captionMercedes-Benz claim to have invented an electric car with a range of more than 600 miles - or 1,000 kilometres. The new Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX concept is claimed to set new energy efficiency benchmarks to get a “real-world range of more than 620 miles” – 167 more than its nearest competitor. The compact saloon is the latest from the company’s concept electric car programme aimed at hatching new ideas. Bosses at the firm hope it can change the future of electric cars - as up till now range on long journeys has been a major obstacle to mass adoption. “The Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX is how we imagine the future of electric cars. Just one-and-a-half years ago, we started this project leading to the most efficient Mercedes-Benz ever built – with an outstanding energy consumption of less than 10 kWh per 100 kilometres,” says Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG. “It has a range of more than 1,000 kilometres2 on a single charge using a battery that would fit even into a compact vehicle. The VISION EQXX is an advanced car in so many dimensions – and it even looks stunning and futuristic. With that, it underlines where our entire company is headed: We will build the world’s most desirable electric cars.” Mercedes-Benz has built a software-driven electric car that re-imagines the road trip for the electric era. Rather than simply increasing the size of the battery, the cross-functional, international team focused on maximising long-distance efficiency. They pulled out all the stops in drivetrain efficiency, energy density, aerodynamics and lightweight design. “The technology programme behind the VISION EQXX will define and enable future Mercedes-Benz models and features,” says Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG, Chief Technology Officer responsible for Development and Procurement. “As a halo car, the VISION EQXX firmly establishes Mercedes-Benz as the brand that pairs luxury with technology in the automotive world and beyond. And the way we developed it is as revolutionary as the vehicle itself. VISION EQXX has seen the best minds from our R&D centres work together with engineers from our Formula 1 and Formula E programmes. They are proving that innovations from motorsport – where powertrains are already highly electrified – have immediate relevance for road car development. We are challenging current development processes with innovative spirit and outside-the-box thinking. This truly is the way forward.” The car has a radical new electric drive system, that achieves benchmark efficiency of 95% from battery to wheels. Meaning it can go 1,000 km (over 620 miles)4 on a single charge on public roads puts an end to range anxiety. It can do this because exterior designers and aerodynamicists delivered a #benchmark drag coefficient of cd 0.175. Its designers also built the car out of recycled and plant-based materials remove waste from landfills and lower its carbon footprint. The car Inspired by natural forms and in partnership with innovative start-ups, engineers used advanced digital tools to lower weight and reduce waste by removing excess material assisted by 3D printing Ultra-low-rolling-resistance tyres also offer optimised aerodynamic geometry combined with lightweight magnesium wheels for an increased range. Meanwhile, lightweight brake discs made from aluminium alloy are a great fit for the VISION EQXX and help keep weight down A lightweight F1 subframe also brings racing efficiency to the road, while solar panels on the ulltra-thin roof feed the battery system for up to 25 km of extra range.
