Mercedes ESF 22 Concept - 1973

Experimental Safety Vehicle

 

The ESF 22 was the third milestone in Mercedes' ESV Program. This international research program sought to improve the safety standards in automobiles. Thanks to airbags and belt tensioners, the ESF 22 gave the occupants a good chance of survival in the event of a head-on impact against a rigid barrier at 65 km/h.
