Redefining the automobile once again, Mercedes-EQ launches the all-electric 2022 EQS Sedan. Designed to exceed all expectations, the completely new EQS from Mercedes-EQ is the first-of-its-kind fully electric luxury vehicle. While the EQS is a close relative to the new S-Class, the electric architecture is all its own. This sedan marks a major milestone in integrating progressive mobility with executive-class luxury.

Seductively sculpted, the EQS is one of the world’s most aerodynamic production vehicles available today. Upon approach, one notices the ultra-sleek exterior with an LED light band that stretches across the entire front grille, offering a taste of the captivating beauty that lies within. The automatic comfort doors open and close — automatically.

The beautiful design extends seamlessly inside the sleek interior, revealing the available Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) Hyperscreen. Exclusive to the EQS, this 56-inch curved-glass instrument panel stretches from door to door to seamlessly merge three screens. A zero-layer interface eliminates the need to scroll submenus or provide voice commands, as the most essential applications — charging, entertainment, phone, navigation, connectivity, massage and more — are available given the situation.

The heart of the EQS beats with the next-generation lithium-ion battery, a sophisticated, high-energy density that sets a benchmark in performance, efficiency and charging capacity. The integrated navigation uses Electric Intelligence to calculate the route while taking into account charging stops, weather conditions and topography — helping to ensure the journey flows as smoothly as the EQS itself. With easy charging opportunities in the densest network of charge points, the EQS can get a quick boost in just 15 minutes. And, unlike traditional gas-powered engines, the EQS electric engine has its own soundscape, designed to uniquely carve out space for tranquility within the cabin. —Mike Hunter

Workplace restaurant delivery and catering platform Foodja recently launched Foodja Cafe, an employee lunch program designed to encourage employees to return to the office. Offering a reliable and cost-effective workplace benefit, Foodja Cafe allows employees to order their own customized meals from their favorite local restaurants. It has seen great success as employers adopt hybrid work schedules.

Employees are looking to order their own personalized, individually packaged meals from local restaurants while employers are looking to create a great workplace experience to welcome employees back to the office. Our Cafe product serves both needs.

Traditional employee benefits such as 401K and health insurance are great to attract and retain employees, but they are expensive. Foodja encourages them to come into the office, mingle with co-workers during lunch, and increases their productivity.

Developed to meet the unique catering and meal program needs of companies, Foodja can accommodate businesses with 20–20,000 employees. The Southern California-based company is currently operating throughout California, Arizona and Texas, with plans to expand to additional U.S. markets. —Steve Sprinkle, founder and CEO of Foodja (foodja.com)
