SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 20, 2025 – Mercedes-Benz is redefining the idea of working on the go by expanding its collaboration with Microsoft, introducing cutting-edge in-car productivity features that promise convenience, safety, and seamless integration for busy professionals.
Starting with the all-new CLA, the automaker is rolling out enhanced versions of Microsoft’s business tools within its latest MB.OS-powered MBUX system — making the vehicle a smarter, more connected workspace for people on the move.
Meetings for Teams App: Stay Connected, Even on the Road
Mercedes-Benz is the first car manufacturer to launch a version of the Microsoft Teams app that allows the use of the in-car camera while driving — a game-changer for professional connectivity. Designed with safety at its core, the camera complies with local regulations and disables distracting content like shared screens or slides, ensuring the driver remains focused on the road.
The latest app update offers a smart dashboard with:
- The "Next Meetings" feature for quick glance at upcoming appointments
- Fast access to frequent contacts
- An enhanced chat function for reading and composing messages
- Voice control for hands-free text input
- A seamless transition from the calendar straight into a Teams meeting
With these features, Mercedes-Benz is making business communication easier and safer, even during busy commutes.
Microsoft Intune: Your Secure Office on Wheels
By integrating Microsoft Intune directly into its MB.OS, Mercedes-Benz provides a secure, enterprise-grade workspace within its vehicles. This means customers can:
- Log in with business accounts
- Effortlessly switch between professional applications
- Keep personal and business data separate
IT administrators can centrally manage access and enforce security policies, ensuring the vehicle meets corporate security standards — just like a company smartphone. This setup also supports other productivity apps like MBUX Notes and Calendar, enhancing flexibility for business users.
Microsoft 365 Copilot: AI-Powered Productivity on the Go
In partnership with Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz is bringing Microsoft 365 Copilot to its latest models — one of the world’s first in-car applications of generative AI. With voice commands, drivers can:
- Summarize emails
- Access client information
- Manage daily tasks without taking their eyes off the road
By turning the car into a third workspace, Mercedes-Benz offers a productivity experience that complements both office and home office settings.
A Vision for Seamless, Safe Connectivity
Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, emphasized:
"Through our industry-leading collaboration with Microsoft, we are making it even easier for our customers to stay productive while on the move. By integrating the latest Microsoft workspace tools, such as Microsoft Teams, directly into our new operating system, MB.OS, we've created an intuitive and safe user experience that boosts efficiency and reduces distractions at the same time."
Availability and Future Outlook
The rollout of these innovative productivity features will begin with the new CLA, powered by the latest generation of MB.OS. With this step, Mercedes-Benz not only enhances the driving experience but also reshapes how professionals manage their workday — offering a unique blend of mobility, connectivity, and security.
