Mercedes-Benz B Class E-Cell Plus developed by Tesla’s?

Mercedes-Benz B Class E-Cell Plus
Mercedes B Class : Electric-powered sight Tesla. This model was introduced as a concept car at the last Frankfurt Motor Show; the Mercedes E-Class B Plus came to be an improved version of extended-range future of the compact van by the German, possibly with a turbo generator three-cylinder engine and an electric motor Volt style. However, the latest leaks tell us that the final version could be put on a mechanical battery powered only. We leave some model inputs, and how these changes affect you. For now, know this change in the German scheme, but it sure will surprise us with some progress in the electric paradigm. The Tesla engine, more power than ever ...

Mercedes-Benz presented an electric concept car based on the new B Class It was an extended-range electric car, but was rather a plug-in hybrid car, or a mixture halfway between the two, named Class B E-Cell Plus. But now this may change a little...

Features 'concept mixed'
Mercedes-Benz plans to commercialize it by 2014. The concept had two engines, the main electric motor and an engine, three-cylinder turbo petrol and 1.0 liter 68 hp, but the latter could disappear, rather, not to be made...

Stood as a compact MPV of 4.36 m long, 1.79 m wide and 1.56 m high. The B-Class E-Cell Plus can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 150 km / h. The gearbox would be a 7G-DCT seven-speed automatic with double clutch and front wheel drive.

CO ₂ emissions in a combined way, were of only 32 g / km, which would equate to a fuel consumption of about 1.4 l/100 km. An Opel Ampera extended-range electric car 150 hp has a consumption of 1.6 l/100 km, while a Toyota Prius Plug-in appears to be at 2.1 l/100 km.

Electric mode or in combination, these features .
The electronic engine management automatically chooses the most efficient way to circulate, taking into account the level of battery power. This system also controls the start-stop engine at stops.

Thus, there are two operating modes: pure electric mode and mixed mode with two sub modes depending on the speed: They operate in series or in parallel, but the latest leaks, -- the second option.

Finally, is only an electric motor?
Thus, if the rumors are true, the E-Cell Plus forget your gasoline generator, and will be replaced by a new propulsion system developed by Tesla Motors, Daimler, one of the main electrical system development .

According to some German publications, the reason would be for zero-emission vehicles receive greater incentives than conventional hybrids or extended range, which in theory should facilitate its acceptance, both for manufacturing as a model for sales period.

In 2014 we will clear all doubts ... What seems certain is that this news is confirmed, it will be difficult for the new E-Cell 100% electric can reach 600 km of autonomy promised the concept version. Quite a challenge for the engineers of the Germanic mark, more than 800 km of autonomy of the battery IBM
