In addition to cars and Formula 1 racing, could Mercedes-Benz also move into the defence sector in the future? According to CEO Ola Källenius, the idea is at least not off the table.
In an interview with the The Wall Street Journal, the Mercedes-Benz chief said the company would be open to supporting Europe’s growing defence efforts.
"The world has become more unpredictable, and I think it is quite clear that Europe needs to strengthen its defence capabilities," Källenius said. "If we can play a positive role in that, we would be prepared to do so."
