They may indeed, but I don't know that it will be because of Froehlich's estimation for ICE phase-out. Will Mercedes stop producing combustion engines much sooner than this? Possibly. But I'll bet they won't go on record promising such a thing at this time. PHEVs are likely to have quite a run.
Is this completely unreasonable?
~2030: All passenger cars and light trucks are PHEV or EV (Still need combustion engines)
~2040: All passenger cars and light trucks are EV (Still need combustion engines)
~2050: All heavy trucks and specialty vehicles are EV (including FCEV) (Combustion engines gone)
If it is, then what, exactly, is a reasonable timeline?

It's possible. If so, he'll simply move the timeline or get bounced.
