    The year’s Formula One races will take place near major Epson bases providing prime opportunities for the company to showcase its technologies and products. The partnership also allows Mercedes and Epson to promote their advocacy of minimizing the industry’s environmental impact through eco-friendly research, development, and product manufacturing. In fact, the champion Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 W05 Hybrid car was 30-percent more fuel efficient than its predecessor and the technologies it used have been applied to Mercedes-Benz consumer vehicles.
