On January 4, Mercedes-Benz announced the world premiere of the VISION EQXX concept. The car reduces the wind resistance coefficient to 0.17, the mileage of a single charge exceeds 1000 kilometers, and a large number of lightweight technologies and sustainable materials are applied throughout the vehicle, and the human brain bionic technology is adopted.
It is understood that the research and development process of the VISION EQXX concept car uses a large number of digital tools such as virtual reality and augmented reality, starting from scratch to landing on the ground, which takes only 18 months.
Mercedes-Benz said that thanks to the new electric drive system developed in-house, the VISION EQXX concept car has achieved efficient use of energy, and its electric drivetrain will eventually transmit up to 95% of the battery energy directly to the wheels.
In terms of battery life, Mercedes-AMG HPP has developed a new battery pack for the VISION EQXX concept car, achieving an energy density of close to 400 watt-hours /liter, and its nearly 100 kWh battery volume is only 50% of the new EQS, with a weight reduction of 30%. The VISION EQXX concept car consumes less than 10 kWh of energy per 10 km/ 100 km and has a range of more than 1,000 km on a single charge after digital simulation of real road conditions.
In terms of appearance, the VISION EQXX concept car adopts the Alubeam silver exterior. The retractable rear diffuser retracts and blends into the bodywork, ensuring balance, proportion and lightweight design at the rear.
In terms of biotech materials applications, the vision EQXX concept car uses biodegradable pure plant silk for the door handles, two leather alternatives are used in the seats – made of cactus raw material and mycelium, and its carpet is woven with 100% bamboo fiber.
In addition, the concept car is powered by the brand's first fully seamless 47.5-inch ultra-thin all-in-one screen, and introduces a game engine and a fully optimized user interface. The R&D team also collaborated on the first 3D real-time navigation system compatible with this size of screen, which can zoom in on satellite images to 10 meters in a 3D city view.
Mercedes-Benz pointed out that at present, a number of functions applied in the concept car have been applied to the production car, and more technologies will be installed in the subsequent mass production Mercedes-Benz models.
