Mercedes-Benz E 300 Blue Tec hybrid Short : the diesels

By Unknown
Who his life mainly in the city at the wheel at traffic lights and in traffic spend, which is a hybrid gasoline-operated well. For this he has developed. But life just does rather larger vehicles on country roads and highways. Because of the economical diesel drive. Who still wants to exploit the advantage of the hybrid system, it must then be combined with a diesel, as in 3008 and soon the Mercedes-Benz E 300 Blue Tec hybrid.

From June to collect the diesel-hybrid vehicles in the business of the E-Class. In the E 300 BlueTec hybrid, the 2.4-liter four-cylinder diesel engine of 150 kW / 204 hp with a 20 kW / 27 hp electric motor and a seven-speed automatic transmission is connected. The electric motor is located over 65 mm thick, slice between diesel and automatic. He can provide power when needed for acceleration and deceleration as a generator of energy in the 0.8-kWh lithium ion battery feed.

Although also a short time, the E 300 hybrid and electric slow the flow out of this little battery driving. But that was not the goal of the developers. Which was rather because, to save battery weight. They wanted a system that the benefits of a parallel (mild) hybrid utilizes full. So, you have also taught that the E 300, and yachting. The driver releases the gas to reduce speed or take advantage of a slope, turns off the engine, the car rolls or 'sails.

That in itself is not new to sailing a few. Mercedes-Benz is now further and invents, plus sailing. During normal sailing slows the generator / electric motor in the same measure, as would the engine drag torque in the case of rolling with a gear engaged. When sailing, plus the effect is switched off. The car rolled disengaged when the motor without the braking effect of the continued recuperation of course, if you have plus sailing on. This one is used once on the plus paddle shift paddles on the steering wheel.

Anyone who uses the technique completely is the standard consumption by an average of 4.2 liters per 100 km near. We moved from our first trip with the diesel-hybrid normal to fast and achieved it with a (more consuming wagon with large wheels) with a value of 5.9 liters per 100 km. Fuel consumption and consumption practices are 15 percent to 20 percent below the comparable consumption E-Class with hybrid drive free.

For this advantage, you pay an additional fee of slightly more than 3500 €. The extra cost would be recorded again after some 20 000 kilometers. In Germany, the sedan will cost 794.75 € according to list 51 and the T-Model 55 007, 75 €. About the cents you will be able to talk with the dealer.

Mercedes-Benz with this diesel hybrid is now the second hybrid drive in the program. The Mercedes-Benz S 400 will also bring the company in June this year in the market. The target groups for this hybrid S-Class, the Stuttgart see more in the U.S. and China. But they point out that they now have a kit, with its modules, they can upgrade many models of hybrid vehicles.
