Envisioning, designing, engineering, testing and certifying the most desirable cars in North America.
At Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, we translate local technology requirements into the most desirable cars for customers in North America and we pioneer the most desirable technologies from North America for Mercedes-Benz.
We take pride in our pioneering culture and our work ranges from design and development of hyper-personalized experiences, automated drive systems and electrified powertrains to adapting and certifying Mercedes-Benz cars for the North American market.
Market Adaptation & Certification
Our market adaptation, validation and certification teams ensure the suitability, integrity, and compliance of our products with the most demanding customer, legal, technical, and ethical standards. We define market requirements and push charging, driver-assistance, emissions and telematics systems to the limits during laboratory and field tests to ensure our vehicles meet our customer’s high expectation and regulatory requirements.
Digital Experiences
We strive to “give our customers time back” by providing the safest and hyper-personalized connected automated driving and infotainment experience. We are the global AI center of Mercedes-Benz and collaborate with local partners to pioneer the latest technologies.
Design
Our design team brings the style of California into Mercedes-Benz show and production cars using a wide variety of design tools from clay modeling to virtual reality. Recent show cars that have emerged from our design center include the AMG Vision Gran Turismo, Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Coupe and Cabriolet, Vision EQ Silver Arrow, and Vision C111.
Electrified Powertrains
We develop electrified powertrains for the Mercedes-Benz, AMG, EQ, G, and Maybach lines for customers around the world. Our capabilities range from battery research via inverter software to powertrain calibration.
