“Where do we take it from here?” This pivotal question, posed by Ola Källenius, Chairman of Mercedes-Benz Group, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, marked the inception of an extraordinary collaboration. Mercedes-Benz joined forces with the creators of the Avatar films, forging a global partnership aimed at pioneering the next era of carbon-neutral vehicle production and underscoring the urgent need for a sustainable future. This groundbreaking alliance gave rise to the Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR – an acronym for “Advanced Vehicle Transformation” – a concept car that challenges the boundaries of automotive innovation.
Drawing profound inspiration from Avatar, the VISION AVTR is more than just a vehicle; it’s a visionary concept that explores a completely novel interaction paradigm between humans, machines, and the natural world, offering a compelling glimpse into the automotive dreams of tomorrow. Emulating the harmonious existence of the Na’vi with their environment, the VISION AVTR is meticulously engineered for sustainable operation with zero emissions, fostering a deeper connection with the world around us. Its comprehensive system operates entirely independent of fossil fuels, powered by graphene-based organic cell technology, devoid of rare and toxic materials. This innovative power source empowers the vehicle with an impressive range of 435 miles, while its conductive charging technology enables a full recharge in a mere 15 minutes. Significantly, the components of this organic battery are compostable and fully recyclable, underscoring the crucial principles of a future circular economy.
