Mercedes-Benz has already laid out its plans for a portfolio of electric and electrified vehicles, and now parent company Daimler has announced further strategy refinements for Mercedes-Benz and its other brands.

The refinements to Daimler’s electric-vehicle plans come as the urgency for zero-emission cars and trucks grows, and as China in particular prepare to ban the sale of vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines.
