The further into 2024 we go, the more ways we are seeing to reduce harmful pollution in the air. Transportation, an industry that contributes nearly 30% of heat-trapping air pollution in the U.S., is taking charge of changing its contribution.
Mercedes-Benz is ecstatic to unveil innovations with the 2024 EQS and EQE electric vehicles, specifically for its SUV, sedan, and hatchback models. The innovations presented by Mercedes-Benz include an improved regenerative braking system, heat pumps, plans to boost EV efficiency focus, and more usable battery capacity (118.0 kilowatt-hours) for the EQS SUV.
The company strives to be at the forefront with EV designs and upgrades, demonstrated through the belief that EVs provide instant power to the vehicle, a reduction in noise pollution, and greater torque and acceleration when compared to conventional, air-polluting vehicles.
It's a time for much optimism as companies of all sizes are capitalizing on technology that ensures clean air, water, and food for resilient communities.
Innovations in EVs, for example, come in response to the growing desire for clean energy in other areas of daily living. Clean energy adds value to communities by decreasing planet-warming gases, allowing others to enjoy better health.
As the Department of Energy recently announced an investment of $18 million in communities that have historically been underresourced, government officials, executives, scientists, and others are all coming together. The shared mission of uplifting all groups of people while finding solutions that have an impact for the years to come gives way to ideas that will significantly improve the quality of life for communities.
In the case of Mercedes-Benz, EV sales increased by 248% year over year to 43,202 last year, accounting for 15.3% of total volume, as InsideEVs reported. Vehicles that utilize clean energy are generally safer, cost-effective, and perform efficiently, encouraging others to commute with less concern.
