Mercedes-Benz USA Delivers First Customer Zero-Emission F-CELL Vehicle

The emergency braking is interrupted as soon as the control element is no longer kept depressed. Having a rear-wheel drive format the Sprinter was a pleasure to drive on the rough stuff, the ABS and traction control making a good fist of keeping things tidy. The Sprinter is rear-wheel drive (2WD) by nature, with 4-wheel drive optional The 4-cylinder diesel is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, while the V6 is rated to pull up to 7,500 pounds in the Sprinter 3500 Heavy Duty. Powered by an electric motor with 134 horsepower and 215 lb-ft of torque, the new B-Class F-CELL provides driving performance comparable to a similar conventional car while using about half the fuel. Moreover, the system always responds predictably and in the same way at each steering angle, while other variable steering systems sometimes require rapid adaptation by the driver in rapidly changing situations. The V6 engine for the SL 350 has the same displacement as its predecessor - 3499 cubic centimetres - from which it now achieves 225 kW (306 hp).


It is content with 6.8 litres over 100 kilometres, making it almost 30 percent more economical than its predecessor (9.7 l/100 km). Lower consumption: as output is only called up when the driver is actually steering, the consumption falls by up to 0.3 l/100 km compared with the hydraulic Direct-Steer system. Whilst this means that its output is 7 kW less than the engine in its predecessor (232 kW/315 hp), as the torque simultaneously climbs from 360 Nm to the current figure of 370 Nm, there is no perceptible loss of power - on the contrary, in fact: when accelerating, the new SL 350 even proves superior. In order to be able to provide the required output from the braking system, the heat arising at the brakes must be removed as quickly as possible. The advantage of this solution over complex mechanical components such as an active steering rear axle, additional multi-disc clutches or an active differential is that the Torque Vectoring Brakes can be implemented without an increase in vehicle weight and therefore no disadvantages in terms of fuel consumption. The SL 500 is shod as standard with 18-inch wheels with mixed-size tyres (8.5 J x 18 ET 35.5 with 255/40 R 18 tyres at the front, and 9.5 J x 18 ET 47.5 wheels with 285/35 R 18 tyres at the rear).


5.5 seconds for the SL 350 and 3.2 seconds for the SL 500 make the new SL’s excellent characteristics in this discipline plain for all to behold. It can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and max out at 200 km/h. Under normal circumstances, irrespective of the duration of operating, the electric parking brake only closes the responsible combined floating brake calliper at the rear axle fully and for a sustained period when the vehicle is at a standstill or at speeds below 4 km/h. The system achieves this with targeted, one-sided braking intervention by the Electronic Stability Program ESP at the inside rear wheel when cornering. Due to the different engine weights, the characteristic maps for six-cylinder and eight-cylinder models are proof positive of the engineering artistry that lies behind the system. Due to its compact size, we’ll just call it a GLA clone. The electric motor, drive unit, control unit and sensor system are integrated in a compact unit. This is taken care of by an electric motor - positioned axially parallel to the toothed rack - which transfers its power to the ball screw as a rotary movement via a toothed belt. The current hybrids available from Toyota, Ford, Chevy, GMC, Honda and others are designated HEV vehicles, which stands for "Hybrid Electric Vehicle." This technology employs an internal combustion engine and an electric drive train.


The local distributor brought in a monstrous 1UR-FE 4,608cc V8 gasoline which pumps out 322hp at 6,400rpm and 440Nm at 4,000rpm. It is one sleeper, the V8 is rev happy and encourages you to drive harder. B-Class is a front-wheel drive car with a sandwich floor construction and a parabolic rear suspension. The actual 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is right away famous as a Sprinter, although it features a reshaped grille, fenders in addition to lamps, together with new rear window. Unlikely, since the OM651, as it is lovingly known by the techies at Mercedes-Benz Vito has already been seen in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and in many of the companys passenger cars. Mercedes-Benz of Atlantic City is the newest member of the Park Avenue Motor Cars family. It is always a dream of people around the world to own imported cars like BMW and Mercedes-Benz models, because they are among the best in the business.
