Mercedez-Benz

Mercedes-Benz want to create as closely as possible riding comfort, along with dynamic consolidation of security and economic consumption and the level of emissions in a safe environment. The focus is combining petrol and diesel engine and hybrid system with the cleaning gas discharge of ultra-modern.

Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Board of Management of DaimlerChrysler AG responsible for research and technology development group and introduce two Mercedes Direct Hybrid concept car and BlueTec Hybrid inaugural exhibition at the International Motor Show (IAA) 2005 in Frankfurt, Germany.

By using the latest series S-Class as an example, Mercedes exhibit unique creation to brake emissions and increase fuel consumption that striking in the future, but also to protect the comfort berkendaran that have a high dynamic.

"For the concept in the future the aim is to make cars that use fuel as efficiently as using diesel, and cars that use diesel fuel as efficiently as using," added Dr. Thomas Weber.

For a car engine that uses gasoline, which is emphasized in reducing fuel consumption. With second-generation, fuel system needle spray-guided direct, engine on Mercedes-Benz can achieve a vital innovation that could help save fuel. Currently used on the 3.5 liter V6 engine, this technology has been implemented on the latest series S-Class. This vehicle combines electric motors with a power play that high (high-torque) as a hybrid DIRECT.

Since starting introduced a special filter device as standard, the task of diesel engines is the limit of a very strict disposal once applied all over the world on nitrogen oxides emissions, in addition to the saving of fuel. Nitrogen oxides at this time be the only component of the gas still be thrown in a number of relatively large by comparison with the diesel engine gasoline engine.

Goal to achieve low level emissions have been implemented and started with the concept car based on the Hybrid BLUETEC diesel engine 3-liter V6 in the latest series S-Class than the electric motor combine high turn-out.

BLUETEC become the core element of the success of this system, as the discharge of gas purification technology that can reduce nitrogen oxides by about 80 percent of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). BLUETEC technology makes this hybrid into a clean diesel engine in the world.

Both systems in the concept car introduced at the Frankfurt motor eletrik as a combination of engine in, which is then called mild hybrids (hybrid light). This allows a decrease in fuel consumption significantly from the propellant engine optimized, especially in the area stop-and-go traffic or an area that often requires us to stop, especially in the way of compact vehicles.

Engine burner can be turned off when we do not need them anymore. However, the combination of engine and burner electric motor equipped with a lap could be moved higher in the same time to ensure the full strength and with the smooth when running.

Moreover, the electric motor akan restore energy when the car go slowly and brake. This combination of features allows the 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption in BLUETEC Hybrid compared to the preceding model, or about 25 per cent reduction in the "DIRECT Hybrid."

Two systems is not only to give a dynamic performance, but also parsimonious fuel emission standards than the world that is known is very strict about the impact of pollution generated per vehicle.

The system's vision of S320 BLUETEC Hybrid combines KW/243 output of 179 hp and 575 Nm of combined rotation (torque). Cars can dipercepat way from zero to 100 km / hour in 7.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 250 km / hour.

This car is very sparing use of fuel, fuel mengkomsumsi only about 7.7 liters of fuel per 100 km. The same value for the car model Mercedes-Benz S 350 DIRECT Hybrid is 221kw/300 hp, 395 Nm, 7.5 seconds, 250 km / hour and 8.3 liters per 100 km.
