\u00dcberherrn\/Shanghai – Rolfhartge GmbH returned from their debut outing at the seventh CSITF technology exhibition in Shanghai with two awards. Standing out from the high horsepower and \u201cBling, Bling\u201d normally associated with aftermarket tuning the innovative Rolfhartge Smart Luxury concept clearly impressed the expert judges at this mid-April event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne of the ten Most Popular Projects\u201d and\n\u201cThe Best of 2019 Among Ten Most Popular Projects\u201d out of over 900 national and\ninternational exhibitors – these were the accolades awarded to the Rolfhartge\nMR 500 with its innovative Healthcare Package. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach limousine\nas the platform for their Healthcare Package, Rolfhartge connects the dots\nbetween conventional high performance and health and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A revelatory combination of comfort, wellbeing\nand effortless performance meet in the MR500. Here all interior surfaces are\ntreated with a liquid glass coating normally used to sterilise human prostheses\nbefore surgery, and keep surfaces in intensive care units free of harmful\nbacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another highlight of the Healthcare Package\nis the AIR PURIFIER CAR, an industry first in cabin air filtration. This\nspecial filter uses environmentally friendly photocatalysis to kill harmful\nmicroorganisms, germs, odours, vapours, and capture solvent evaporation from\ninterior plastics. In combination with the titanium dioxide-coated interior\nsurface of the housing, a UV light tube is used to reduce nitric oxide\nemissions, a recognised air pollutant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third innovative technology in the MR\n500 is a magnetic field generator built into the rear seats. Another first in\nan automobile application, the smartphone App controlled magnetic field system encourages\ndilation of the occupants veins, \u201cincreasing blood circulation speed by up to 2.5\ntimes\u201d, says Rolf Hartge, quoting the Institute for Microcirculation Berlin.\nIncreased blood circulation leads to a better supply of nutrients and oxygen to\nthe body\u2019s organs and enhanced purification of the blood cells. The result is\nimproved regeneration and increased wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rolfhartge GmbH attended CSITF as part of the\nofficial Delegation of the Saarland, and Guest of Honour. With this year\u2019s\nevent boasting 1,200 exhibitors and around 50,000 trade visitors, CSITF is one\nof the biggest and most important trade fairs for international technology\ntrade in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The core philosophy of the event, \u201cBetter\ntechnology, better life\u201d, was supported by the theme, \u201cInnovation driven\ndevelopment, protection of intellectual property, and promotion of the\ntechnology trade”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MR500 limousine that took pride of place\non the 400 sq. m Saarland stand was a focus of interest for political and\nbusiness representatives as well as general visitors to the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2016 Rolf Hartge and his son Hendrik put\ntogether a small team of experienced specialists for a comeback to match or\nexceed the level of service his valued customers enjoyed before his retirement\nin 2007. The new company, Rolfhartge GmbH is recognised by the Federal Motor\nTransport Authority (KBA) as a vehicle manufacturer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The accolades gained so far serve to\nreinforce the unique market positioning and goals set out by current Rolfhartge\ndevelopments. \u201cSimply duplicating what the competition already offers was never\nan option for me,\u201d explains Rolf Hartge. \u201cWe set out to radically reinterpret\nthe concept of luxury vehicle personalisation, eschewing the traditional\ninterpretation of tuning by focusing instead on innovations in design, health,\ncomfort and a feel-good atmosphere. In short, Smart Innovations meets Luxury to\ncreate our Smart Luxury concept.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Rolf Hartge philosophy\nluxury is not an end in itself, but rather the combination of pleasure with\ninnovative added value. \u201cThe car is increasingly becoming the third living\nspace alongside home and office, and the onset of semi-autonomous driving only\nunderlines this,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To take full advantage of this new dimension\nin personal mobility, Rolfhartge has moved the emphasis towards value added\nareas such as health and wellness. This approach is especially appreciated by\nclients in the Middle Kingdom, which has a long tradition of health enhancing\npractices such as magnetic therapy and acupuncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a first step, this new elemental\ninterpretation of tuning at Rolfhartge sets out to provide a clean and germ\nfree interior environment with optimum air quality in their vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based in \u00dcberherrn, Saarland, Rolfhartge\nGmbH specialises in the smart customisation of Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach\nvehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their export-oriented conversions take an\ninnovative approach to alloy wheel design, ride comfort and bespoke interior\nappointments, with special focus on occupant health and wellbeing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
