2025 Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force Concept

For the Los Angeles Design Challenge 2012 Mercedes has developed the concept car Ener-G-Force, and shows how the G-Class the future could. Called 2025 Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force Concept.

The Los Angeles Design Challenge 2012 looks far forward and studied the "Highway Patrol Vehicle 2025", with which the law enforcers make future chasing criminals.

Mercedes has answered this question with the Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force, which will also show the same look like a G-Class in 2025 could. Designed for the police operation Ener-G-Force skillfully combines a futuristic design with a beefy appearance.

During this, the genes of the G-Class built in 1979 not on the track, and the Ener-G-Force should be able to score points with excellent off-road capability.

The Ener-G-Force takes on recycled water in tanks on the roof and passes it to the "Hydro-Tech Converter" section. It converts this natural, renewable resource into hydrogen for use in fuel cell. The storage units for the electrical energy obtained are easily accessible in the striking side skirts.

The Mercedes Ener-G-Force emits only water, has a range of around 800 kilometers, making it a true green car. Four wheel hub motors provide propulsion force whose power a high-performance electronics and for each wheel individually sensitive to the respective terrain adapts.

This round of topographic scanner "Terra-scan" on the roof constantly detects the environment of the vehicle and then adjusts suspension, shock absorbers and other suspension parameters for the best traction on the substrate in question, regardless of whether terrain or road.

The distinctively shaped skirts contain the energy-storage units and hot-swappable battery packs. The lighting of the side shows simultaneously through color changes to the operating and the state of charge of the energy packs. Integrated into the roof is a roof rack and extra lights.

The question remains whether the Mercedes engineers perhaps a science fiction movie looked too much, or whether the technology will continue to develop so rapidly in fact until 2025. On the "Hoverboard", which was 13 years ago to see "Back to the Future II", as you have traveled to the year 2012, the author of these lines are still waiting in vain.

2013 Mercedes-Benz A Class

The third-generation A-Class in September 2012 in the trade.

The compact premium segment worldwide is becoming increasingly important with the new 2013 Mercedes A-class would like to get involved properly in this segment from autumn 2012 and presents a completely new A-Class.

The engineers had the opportunity to work with a blank sheet of paper in the planning of the 3rd Going generation A-Class. This should be the new A-class in any case be very different than the predecessors to appeal to a wider audience.

The second generation Mercedes could reach rather more staid term especially with the new A-Class you would like to make Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and the new Volvo V40 alienate customers.

Mercedes says that it is serious about his challenge, you can see at first glance. A fully styled by A-class Mercedes for going with unusual athleticism to the starting line was born.

To continue to provide for any potential buyer a suitable A-class model, we have also created various equipment lines. With the lines of "Urban", "style" and "AMG Sport" and the three design packages ("Night", "exclusive" and "exclusive AMG", the new A-Class can have from the start, make very individual.

In addition, numerous options are available, the cars are so far only been available gehobenerer classes, such as an adaptive cruise control, PreSafe, the Intelligent Light System or electrically adjustable leather seats with memory.

Comprehensive safety features round out the positive first impression for the new A-Class continues to decrease. As standard, the Collision Prevention and Attention Assist Assist provide more security. The Collision Prevention Assist warns the driver may be distracted from obstacles and prepares the brake system even for emergency braking.

This can score the new 2013 A-Class not only looks at the young, strong purchasing power target group, is to sell it a full iPhone integration, where you hear his music from the phone in the car, facebook news, the phone on the vehicle display can use. A version for Android is already in the pipeline, but will still have something coming.

To start, there will be 1.6 to 2.0 liter gasoline engine with an output between 122 hp (90 kW) and 211 hp (155 kW) and 1.5 liters to 1.8 liters of diesel engines with an output of 109 hp (80 kW ) provide up to 136 hp (100 kW). The 170-hp diesel will follow at the end of the year.

All engines have the BlueEFFICIENCY technology and are extremely economical way. The best value achieved while the base diesel with 109 hp, which is to come to a consumption of just 3.8 liters. The CO2 emissions in this case is only 98 g / km.

On request for the new A-Class instead of the 6-speed manual gearbox, the new 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox, which is equipped with the software from the SLS AMG, and so provides lightning fast gear changes. In a first exit we could have the A 220 CDI with its 170-horsepower diesels and the top model in the preliminary series, the A250, get to know.

As sporty looks, the new A-class outside so athletic, it also goes further in the interior. The test vehicles are AMG sports seats, sports trim with comfortable including integrated headrests, a generous use of carbon-look trim components and soft-touch surfaces.

Which now provides built-in automatic selector lever on the steering column for the double-clutch gearbox in place of the center console, which will find a very comfortable center armrest and two cupholders and a large locker room.

Despite the sporty body design, there is enough room inside for passengers. Also, the trunk volume is 341 liters with dimensions remarkably abundant.

For frequent travelers, the new A 220 CDI presents an ideal companion, who can convince a lot of power from low engine speeds and the 7G-DCT gearbox. The sporty design of suspension and chassis should be chosen only by real sports fanatics, comfort-oriented buyers will have at the very sporty design no joy.

In addition, this chassis fits clearly better for the A250, the strongest start to the A-Class model. With an output of 211 hp, the A250 convince even die-hard sports fans. The sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.6 seconds and top speed is 240 km / h

On a handling course at the airport in Portoroz we were able to convince us of the excellent chassis. The A250 sports a front-wheel drive vehicle allows for breathtaking cornering speeds and remains even in extreme cases, even well predictable and controllable.
The maximum torque of 350 Nm is already available at 1,200 r / min and maintained up to 4000 rev / min.

But the new A-Class is only at the beginning of a true model initiative of the smallest Mercedes model. As early as the beginning of 2013 will come with the A45 AMG A-Class, the sportiest of all time on the market, which will also feature four-wheel drive. A little later, then follow other forms of bodywork based on the new 2013 Mercedes A-Class.

The active safety of the series will be raised for model year 2013 by the CPA, including standard collision warning adaptive brake assist again. The TFT display in the cockpit between the two circular instruments now has an almost photo-realistic presentation is and how the Comand screen display modernized the concept in a silver gray color design.

Intelligent lightweight construction also means optimized components for the particular purpose: Thus, for example on different types of aluminum-processing applications. The components are manufactured in gravity die casting (metal, re-usable mold) or vacuum-pressure cast, processed, or used as extrusions aluminum sheets with different thicknesses. The result is a high stiffness, high security and a better vibration characteristics. For the cover behind the tank, the designers sometimes use the even lighter magnesium. In the A-pillars are integrated privacy reasons high-strength steel pipes.
