Daimler AG CEO Ola Kallenius will deliver a keynote speech at next year’s CES electronics show in Las Vegas.

Kallenius, who succeeded Dieter Zetsche as CEO in May, will speak during a pre-show event on Jan. 6. At the show, Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz unit will unveil a new concept car the company says will reimagine the interaction between humans, technology and nature.

Other confirmed CES keynote speakers include Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian, Quibi entertainment’s Meg Whitman and film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg. More than 140 automotive companies—including at least 10 carmakers—are scheduled to exhibit at the 2020 show, which will run Jan 7-10.

And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
