      Giving families the ultimate premium luxury small van for fans of recreational activities is what Mercedes-Benz presented with the introduction of the Concept EQT Mini-Van. To quote the press release: Concept EQT shows: We are consistently implementing our claim to leadership in electromobility and will also be offering a fully electric model in this segment in the future," says Marcus Breitschwerdt, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans. 

    Mercedes-Benz is expanding their portfolio with the forthcoming T-Class EQT small van. Mercedes says the T-Class design is distinguished by balanced proportions and a sensual surface design. Muscular shoulders, striking wheel wells underline the T-Class power and emotive appeal.

    The EQT has characteristic black panel front with LED healights that flows seamlessly from the bonnet and gleams with a star pattern. The various sized 3D stars are featured throughout the BEV from the front to the back and the 21-inch light-alloy wheels with a high-sheen finish to the panoramic roof and the electronic long board in the rear. You will also find an LED light strip that connects the LED headlamps with the rear LED rear lamps with the van finished in a high gloss piano finish.

    To quote the Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener, "The Concept EQT is a new, holistic van with the Design DNA of “Sensual Purity”

    The interior is an emotional, stylish statement according to the EQT team of blacks and whites. The use of luxury nappa plaited leather from seats to doors and center consoles with a strong use of recycled leather. Everything is a touch of luxury in soft touch surfaces, touch control steering wheel to interactive MBUX infotainment system. The ease of getting what you need done safely while driving is as easy as saying Hey Mercedes via the voice assistant system. This system is cutting edge with the use of A.I. to allow self learning in customizing the response and features to the owners. An example is if you routinely call someone on your way home from work, the system will suggest their phone number on the display at that time of day every day of your work week. MBUX helps with it's A.I. predictive functions.

    • Blame a democrat?  They want to start a civil war with the left yet at the same time complain why there is no empathy for dear ole Charlie and at the same time say that empathy is a made up word with no meaning and empathy is not only a human weakness but empathy is also evil.  Therefore... Is it really horrible  when it comes to death, regardless of how that death was arranged, of misinforming, misleading, false narrative, hate filled  pricks that fuel hatred, bigotry, sexism, racism, homophobic rhetoric designed to divide? For me...it is not horrible when garbage is taken out.  It is necessary.   A society lets people and politicians like Trump and Charlie to spew lies and hatred and divisions happen within that society. Fascism creeps in and takes control.  The truth gets buried and never comes back.  Free speech for me but not for thee is standard practice.  Political violence is tolerated ONLY by those who want to take control.  And in this case, religion is used as a shield.  I find it repulsive when Christianity is used and abused the way it has been by America as a Greek Orthodox practitioner myself.  I also find it repulsive when right wing a55ho77e5 want to silence me by using my kindness, my religion against me as saying I am of the tolerant left and I should NOT revolt back because political violence is not a defining Christian trait and freedoms of this and freedoms of that.  Yet...the right wing BREAKS ALL OF THE RULES.  Hate speech begets hate. Charlie fueled hate. Charlie got hate back. By his own ilk un-ironically. Charlie tolerated violence. School shootings and public executions. Charlie got killed in a school setting by a very public setting. All that he tolerated and was killed by the very thing he preached and praised. By his own flock un-ironically.  And he did not get ANY empathy as even he admitted that empathy is INHUMANE and evil.  Well, colour me inhumane and evil, but I am only following his doctrine.  About religion and violence...Greece is thousands of years old. Greece has seen ALL kinds of political violence in its existence. The Hellenic peoples have seen it all throughout our history on this planet.  About political violence and Christianity being or not being involved. If any of you do not know what was the Ottoman empire, I suggest you read a history book.     As you could see, even if I am not American, (although Im very close in being one), I MOURN the state of the US possibly MORE than some of you that are phoquing afraid to fight for your rights and freedoms!!!    Take BACK your country!!! 
    • Yeah, someone skilled with a rifle in Utah and they immediately wanted to blame a democrat 
    • (Notice  I chose old geezers to wish you a happy birthday?)    (notice that I used a donkey to simulate that Im joking?  Because I could be such an ass sometimes?)   
    • White cis male from a Mormon gun lovin' and totin' family, Halloween Trump costume wearin' Utah resident no less, at that.
