Gauzy in Reverse Despite Mercedes-Benz Link
Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ: GAUZ), a global leader in light and vision control technologies, today announced that its smart glass technologies have been implemented by Mercedes-Benz in approximately 75% of the glazing in the new Vision V show car. The Vision V is a luxurious and elegant chauffeur-driven limousine that redefines comfort, offering a new realm of indulgence and elegance.
The world premiere of the Vision V was on April 22 at the Mercedes-Benz Brand Day in Shanghai. As of today, the Vision V will be displayed at the Auto Shanghai 2025 Show (April 23–May 2, Booth 4A10).
This collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, the inventor of the automobile, re-affirms the strength of the ongoing partnership between the two companies, and Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to integrating smart glass technologies into vehicles. While Mercedes-Benz has utilized SPD (Suspended Particle Device) and PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technologies separately for over a decade, the Vision V marks the first time Mercedes-Benz selects Gauzy’s dual technology smart glass windows.
This configuration combines both SPD & PDLC into a singular glass unit, enabling a wider range of dynamic shading, privacy, comfort and digital environment applications.
Mercedes-Benz was the first OEM to introduce SPD into serial production through its Magic Sky Control panoramic roof with Research Frontiers (NASDAQ: REFR), where Gauzy is a strategic shareholder and the only licensed manufacturer of SPD technology.
GAUZ shares dipped 42 cents, or 4.1%, to $9.87.
