In the new year, Mercedes-Benz presents its future blueprint for a sustainable and software-driven future with new products. On January 4, the Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX concept car debuted in the world, which will be the most energy-efficient model in mercedes-Benz history, and the car uses the brand's cutting-edge powertrain, lightweight engineering technology and a large number of recyclable materials, not only reducing the wind resistance coefficient to 0.17, but also having a single charge range of more than 1000 kilometers. The model is also software-driven, with a large number of lightweight technologies and sustainable materials, and a forward-looking use of human brain bionic technology.
Conlinson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG, said that the VISION EQXX concept was launched 18 months ago and is now hailed as mercedes-Benz's most energy-efficient model ever. According to reports, the car has excellent power and endurance system, the use of advanced digital modeling technology for interdisciplinary research and development, design and development team for the VISION EQXX concept car to give ultra-smooth design, with ultra-low rolling resistance and aerodynamic optimization of the tire, so that it has a wind resistance coefficient as low as 0.17. Thanks to the new electric drive system developed in-house, the VISION EQXX Concept achieves efficient use of energy. Mercedes-AMG HPP has developed a new battery pack specifically for the VISION EQXX concept car, which achieves an energy density of nearly 400 Wh/L through advanced anode chemistry and a highly integrated battery pack, with a battery volume close to 100 kWh only 50% of the new EQS and a 30% weight reduction. The vision EQXX concept car has a single charge range of more than 1,000 kilometers after digital simulation of real road conditions, and the energy consumption of 100 kilometers is less than 10 kilowatts, which can cover more mileage with less energy consumption, which can be described as "four or two thousand pounds".
In terms of design, the VISION EQXX Concept has many forward-looking concepts. For example, the eye-catching Alubeam silver exterior, the retractable rear diffuser, when retracted, blends seamlessly into the body, ensuring balance, proportion and lightweight aesthetics at the rear. Moreover, high-performance biotechnology materials are widely used in vision EQXX concept cars: the door handles are made of biodegradable pure plant silk; the seats are made of two outstanding leather alternatives – made of raw cactus and mycelium, respectively, and the carpets are woven from 100% bamboo fiber.
The concept car uses a number of digital technologies for user interfaces and experiences. Mercedes-Benz engineers used an innovative information processing method called neuromorphic computing that reduced energy consumption by several orders of magnitude and increased the wake-up speed of "Hello, Mercedes-Benz" to 5 to 10 times faster than traditional voice control functions. At the same time, it is equipped with the brand's first completely 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 has worked across borders to jointly develop the first 3D real-time navigation system that is compatible with this size of the screen, which can enlarge the satellite screen to a height of 10 meters in the 3D city view, outlining a new digital luxury world.
It is reported that at present, a number of functions applied in the concept car have been applied to the mass production car, and more advanced technology will be installed in the subsequent mass production Mercedes-Benz models.
【Car World Reviews】
With this energy-efficient model in the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand, Mercedes-Benz is revolutionizing its fundamental approach to electric mobility. On the high-end electrification track, Mercedes-Benz is showing its strength as a century-old car company, and now it is a "latecomer", which seems to have more accumulation of confidence in the face of challenges from new forces such as Tesla.
