Hybridsystem für die M-Klasse von Mercedes-Benz

Der ML 450 Hybrid ist das erste Vollhybridfahrzeug von Mercedes-Benz und vereint erhebliche Verbrauchs- und Emissionsreduzierungen mit souveranem Fahrverhalten. Das erstmalig eingesetzte „AHS-C Two-Mode-Hybrid system“ zeichnet sich vor allem durch eine hohe Effizienz sowohl im innerstadtischen „Stop-and-go“-Verkehr als auch bei zugiger Uberlandfahrt mit steigenden Motorlasten und hoheren Geschwindigkeitsbereichen aus. Der ML 450 Hybrid ist somit ein Kernelement auf dem Weg zur nachhaltigen Mobilitat von Mercedes-Benz.

Hybrid System by Mercedes-Benz for the M-Class

The ML 450 Hybrid is the first Mercedes-Benz full hybrid vehicle, promising significant fuel consumption and emission reductions ” great efficiency both in inner city “stop and go” traffic and on fast long-distance journeys at increasing engine loads and higher speed ranges. The ML 450 Hybrid is, therefore, a central element of the Mercedes-Benz strategy for achieving sustainable mobility.

PLUG-IN Hybrid from Mercedes-Benz – The next generation PLUG-IN Hybrid with 4-cylinder gasoline engine

The modularly structured hybrid system from Mercedes-Benz has been available in combination with gasoline and diesel engines since 2012. Previous experiences in the hybrid series production development have shown that although batteries of higher capacity enhance the electric driving experience, there are no further benefits in terms of efficiency and package. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz made a decision on the combination of increased electrical capacity with the option of external recharging. To this end, the S500 plug-in hybrid was initially launched in 2014. For the first time a variant with 4-cylinder gasoline engine has subsequently emanated from the modular hybrid system. In combination with an electrical range of 31 km, this downsizing allows previously unknown certification of 48 g CO2/km in this class. Furthermore, agility values on the 6-cylinder level could be implemented with very direct driving characteristics due to the increased capacity of the battery, the selected powertrain topology and the direct response of the electrical machine.
