Bengaluru is part of Mercedes-Benz’s 140-year global anniversary tour
The German luxury automotive brand marked its transcontinental tour, which will touch 140 places across 23 countries and five continents, with celebrations across its Bengaluru campuses
Mercedes-Benz celebrated its 140-year anniversary by visiting Bengaluru, India, as part of its "140 Years, 140 Places" global tour. The transcontinental drive, which departed from Mercedes-Benz's headquarters in Stuttgart earlier this year, has traveled over 40,000 kilometers across 23 countries and five continents. The three S-Class sedans, named after the automobile pioneers Carl Benz, Bertha Benz, and Gottlieb Daimler, began their India leg with stops at two Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) offices in Bengaluru.
MBRDI, the company's largest research and development center outside Germany, plays a crucial role in the development of connected, autonomous, and electric mobility technologies. Established in 1996, MBRDI employs over 8,500 professionals and marked its 30th anniversary in Bengaluru with celebrations. The convoy will continue its global journey before returning to Stuttgart in October.
