Mercedes G-Class Platform Could Become More Sustainable
Mercedes-Benz has decided that the G-Class will live on for the foreseeable future.
In an interview with Car and Driver, Daimler R&D chief Thomas Weber spoke about the G-Wagen’s future saying that the discussion on ending its production is “truly over” and the question is how the German automaker will move forward with it. “It’s possible that we will, at some point, put it on a more sustainable technological base.”

Weber also said future versions of the “G will always remain a G,” suggesting that even if the high-end truck does grow a little greener, it will still be true to the current car.
