In June, we speculated about how Mercedes-Benz could potentially launch an
electric-only brand. We didn’t have a name for the brand. Now we do. And
it’s really very silly.
EQ. That’s it, according to Auto Express, anyways. Mercedes has filed a
bunch of UK trademark applications this month, with names that use the EQ
prefix.
From the story:
...Recent trademark applications suggest that Mercedes is lining up a range
of vehicles that will carry the ‘EQ’ prefix in their names - and that
they’re likely to exist under a more conventional sub-brand called MEQ. The
firm has asked to register everything from EQA and EQB through to EQX. It
has also applied to register slogans including ‘EQ inside’, ‘EQ boost’ and
‘Generation MEQ’; these would probably be used in the firm’s marketing
material for the new range of vehicles.
While that all sounds very exciting, the moniker does not. It looks and
sounds like a hodgepodge of letters. It looks and sounds like alphabet soup.
Or a vision test. Or a setting on a vintage Walkman.
