New Mercedes-Benz Is First-Ever Car With A Vegan-Certified Interior

Mercedes-Benz has made history by offering the first car with a vegan-certified interior, the electric GLC with EQ Technology. The "Vegan Package" includes seats, steering wheel, door trims, and centre console all inspected and certified by The Vegan Society. The move makes Mercedes-Benz the first car manufacturer in the world to receive the Vegan Trademark.

The Vegan Society tested approximately 100 material components to ensure they met the rigorous Vegan Trademark certification standards. The GLC is currently the only model with vegan-certified interiors, but Mercedes-Benz plans to extend the package to other models in the future. This initiative aligns with the growing consumer demand for vegan products, as research has shown that a majority of British people support the shift away from animal products in automobiles.
