Daimler Tweaks Management Culture Based On Study

Emmanuel P November 29, 2012

It seems the all work and no play adage has influenced mighty Daimler AG too. Recognizing that a balance between work and an employee’s life beyond the work impacts on productivity as a whole, Daimler commissioned a study from the department of Occupational and Organizational Psychology at the University of Heidelberg to assess and take advantage of work-life balance opportunities for the company. According to Wilfried Porth, Management Board Member for Human Resources and Labor Relations Director: “Our world of work is facing fundamental changes. More and more employees, both men and women, want fulfillment in their careers while also being able to take care of their children or other… Continue Reading »

Wald Shows Wild G55 At SEMA

Emmanuel P November 28, 2012

Seen at the recently concluded SEMA show was this wild-looking Mercedes-AMG G55, as interpreted by Japanese tuner Wald International. Featuring a ventilated hood, a new front grille, revised headlights, LED daytime running lights, a larger front bumper, and wider wheel arches, the brawny G55 was then given a purple-hued exterior. Thankfully, it’s only a wrap, so more conservative aficionados won’t have to moan about Wald destroying the car’s OEM finish. Predictably, a new set of alloy wheels was installed by Wald. The result is a weirdly aggressive-looking G-Class that looks just about ready to transform into an ally of Optimus Prime. As a show vehicle, it certainly is eye-catching and… Continue Reading »

Replacement S-Class To Once Again Pioneer Safety Technologies

Emmanuel P November 27, 2012

Mercedes-Benz has always been a pioneer in introducing vehicle safety systems on passenger cars, with the marriage of active and passive systems occurring about 10 years ago with what Mercedes called the PRE-SAFE system. As everyone is aware, the march of technology has been very rapid, and the upcoming systems in the replacement S-Class will seem like the stuff of science fiction if a person from the 1960s were reading about it. With the S-Class’ premiere next year, Mercedes-Benz will be introducing technologies like DISTRONIC PLUS, BAS PLUS, Cross-Traffic Assist, PRE-SAFE PLUS, Night View Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST and PRE-SAFE PLUS. As Prof. Dr. Thomas Weber, the Daimler Board Member for… Continue Reading »

U.S. GL63 AMG May Cost Twice That Of Base GL

Emmanuel P November 27, 2012

We all know the adage, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. It’s something that the majority of Mercedes owners may not really worry about. But Mercedes-AMG fans do know that the in-house tuner’s products have a hefty premium. So, if the base GL-Class costs around $60,000 dollars, well, computing twice that amount is a no brainer. That’s a hefty chunk of money, and a few would-be buyers would probably think twice about shelling out that amount. But the AMG badge doesn’t go on a Mercedes product without some solid engineering behind it. In the GL’s case, it’s primarily the 550 horsepower powertrain coupled to a seven-speed DCT… Continue Reading »

Artist Takes Inspiration From SL Interior

Emmanuel P November 26, 2012

Anybody who owns a Mercedes sedan can relate with the sense of luxury that ensconces you as soon as you settle yourself in the interior. For those who can’t get enough of Mercedes design, there is of course the Mercedes and Formitalia partnership which has been offering Mercedes-designed chairs, lounges and tables. Apparently though, this is not enough for some individuals, as Mercedes has collaborated with South African designer Katie Thompson in coming up with an SL-themed furniture collection. Having established herself as an artist who recycles different objects to be repurposed into furniture, Thompson set her sights on turning a Mercedes SL’s interior into office-worthy furnishings. For example, the… Continue Reading »
