T​he luxury car manufacturer is expected to reveal more details on this topic later this
month at an event featuring CEO Ola Kallenius.

T​his news comes as a bit of a surprise as Mercedes recently claimed the plan was for EVs
and PHEVs to make up for roughly half of its sales by the end of the decade. Following
new claims from the one of the brand’s officials, this original plan seems to have been
scrapped.

U​nfortunately, it is unknown as to how AMG will tackle this. Developing engines by itself
will certainly be a tall order unless the company decides to opt for a different method of
producing their vehicle, perhaps electrifying them.

C​larification on all this should be given on July 22 when during Merc’s strategy day
presentation.
