Mercedes-Benz, which is owned by Daimler, said this year that it would be prepared to phase out internal combustion engine models by the end of the decade, “wherever market conditions allow”.

The Stuttgart-based manufacturer has rolled out electric versions of its flagship S-Class saloon and E-Class models in recent months, and plans to offer emissions-free versions of the rest of its line-up. Smart, the brand Daimler co-owns with China’s Geely, is already fully electric.

John Elkann spoke nicely of Daimler during the Ferrari Conference Call (now Mercedes Benz AG):

John Elkann

That's a great question. We actually have had good conversations with YASA, of course, but also with Daimler. And the level of customization that they're working with us is such that those technologies are not going to be applicable to others. And working with a company as ours is very stimulating in terms of being able to just push boundaries further.

So that is a good example of how we do think that we are going to be able to actually partner with more counterparts and where there's probably no company as Ferrari, who really can be a partner to just push boundaries. And the good thing is also because of the nature of what we do and the volumes we have, it's a very good laboratory to really try and see what works and how it works. So we're very excited about the opportunity. We think for YASA, Daimler is a good home. And we believe that within the industry and more importantly, outside of our history, we are going to benefit very much from partnerships and joint programs.

Surprise to see lack of reaction, through I did predict Daimler (now Mercedes Benz AG) working towards to a merger with Stellantis:
