EQ Power: launch of preproduction of plug-in diesel hybrid: Next milestone in electrification: plug-in hybrids with diesel technology are coming
The Geneva Motor Show will see the debut of two new #mercedesbenz preproduction models that combine state-of-the-art diesel technology with the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed hybrid transmission. Like the S 560 e (combined fuel consumption 2.1 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 49 g/km)[1], the C- and #eclass plug-in diesel hybrids will in future use third-generation hybrid technology. Delivery of the first models is scheduled for late summer 2018. At the moment, the company is making systematic preparations for series production of the new plug-in hybrids, with its engineers taking the last important steps on the way to the start of production. Also new: an intelligent, connected variant of the Mercedes‑Benz wallbox will make for easier charging while offering a series of additional functions via a new app.
Plug-in hybrids represent a key technology on the road to a locally emission-free future for the motor vehicle. They offer customers the benefits of two worlds: in town, they run in all-electric mode, while on long journeys they profit from the range of the combustion engine. #mercedesbenz will for the first time combine the state-of-the-art four-cylinder diesel with the third-generation hybrid drive. The result: even higher efficiency, remarkable ride comfort and dynamic performance as well as an impressive range.
As the strengths of plug-in hybrids come to the fore, especially in larger vehicles and on mixed route profiles, #mercedesbenz is now opting for this powertrain concept from the #cclass upwards. A key advantage in the strategic hybrid initiative is offered by Mercedes-Benz's intelligent, modular hybrid concept: designed to be scalable, it can be transferred to a large number of rear-wheel drive model series and body styles as well as left- and right-hand drive variants. Hybridisation makes the combustion engine more efficient while delivering a more dynamic performance and greater driving pleasure.
