Mercedes-Benz: 50% of its sales will be PHEV or electric by 2030

Ola Källenius, who steps into the position of Daimler CEO from May 22, has laid out his Ambition2039 environmental plan for the automaker. According to Källenius, the company sees the "Paris Agreement [on climate change] is more than an obligation – it’s our conviction". As such, Mercedes-Benz is aiming to have plug-in hybrid or pure electric vehicles constitute over 50% of its car sales by 2030.
