Mercedes plans to update its current EVA2 platform for next-generation EVs in an effort to save costs.
Mercedes-Benz has stopped development of a next-generation platform for mid- and full-size electric vehicles as the automaker seeks to reduce spending in the EV segment amid a slowdown in sales."The pace of transformation will be determined by market conditions and the wishes of our customers," the automaker said in a statement to Automobilwoche.to due to slower than expected EV sales, and that it will continue to offer vehicles with gas engines well into the next decade.

An electric GLC-Class on the platform is also in the works. The MB.EA Large was destined for successors to the EQE and EQS, and their respective SUV versions. According to the Handelsblatt report, Mercedes will instead update the EVA2 platform used by the current models, for their successors.In addition to the MB.EA Small platform, Mercedes also plans the MMA for compact EVs and hybrids, the AMG.EA for high-performance EVs from AMG, and the Van.EA for electric light commercial vehicles.
