Just like most other car manufacturers, Mercedes-Benz is electrifying its product range, and the equally iconic and polarizing G-Class won’t be an exception. At the 2021 IAA Mobility show in Munich, the German car manufacturer showed its Concept EQG, an electrified version of the original “G-Class” that, at least according to Mercedes-Benz, refuses to compromise when it comes to off-road capabilities.

“A cross-country vehicle which has remained true to itself for more than 40 years ventures a step into the future,” states Mercedes-Benz on the retro futuristic Concept EQG web page. “The Concept EQG combines its iconic origin and uncompromising off-road capabilities with futuristic elements of the Mercedes-EQ world.”

To promote the new car, Mercedes-Benz filmed an epic 70s space opera that explores the future of mobility, reminding us all that our present, with cars like the Concept EQG soon to be available for purchase, would like the future to people 50 years ago.

The Concept EQG has a striking two-tone paint job and an illuminated grille that reminds us of the Suzuki Jimny. Additional LED lights can be found on other sides of the vehicle as well, including an LED light bar at the front and a third brake light at the back.

Mercedes-Benz hasn’t released much technical information yet, but we know that the Concept EQG has four electric motors mounted close to the wheels. The motors are mated to a shiftable two-speed gearbox, whose goal is to ensure that the car has enough off-roading capabilities to overcome even the trickiest obstacles.

Since the current version of the electric G-Class is nearly ready for production, it’s unlikely to change dramatically before it rolls off the production line for the first time. Unfortunately, we don’t know when that will be, so we all have to patiently wait and hope it won’t be too far in the future.

altegio expands to uae driving digital transformation for local businesses

Altegio, a digital business ecosystem featuring sophisticated online booking and management solutions, has announced its entry into the UAE market, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate digital adoption for local enterprises.

This expansion also complements the UAE’s Digital Economy Strategy, which aims to increase the digital economy’s share in the nation’s non-oil GDP to over 20% by 2031. Projections indicate the UAE’s digital sector could contribute an estimated $140 billion by 2032, highlighting the region’s commitment to fostering a modern, tech-driven economy.

Altegio’s platform offers over 30 distinct management tools that automate as much as 80% of routine business operations. Its suite of services includes online booking options, a customizable mobile app, robust financial and inventory management, analytics, SMS and email marketing, and a customer loyalty program.

Altegio’s key differentiator lies in its customer-focused approach to business automation. Unlike many platforms that redirect customers to external sites, potentially exposing them to competitor services, Altegio’s booking system is embedded directly within each company’s own ecosystem. This prevents “cannibalization” of clients and enhances customer loyalty by maintaining a consistent, secure experience.

By providing a comprehensive suite of business automation tools, we aim to not only accelerate operational efficiency but also redefine how businesses engage with customers”.

Founded in 2022, Altegio operates as a network of independent firms with offices in the UAE, Brazil, Hungary, Cyprus, Armenia, and several other nations. Each regional hub integrates local partners and technologies to enhance Altegio’s core offerings. The company’s impact includes an annual gross merchandise volume (GMV) of $1 billion, a client base of over 10,000 across 89 countries, and more than 4 million bookings each month on its platform.
