Mercedes-Benz


2009 Detroit Auto Show Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO E-Cell Plus
Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO E-Cell Plus

The creator of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz is set to unveil not one, but three new electric drive concept vehicles in Detroit. The BlueZERO E-CELL is said to be powered entirely by lithium ion batteries. This vehicle is expected to have a range of 124 miles prior to recharge.


Of most interest is the BlueZERO E-Cell Plus as it adds the Smart ForTwo turbocharged 3-cylinder engine to increase range and power. With a full tank of gasoline and full charge, Mercedes-Benz claims a cruising range of 373 miles. The equally unique BlueZERO F-Cell is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle capturing additional energy with regenerative braking. Total driving distance for this concept is expected to be 240 miles.
