The Vegan Society has partnered with Mercedes-Benz to offer a new all-electric C-Class with optional vegan-certified interiors, marking the second vehicle from Mercedes to feature interiors made without animal ingredients, derivatives, or testing. Buyers can choose the Mercedes C-Class with ARTICO replica leather interior fittings, such as seats, steering wheel, and center console, all verified by The Vegan Society's Vegan Trademark team. The electric Mercedes C-Class boasts 800-volt technology and a 94 kWh battery, providing a range of up to 762 kilometers and quick 10-minute recharges.

This new collaboration showcases Mercedes-Benz's commitment to providing vegan alternatives to customers, following last year's debut of the electric GLC with EQ Technology and its "Vegan Package." Other car manufacturers are also exploring vegan-friendly interiors, with Hyundai and Renault making strides toward offering animal-free leather car interiors. The development of electric cars, vegan interiors, and animal-free leather showcases a growing trend in the automotive industry towards sustainable and ethical practices.
