Mercedes Benz EQV and new EQ Concept headed to Frankfurt 2019

The Frankfurt International Motor Show is scheduled for September 10-22, 2019, and Mercedes will be showing off some of their electric vehicle plans.

Of course, most of the recent press release talks about their gasoline powered vehicle, but there are 2 electric vehicles mentioned.

Mercedes-Benz will present a new show car that will “celebrate the world premiere of a vehicle that embodies the flexible, customer-oriented and sustainable vision” of the EQ line of vehicles. This could be the Mercedes EQS that has been spotted out in the wild under heavy camouflage recently.

This Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle under heavy camouflage is likely the upcoming EQS electric sedan

The company will also show the all-electric high-capacity sedan labelled the Mercedes EQV (they call it a sedan, but most would call it an electric van – and a beautiful van it is).
