A racing tyre becoming part of a Mercedes-Benz interior? Yes, really. | #shorts

In this episode of Tech Explained, our Techsplainer Rob Halloway explores LABFIBER, a biotechnological leather alternative made using used Mercedes-AMG GT3 racing tyres, recycled materials and bio-based resources. In the full episode, Rob breaks the process down step by step. Labfiber is one project within Tomorrow XX, a technology programme exploring the limits of technical feasibility. What is shown here reflects a current development stage and is intended to illustrate potential approaches pursued by Mercedes-Benz. The technology is not yet available and not used in series vehicles. Check out the main video to see how it works! #MercedesBenz
