Mercedes-Benz well placed to handle global auto disruption: Ola Källenius

The Chairman of the Board of Management believes that things are moving along well for the luxury carmaker both on the product and technology side. The company, according to him, is absolutely on a roll and at the forefront of the movement.

Mercedes-Benz is well positioned to navigate global automotive disruption, backed by strong product and technology capabilities, double-digit R&D investments and a debt-free industrial balance sheet.

The automotive industry faces mounting challenges from China’s price competition, EU emission regulations, US tariffs and geopolitical tensions, making cost optimisation and supply chain resilience critical.

Mercedes-Benz plans to strengthen India’s role in global R&D, leveraging its largest R&D centre outside Germany and capabilities across software, AI, engineering and powertrain technologies.

Ola Källenius , Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, says the automobile industry is in the midst of a massive transformation wave which is playing out across the world. “There are many balls in the air here and the main one is that the automotive industry is in transition, transformation and I would even say disruption. And what is driving this disruption is the road to zero emissions ,” he told ETAuto at a media roundtable in Pune on Wednesday. This quest (for zero emissions) was the ultimate destination for all stakeholders and it now boiled down to just a question of how long it would take. Advt

“It marks a major industrial reshaping of perhaps the biggest industry in the world, including the energy industry that is attached to it,” added Källenius.
