Mercedes-Benz Models With Environmental Certificates

Its realisation requires incorporating environmental protection into products from the very start. Ensuring that this happens is the task of environmentally compatible product development.

In the world of fighting hunger, innovation comes in many forms. It can come from a new use of technology—like our Stephen J.

Michael Bloomberg: Automakers, Developing Nations Must Commit to Auto Safety

Many developing countries have lax vehicle safety standards. Around the world, road crashes kill an estimated 1.3 million people each year and injure up to 50 million.

The result: An awful lot of people are being killed in crashes that, in the U.S. and Europe, they would likely survive.

Retiring Doesn’t Equal Disconnecting

After so many years of living my life by the clock and my Outlook calendar, I sometimes wonder what it must be like for the residents we serve when they first retire. The majority juggled demanding personal and business schedules. Did they feel a sense of relief when they no longer had to check a personal device to stay on top of their day – or was there a void?
