Mercedes-Benz unveiled a timetable of new electric vehicles incorporated on a scalable constitution that will enable the automaker to tailor its production to a array of vehicle types as well as shapes.

The new models are:

• The flagship EQS luxury sedan, which Mercedes said would be part of the automaker's S-Class articulation as well as will go into production in 2021
• An SUV version of the EQS, the EQS SUV, coming in 2022
• The EQE sedan, not clashing Mercedes' E-Class vehicles as well as purported as the "business pickup of the future"
• An SUV version of the EQS

In addition, the Mercedes EQA, a bunched SUV based on the automaker's GLA series, will go into production latterly this year, followed by the EQB crossover SUV in 2021. That's a total of six new electric vehicles reported over the normalcy of the next two years. This will go a stretched way toward indulgence Mercedes realize its goal of releasing 10 new EVs by 2020. The EQS will be the first incorporated on Mercedes' new modular electric vehicle platform.

Mercedes is still befitting a lot of ingredients approximate these vehicles under wraps, literatim as well as metaphorically.
