Valued at US$ 38 billion, it was the world's largest ever cross-border deal. The terms of the merger allowed Daimler-Benz's non-automotive businesses such as Daimler-Benz InterServices AG, "debis AG" for short, to continue to pursue their respective strategies of expansion. debis AG reported revenues of $ 8.6 bn (DM 15.5 bn) in 1997. The merger

6319-609: The synergy effects in development and production were low. As late as 2002, DaimlerChrysler appeared to run two independent product lines. Later that year, the company launched products that did integrate elements from both sides of the company, including the Chrysler Crossfire , which was based on the Mercedes SLK platform and utilized Mercedes's 3.2 L V6, and the Dodge Sprinter / Freightliner Sprinter ,

6408-460: The system would gradually prime brake pressure and apply – with maximum deceleration power – if necessary. In the case of a crash, the system can bring the vehicle to a standstill. Later iterations of the system on cars equipped with an Automatic Cruise Control system are improved by combining radar and camera detection during fog, rain, and other situations where normal camera operations may be compromised. Beginning on

6497-484: The time the accident enters the phase when loads peak, the extra distance they are retracted by can be used while dissipating energy in a controlled fashion. Pre-acceleration and force limitation allow the occupants to be temporarily isolated from the effects of the crash, significantly reducing the risk and severity of injuries in a frontal collision. Nissan's Infiniti brand offers both laser-based and radar-based systems. Brake assist with preview function anticipates

6586-843: The turn signal and adjusts the vehicle’s speed accordingly. 2021: Honda introduced the Honda SENSING 360 system, enhancing the original with omnidirectional sensing. This system helps eliminate blind spots and reduce collisions by using five millimeter-wave radar units and a front camera. Key features include Front Cross Traffic Warning, which alerts drivers to approaching vehicles at intersections; Lane Change Collision Mitigation, which helps avoid collisions during lane changes; and Collision Mitigation Braking, which provides braking assistance at turns. It also features Adaptive Cruise Control with Cornering Speed Assist, adjusting speed during cornering for smoother navigation. The application of Honda SENSING 360 will begin in 2022, starting from China, with

This shall be ensured up to the maximum operational speed of the system. The activated system shall avoid a collision with a leading vehicle (...) The activated system shall avoid a collision with a cutting in the vehicle (...) The activated system shall avoid

6853-497: The vehicle. According to Euro NCAP, AEB has three characteristics: Time-to-collision could be a way to choose which avoidance method (braking or steering) is most appropriate. A collision avoidance system by steering is a new concept. It is considered by some research projects. Collision avoidance system by steering has some limitations: over-dependence on lane markings, sensor limitations, and interaction between driver and system. The emergency steering function, known as ESF,

6942-514: The vehicles for no reason, according to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). As of September 2019 , Nissan considered the issue strictly as a "performance update" by issuing technical service bulletins—at least three since January 2019—that pertain to reprogramming the radar control unit, according to the agency. At least 553,860 cars are potentially affected from

7031-461: The world's first C-pillar made with polycarbonate from CO 2 electrolysis in an effort towards a fully carbon neutral fleet. In September 2020, the company was fined 875 million dollars by the United States for having violated the Clean Air Act . It agreed to pay $ 1.5 billion to settle all related court actions. In February 2021, Daimler said it planned to rename itself adopting

7120-563: The world. In 2015, Daimler held interests in the following companies: Until the end of 2011, the company had also held shares in McLaren Group. Daimler held 25% of MV Agusta of Italy until 2017. Daimler sold its 50% stake in Engine Holding , to its joint venture partner, Rolls-Royce Holdings in 2014. It is now called Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG. Daimler used to own 50.1% Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation of Canada but

7209-572: The year. Only Core segment sales declined by 2%, with 1,096,800 units sold due to supplier bottlenecks and the transition to the new E-Class . The key trends for the Mercedes-Benz Group are (as at the financial year ending 31 December): Ola Källenius became the Chairman of Mercedes-Benz Group and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars on 22 May 2019.
