Mercedes is working on an ambitious and important project related to electric mobility. It is the new Mercedes Vision EQXX, an electric vehicle that will have a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. It will be unveiled in 2022 and this technology will be transferred to production vehicles.
Mercedes has presented its updated electrification plan in society. A roadmap that puts the spotlight on the end of this decade with several previous stops to make the iconic signature of the star the great global benchmark for premium electric mobility. The arrival of new models, platforms, improved batteries has been confirmed and, in addition, it has been pointed out that a very interesting project is being worked on. The new Mercedes Vision EQXX.
Right now Mercedes works on the development of the new Vision EQXX, a 100% electric conceptual model that will burst onto the scene with a very clear objective. Show the world that it is possible to have a wide autonomy without resorting to gigantic batteries. The established objective is neither more nor less than to overcome the 1,000 kilometer barrier.
The new Mercedes Vision EQXX will be presented in 2022
Although not many details have been given in this regard and the vehicle has been covered at all times, the truth is that Mercedes has confirmed some figures that allow us to get a fairly clear idea of ”what is cooking” the German manufacturer. The Vision EQXX will have a real autonomy of more than 1,000 kilometers on a single charge.
To achieve the aforementioned autonomy, instead of opting for a battery of biblical proportions, Mercedes is working on improving energy efficiency coupled with an exterior design whose aerodynamics will also favor low consumption. At normal driving speeds the Vision EQXX will be able to do more than 10 kilometers per kWh. If the size of the battery is around 100 kWh, it will be in a position to reach the mentioned objective.
The task force includes experts from Mercedes’ Formula 1 high-performance powertrain division. The great debut of this concept car will take place sometime in the next year 2022.
Technological advancements made throughout the development of the Vision EQXX will be adapted and applied for potential use in new electrical architectures. Specifically, in road production vehicles.
