The Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud is the digital foundation of Mercedes-Benz. It offers a reliable infrastructure, many frameworks, functions and processes as well as guidelines and applications for connected cars and MB.OS features. Among others, our Charging Station Platform solution and Software Update are operated on the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud.

The Charging Station Platform provides Mercedes-Benz customers with data and services related to charging stations for electric vehicles and services in the Mercedes-Benz environment such as charging station information from various providers, an availability forecast and the possibility of starting the charging process without a charging card (Plug & Charge). We are responsible for the entire development, operation, security and analytics of the platform.

Stay always fresh – that's what we expect from our software. With over-the-air updates, we live up to this claim. Software Update refreshes control units and apps at the touch of a button – regardless of whether the vehicle is at the customer's site, in an auto repair shop or still on the production line. Together with Mercedes-Benz units, we build essential parts of the Update and are responsible for upstream documentation, release and planning processes.

In the onboard and embedded environment, we develop control units for future Mercedes-Benz series. Our software intelligently combines the worlds of functions and mechatronics. Specific control units that give drivers a moment of good feeling before and during their journey are the Central Exterior and Interior Controller as well as the Mobile Access Unit for the digital key.

The Central Exterior and Interior Controller centralizes various control units and vehicle functions from the comfort and safety sector in one control unit. Functions such as ambient lighting and air conditioning, as well as the locking function and anti-theft device ensure that Mercedes-Benz drivers feel completely comfortable and safe while driving.

Smart devices have become indispensable as smart, constant companions in everyday life. With smartphones, for example, credit cards and tickets have been digital for a long time now – so why not the car key? With our Digital Key, Mercedes-Benz drivers are no longer bound to a physical key, but always have it with them on their smartphone. Our Digital Key comes with additional advantages: it can be shared with several people and provided with properties such as time validity, speed/power limit or geofence.
