With Vision URBANETIC Mercedes-Benz presents a revolutionary mobility concept that goes way beyond existing ideas on autonomous vehicles. Vision URBANETIC eliminates the separation between people moving and goods transport. It enables on-demand, sustainable and efficient movement of people and goods – and applies an innovate approach to fulfil the needs of cities, businesses from diverse sectors as well as city dwellers and travelers. The concept reduces traffic flows, relieves inner-city infrastructures and contributes to an improved quality of urban life.
The visionary concept is based on a self-driving, electrically powered chassis that can take different switchable bodies depending on the intended use. As a ride-sharing vehicle with a people-mover body, Vision URBANETIC offers space for up to twelve passengers. The cargo module serves as a classic goods transporter. Thanks to its variable load floor, it can be divided into two levels and transport up to ten EPAL palettes. With a total vehicle length of 5.14 metres and a load space length of 3.70 metres, Mercedes-Benz Vans has suceeded in maxing maximum use of the available space.

More and more people will be living in cities in the near future and logistics will become a challenge. Already now information is at our fingertips via smartphone, the same scenario could be imaginable for goods: No matter when and where we are, the order can be delivered in the fasted and most direct way. In doing so, environmental stress like traffic jams and related emissions can be reduced. Together with the Menlo Park, California, based company Matternet, Mercedes-Benz Vans has developed the concept VANS & Drones. Merchants can dispatch last-minute orders via drone to the distribution vehicle that is already in the inner city centre. The drone can overcome traffic jams and other obstacles and the van will do the last mile delivery in the city.
