The Charging Unit at Mercedes-Benz Mobility:
Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG (MBM), with approximately 10,000 employees, specializes in financial and mobility services. The offerings range from financing, leasing, vehicle subscriptions and rentals, fleet management, digital services around charging and payment, insurance brokerage, to innovative mobility services. In the coming years, Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG will continue to focus on the 5 strategic dimensions of MBM 2025, one of which is Electrify our future. On the path to "electric only" charging is a crucial factor. We want charging at Mercedes-Benz to become a special customer experience. To build this holistic charging ecosystem as quickly as possible, we are establishing the Charging Unit at MBM, which consists of three pillars: public charging, home charging, and business charging.
Future: Absolutely!
In this exciting phase of technological change, we as a strong team bear the responsibility for the successful implementation of our topics, making a valuable contribution to our "Electric-Only" strategy pillar every day. To achieve this, we work closely together across teams and departments – within the Charging Unit at MBM, but also with our colleagues in sales, development, and IT. Our working method is based on an agile swarm logic and thrives on high flexibility and mutual support – even beyond team, department, and division boundaries. A "partnership-based cooperation" and "individual ownership" are crucial for us. Just as important are the highest standards for the results of our work, the "joy of constructive discourse" in the interest of the best solution. Without personal sensitivities, but with the clear ambition to "think and leap boldly forward."
Electromobility Meets Cybersecurity...
Charging electric vehicles should be convenient and fast. To achieve this, various digital technologies are used. Cybersecurity plays an important role. Charging stations, charging protocols, and cloud-based charging services must be robustly designed and securely implemented to withstand potential hacker attacks, protect users' private data, and pose no risk to critical energy infrastructure. For this, we develop solutions together with our partners, secured with state-of-the-art cybersecurity mechanisms in compliance with international standards.
