happy to help you out, or answer any questions that you may have!

Mercedes-Benz Teases New EQE, An Electric Vehicle Alongside The 2022 EQS

Earlier this year, German automobile brand Mercedes-Benz revealed the 2022 EQS, an electric vehicle modeled after the iconic flagship vehicle, the S-Class. Earlier on Thursday, Mercedes-Benz took another step into the electric vehicle scene after causing a well received commotion against companies such as Tesla by teasing that they will be adding a new vehicle to the electric clan, the EQE! Details leaked about the EQE have revealed that this electric sedan will be a slightly smaller version of the 2022 EQS 450+ sedan that most Mercedes-Benz lovers in New York have become familiar with. Akin to its name, the sizing will be similar to the MotorTrend Car Of The Year, the E-Class.  A teaser shot of the EQE also shows that the dashboard will be similar to the OLED Hyperscreen design featured in the aforementioned 2022 EQS as well. Although they may be similar, photos have shown that the EQE’s rear haunches and front fenders are more pronounced. The sedan is also rumored to have a short rear deck with an integrated spoiler. As mentioned on Thursday, Mercedes-Benz will be revealing a plethora of new electric-vehicle debuts to the 2021 IAA, including the EQE, an electric AMG, and even a possible electric Mercedes-Maybach. Much more information has not been released, but drivers in Huntington, Northport, Elwood, Commack and surrounding areas are on the edge of their seat to know what else will be featured in the newly announced EQE. To keep up with any updates regarding the Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle line, be sure to follow us on our Instagram @mercedesbenzliny and at our Facebook to be the first to know when we put up a new blog post! With the world moving towards a more electric future, we are so excited to see what else the brand has in store for us to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle in Nassau, and Suffolk County!

How Does Mercedes-Benz Practice Sustainability?

Today is Earth Day worldwide, so there is no better time than today to discuss what makes Mercedes-Benz an eco-conscious company with sustainability processes that we can be proud of because lets be honest, it’s 2021. Every single action counts right now whether it’s using a reusable grocery bag at the Whole Foods in Commack, to carpooling with a friend to our Huntington dealership! Electrically Powered Vehicles: The EQ Lineup First up in the plethora of actions that the German luxury vehicle company has taken, we have the Mercedes-EQ lineup: luxurious electric vehicles that are powered by a Lithium-ion battery. Electrically powered vehicles are the next wave in terms of cars that Long Island drivers, and people worldwide will be driving due to the fact that they reduce emissions and greenhouse gases that contribute to both climate change and smog. As we have just seen in the premiere of the Mercedes-Benz 2022 EQS, the EQ lineup represents the future of the automobile world with features such as Plug-In Charging, visionary technology exemplified by the Hyperscreen, elegant yet modern styling, while also retaining peak performance. Alongside the 2022 EQS 450+ Sedan, we have the likes of the EQC, EQV, EQA, EQB, EQS SUV, EQE, EQE SUV, and of course, the famous Vision EQS, with a few of the mentioned still in production. Deforestation Compliance Other than the EQ lineup, Mercedes-Benz practices sustainability in a multitude of other ways, one of them being the actions they’ve taken against deforestation, through their activities in the leather supply chain. Not only are they against deforestation, but they demand that their suppliers must be as well by making it a requirement in the supplier contract. The clause states that any materials processed come from areas outside of Amazônia, Cerrado, Pantanal, Gran Chaco, Mata Atlântica and Chocó-Darién. Suppliers are also required to comply with standards in areas such as working conditions, human rights, environmental protection, safety, business ethics and compliance. Mercedes-Benz also uses diverse leather substitutes such as DINAMICA, made of recycled polyester and water-based polyurethane, recycled Econyl fiber, made from yarns created with recycled carpets and old fishing nets fished from the oceans. CO₂-Free Electricity from 2022 Onwards Mercedes-Benz is taking a unique approach to green power concepts by collaborating with energy suppliers Enovos and the Norwegian energy producer, Statkraft. Germany houses the most power plants in which CO₂-free energy is generated using solar, wind and hydro sources. In a claim made on the Daimler website, the company states that from 2022 onwards, Mercedes-Benz will be purchasing electricity in Germany which comes exclusively from these said plants using renewable resources, with a new green power supply contract. These are just a couple examples on the long list of actions that Mercedes-Benz has taken to create a more livable future, that puts the state of our Earth into consideration. More examples include: A push towards CO₂ neutrality with the project Ambition 2039. A creation of a Supplier Ambition Rating for Sustainable Supply Chains. Using waste to create useful materials. The Blockchain Pilot Project: A project for transparency on C02 emissions of climate-relevant gases as well as the amount of secondary material along the complex supply chains of battery cell manufacturers. All of the various projects that Mercedes-Benz immerses themselves with goes to show that the brand is one for the people. It’s no wonder that drivers in Huntington, Commack, Northport, and all over New York trust Mercedes-Benz vehicles to put their family in. Whether your daughter is driving to Fort Salonga for soccer practice, your son is taking the dog to Sunken Meadow State Park, or even if you are going on a family trip to the Hamptons, you know you can trust your vehicle to keep you safe while being environmentally conscious. As quoted in their 2020 Sustainability Report, the statement “Sustainability anchored in our core business” really displays that this brand cares about the future, whether that be the future of our children, their children, or even the future of this Earth. Let’s be honest though, all of those are rooted in the same idea that the Earth is ours to care for, and that we want to protect it for the future generations to come. To learn more about sustainability actions taken by Mercedes-Benz or to find out how you can make the switch from your C-Class Sedan, E-Class Coupe, GLS or GLA SUV, to the eco-friendly EQS coming to our dealerships soon, contact our Sales Department, or check out our 2022 EQS Page to submit an interest form, and a friendly member of our staff will contact you as soon as soon as possible! Happy Earth Day, from our Mercedes-Benz of Huntington Family to yours!

The advanced vehicle also features compact electric drivetrains at each axle, giving it the sporty characteristics of all-wheel drive vehicles that we know and love.

Not only is this electric vehicle strong and fast, but it is convenient as well; charging from 10 to 80 percent can take as little as 40 minutes. Design Keeping with the Mercedes-Benz legacy, the 2020 EQC is modern and sleek, without taking away from it’s luxury. It features a sunroof standard to all vehicles, letting in the natural sunlight of wherever the road takes you.
