No other carmaker does as much research as Mercedes-Benz on forward-looking safety technologies against the ordinary hazards of road traffic. But we also provide outstanding protection against highly specific risks: Mercedes-Benz Guard.
Our special protection vehicles combine the human desire for mobility and for safety in a unique way, namely, directly ex factory. Beginning with the bodyshell, in much the same way as a standard production saloon a new, original vehicle, designed to your personal safety needs, is created from scratch. This principle of authentic design we term integrated protection.
Integral ex factory protection has been our guiding principle from the very beginning. In 1928 we developed the first Mercedes with special protection and since then we have made many enhancements in the face of ever-increasing threats to safety.
In close cooperation with internationally recognised authorities, over the past 80 years Mercedes-Benz has maintained its production and development expertise at the most current level to provide you with the highest protection possible.
We build special protection vehicles which are ahead of the rest.
In the closely guarded manufacturing facility, on a dedicated production line, in fine-tuned interaction between skilled craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology, a steel shell is manufactured that makes the occupant compartment of your Mercedes-Benz Guard a protective cell. Thus, in bodyshell production a completely independent vehicle design, able to withstand exceptional loads, extreme loads, is created. Particularly those places which will no longer be accessible later on are fitted and reinforced with strong protective components.
In every phase, specialists ensure that the particular requirements of special protection are implemented while also keeping the Mercedes-Benz promise of quality.
