The restoration of the 540 K Streamliner represents one of the most complex projects ever undertaken by Mercedes-Benz Classic. Virtually every part needed no longer existed, so every detail either needed to be created or tracked down in the Mercedes-Benz Classic Collection. But how far back in time did Mercedes-Benz have to go to complete this complex restoration project? All the way back to 1938, when this vehicle was first built, to help build a unique, one-off creation. In 1938, the Special Vehicle Production Unit at the Sindelfingen Plant spent every single day, year after year, building the very finest exclusive cars. The plant developed a certain routine, and their modern-day successors at Mercedes-Benz Classic encountered the question time and time again during various stages of their work: “How did they do that?” Overcoming these challenges and improving the original methods helped make the new 540 K Streamliner restoration as precise as possible.

For road vehicles, wind resistance increases fuel consumption. But one way to fight wind is with wind. Researchers in Sweden are experimenting with reducing drag on trucks with electric wind devices that mimic the way vortex generators increase lift on airplane wings.
