New Car Lines Include Supplier's Battery Disconnect Safety Device

February 4, 2008, TROY, MICH. -- A leader in safety innovations for more than 100 years, Mercedes-Benz is among the first automakers to include Delphi Corporation's Battery Disconnect Safety Device (BDSD) on multiple new car lines.

Several Mercedes-Benz models incorporate Delphi's BDSD, including all C-Class sport coupes and luxury sedans and the M-Class sport utility vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz has always optimized leading-edge technology to assist in keeping passengers out of harm's way and Delphi's BDSD expands on that by preventing short circuiting that could occur following some collisions.
