The German premium car maker Mercedes-Benz has announced their new Mercedes ESF S400 Hybrid Concept 2009 — an Experimental Safety Vehicle meant for ultimate road safety. It is their first vehicle of this nature since the ESV 24 which was introduced at the 1974 Geneva Motor Show. The new ESF features some of the most innovative technologies these days. It has an inflatable metal structure for crash protection, an auxiliary emergency braking system built into the floor, airbags installed inside the seat belts and reflective tires for better grip.
The Mercedes ESF S400 Hybrid Concept 2009 interior, along with standard air bag and restraint systems is fitted with seat bolsters that shift the passengers about 50mm into the centre of the cabin should the car sense that a side impact is about to take place.
