Mercedes-Benz showed the way ahead in environmentally responsible electromobility by presenting its near-series Concept BlueZero car at the Detroit auto show.
Based on a single vehicle architecture, this intelligent, modular concept allows three models with different drive configurations, all of which are able to meet customer requirements in terms of sustainable mobility.
BlueZero E-Cell has battery-electric drive and a range of up to 200 kilometres using electric drive alone. The BlueZero F-Cell (fuel cell) can reach up to 400 kilometres using electric drive while the BlueZero E-Cell Plus has electric drive and a range extending additional internal combustion engine as power generator.
This version has an overall range of up to 600 kilometres and can cover a distance of up to 100 kilometres using electric drive alone.
"The flexible BlueZero concept allows electromobility for every requirement and highlights the fact that Mercedes-Benz is the world's only car manufacturer to already have in place all the key technologies for electric cars offering full everyday practicality," said Frank Bernthaler, director, sales and marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars Middle East & Levant.
All three BlueZero variants share the same key technical components, while the design and vehicle dimensions are identical. Measuring just 4.22 metres in length, the front-wheel-drive BlueZero models combine compact exterior dimensions with a generously proportioned and variable interior and luggage compartment.
