近日，HPP 为戴姆勒公司设计的工程运营中心（EHO）大楼建造完成。项目位于辛德尔芬根，戴姆勒历史最为悠久的汽车制造工厂就在这里。作为世界领先的汽车制造商，戴姆勒公司以生产豪华轿车而闻名，如著名的梅赛德斯-奔驰。该大楼的建设如今已经完美收官，目前已投入使用。面对汽车行业富于变化的形势，新的工程运营中心对于戴姆勒而言具有重要的意义。

Recently, HPP has completed the Engineering Hub Operations (EHO) designed for Daimler AG. The project is located in Sindelfingen, Germany, where Daimler’s most historical Mercedes-Benz plant is situated. As a leading automaker, Daimler is famous worldwide for being one of the biggest producers of premium cars and the world’s biggest manufacturer of commercial vehicles. Currently, the building has been put into operation.

新 EHO 大楼为戴姆勒2,000名左右的员工提供办公座位，并设有大约4,500 平方米的灵活工作空间。办公楼最大化地利用天然阳光，保证楼体内部条件处于最佳状态。办公楼层的设计致力于提供开放灵活的办公环境，塑造便于交流、激发灵感的工作氛围。新大楼的整个计划过程充分使用了科技手段，它是使用了封闭式BIM*完成的。

The new Engineering Hub Operations building provides work stations for about 2,000 employees and around 4,500 m² of space for workshops that encourage innovative ways of working. The office floors are designed to create an open and flexible working environment, as well as a communicative and inspiring atmosphere. The whole process of the project was completed with the 3D model-based process of Closed BIM*.

戴姆勒在汽车行业中拥有当之无愧的领先地位。它在2018年《财富》世界500强中名列第16位，而其竞争对手特斯拉仅仅在去年才成功晋级该名单，并在2018年由383位上升到第260位。作为领先者，戴姆勒早已洞察到汽车行业正在面临的深远变化，深谋远虑地积蓄力量，力求以主导者的姿态参与这场变革。

Daimler is an absolute leader in the car manufacturing industry, ranked #16 in 2018 Fortune 500 list, while Elon Musk’s Tesla has just newly been included into it in 2017, ranked #383, and then moved up to #260 this year. As an industry leader, Daimler is well aware of the fundamental transformation brewing in the automotive industry, and sees itself as the driving force behind this change.

戴姆勒的商业战略可从其近年来的行动中得以窥见。2014年，戴姆勒收购了两家汽车电池制造公司 Li-Tec Battery 和 Deutsche Accumotive，以提高其锂离子电池制造能力；该公司还将在明年第二季度生产其首款全电动汽车梅赛德斯-奔驰 EQC，以抗衡当前由特斯拉主导的电动汽车领域。在2017年的公司年报中，戴姆勒披露了其雄心勃勃的“瞰思战略”，力图从智能互联、自动驾驶、信息共享和电动汽车四个方面努力，以掌舵汽车行业的未来。

Daimler’s business strategies can be seen through its proactive moves during recent years. In 2014, Daimler has acquired two automotive battery manufacturers, Li-Tec Battery and Deutsche Accumotive, to ensure the supply of lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, it has planned to launch its new all-electric EQC, the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle under the EQ brand, around the mid of 2019, to get more competitive in electrically powered vehicles, a sector currently dominated by Tesla. To be more specific, in its Annual Report 2017 Daimler has shared its future-oriented CASE Strategy: Connected, Autonomous, Shared & Services, and Electric, which well rendered its ambition to steer the future of the automotive industry.

作为世界500强办公建筑设计专家，HPP 设计的办公楼致力于为戴姆勒打造开放灵活性的办公环境。汽车行业正在变得前所未有地引人入胜，戴姆勒也在经历从传统汽车制造商的转型，期待新的 EHO 大楼助其达成更为出色的业务表现。

The automotive industry has become more fascinating than ever before, and Daimler is transforming itself from a traditional automaker into a provider of intelligent mobility services. As an office building designing expert for many Fortune 500 companies, HPP Architects dedicates to provide an open and innovative working environment for Daimler’s ever more outstanding performance.

* HPPEDIA: About BIM

科技正在改变建筑楼宇的设计、建造和运营方式，我们本次的EHO项目对BIM的运用便是一次有益的尝试。BIM（建筑信息建模）是一项智能的3D模型处理程序，它将一个项目不同领域的信息汇集并整合在数字模型之内。封闭式BIM是指同一个项目的所有参与方使用同一款BIM软件来执行这一过程。它使得跨学科领域的交流更为便利，并促进项目中方方面面数据的无缝共享，从而达到优化合作的目的，并获得更为迅速和精确的输出。

Technology is transforming the way that buildings and infrastructure are designed, constructed and operated, which HPP has experienced with the application of BIM in this EHO project. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that includes information of different disciplines within a project into wholly integrated modules. CLOSED BIM means that all participants of a project worked with the same BIM software. It facilitates multidisciplinary communication as well as seamless sharing of project data, thus improving collaboration and leading to faster, more accurate output.
