Mercedes-benz Generation EQ
Look at the mercedes benz car future " Mercedes
Benz EQ "
Mercedes-Benz EQ stands for Electric Intelligence.
“The emission-free automobile is the future,” said Dieter Zetsche, CEO of
Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars. He said the new EQ brand goes beyond
electric vehicles and stands for a comprehensive electric ecosystem of
services, technologies, and innovations.
The SUV coupé concept is the forerunner to a new
product brand for electric vehicles. It has two electric motors and scalable
battery components to increase output up to 300 kilowatts. The SUV also has
permanent all-wheel drive and a range up to 300 miles—slaying the Tesla Model
X.
The new generation of electric vehicles will be
based on an architecture developed specifically for battery-electric models,
and it is scalable in every respect and usable across all models. It is also
suitable for every body style. Future vehicles will use a mix of steel,
aluminum, and carbon fiber to keep their weight down for added efficiency.
The center console appears to float in space and has
touch-sensitive elements. Climate controls and infotainment are also activated
with the touch of a finger on the steering wheel. Side mirrors are replaced by
cameras to view traffic behind the car and project the information onto
displays in the doors which are themselves opened with a single touch.
It is a four-passenger vehicle with the stereo
speakers integrated into the head restraints and three screens in the back of
the seats for rear-seat entertainment. The navigation map shows all the
destinations that can be reached on the current battery charge. Generation EQ
has Car-to-X technology, meaning it can exchange information with its
surroundings as part of its suite of drive assist technologies and to let
drivers know of nearby charging stations.
Beyond the vehicle itself, EQ attempts to be an
electric mobility ecosystem with products, services, technologies, and
innovations including charging services and home energy storage units.
Zetsche said this marks an “electric product
offensive that will cover all vehicle segments, from the compact to the luxury
class.”
