Driving Digital Future. Now

Driving Digital Future. Now

IO stands for input/output: we build upon qualitative and quantitative customer input gained through customer surveys, testing and tracking data, as well as the expert knowledge of our employees. We translate such insights into digital products, generating an output for the digital future of the Mercedes-Benz brand and its customers. Want to drive the digital future of Mercedes-Benz? We typically don鈥檛 have someone who tells us what to do or how to do it. We find our tasks proactively and start working on them. Our hands-on-mentality is supported by flexible working hours or the possibility to work remotely. If we do need guidance, we can always talk to our advocate or draw feedback from our colleagues. Not only our offices are open, but also our minds and a culture that allows and encourages diversity. We have weekly lunch events named CTC (Culinary Training Course) where we have joint lunch while listening to a presentation from our colleagues or external speakers.

The topics may vary from basic web development knowledge to nutrition tips. We work in a flexible organizational structure that is based on roles instead of hierarchies. Every role complies with a purpose that is being questioned regularly. We keep our vision on our goals and then decide how to get there. Create experiences that people love and we are proud of. Our open-source philosophy allows us to use the best state-of-the-art technologies, resulting in a versatile company-wide set of tools. Everybody is encouraged to experiment and try-out the latest apps and frameworks in order to always keep refining our design and development workflows. Who knows, maybe you鈥檒l be the one who鈥檚 adding the next icon to our stack! Holacracy allows us to react to changes quickly. Agile behavior is reflected in our software and also in our organizational development. With the focus on the purpose of the company and each role we remain motivated and work transparently. We are organised in circles. People are assigned roles. Every role has a purpose and accountabilities.

The New Insignia range comprises eight trim levels starting with Design, and going up to Elite. There are also two trims - Energy and Limited Edition - which package generous equipment levels popular with retail buyers. And a further two trims - Design and Tech Line - that package comprehensive levels of equipment for company car drivers. The New Insignia range offers big savings over key competitors for company car drivers. 鈥楾he New Insignia family not only offers refreshed styling, new engines and cutting-edge infotainment, but also big savings for company car drivers,鈥?said James Taylor, Vauxhall鈥檚 Fleet Sales Director. Pricing for the New Insignia starts at 拢16,279 for the Design and goes up to 拢29,329 for the top-of-the-range Elite model. Full pricing and range details can be found in the price guide in this press kit. The new Insignia features cutting-edge infotainment with many existing features radically simplified over the outgoing model.

Vauxhall technicians set three developmental criteria when working on the new Insignia鈥檚 infotainment offering safety, simple operation and personalisation. Most importantly, any infotainment must offer maximum safety for driver and passengers, with the lowest-possible distraction from road traffic. The system also had to be clear and simple to operate and drivers and passengers had to be able to individualise it to their personal tastes. The centre console has a completely new look and feel. It has a host of state-of-the-art technologies and functions. The control panel was simplified and the operation of the infotainment system as well as air conditioning or the premium FlexRide chassis is now fast and intuitive. The new infotainment generation is part of the IntelliLink family introduced in the ADAM this year. Thanks to user-friendly IntelliLink technology, smartphone functions can be optimally integrated into the car. In the Insignia, the driver can choose between four different operating possibilities.

The new system Navi 900 Touch can be controlled over an 8-inch colour display with touch operation. The degree to which the system can be individualised is unique - up to 60 personal favourites can be stored. While earlier infotainment systems only enabled the selection of radio stations, driver and front passenger in the Insignia can now also choose their personal favourites in navigation, telephone and entertainment. For example, the most popular radio station is directly next to the most important telephone numbers on the display, which are just one fingertip touch away from the stored business address in the navigation directory. The touchpad is ergonomically integrated in the centre console and offers a completely new way of quickly and intuitively accessing the infotainment system. Its touch-sensitive surface recognises handwriting and reacts immediately to finger movements, vibrating lightly to give noticeable haptic feedback and making operation of the new infotainment generation simple and without distracting the driver. To move the cursor, just one finger is needed, followed by slight pressure on the touchpad to open the selected menu option.
