CES 2022: Mercedes aims to break the 1,000-kilometer mark with EQXX
With the VISION EQXX, Mercedes-Benz has introduced a research vehicle at CES that is expected to achieve a range of over 1,000 kilometers thanks to extreme efficiency. According to internal digital simulations, it is expected that the technology carrier will travel over 1,000 kilometers on a single battery charge in real-world traffic, promise the Swabians. This would enable the 1,750-kilo vehicle with its 150-kW electric drive to reach a new level in terms of range.
In addition to increasing efficiency, resource conservation and optimal environmental compatibility were equally important development goals. Therefore, a holistic approach was chosen, starting with the improvement of all components of the electric drivetrain and the use of lightweight materials and sustainable materials. Further efficiency measures include extremely low rolling resistance tires, sophisticated aerodynamics (cW 0.17), and the use of state-of-the-art software.
"The VISION EQXX shows how we envision the future of the electric car. In just a year and a half, we have developed the most efficient Mercedes of all time – with an energy consumption of less than 10 kWh per 100 kilometers. The EQXX has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers on a single charge – powered by a battery that would fit into a compact car," enthuses Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG.
The manufacturer claims new records for aerodynamics and weight reduction and focuses on a software-based vehicle concept. Instead of simply enlarging the battery, the interdisciplinary international development team concentrated on maximizing long-distance efficiency.
“The technology program behind the VISION EQXX will redefine and enable future models and vehicle functions from Mercedes-Benz,” says Markus Schäfer, member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG, Chief Technology Officer responsible for Development and Procurement.
Furthermore, the CO2 footprint will be significantly reduced through the use of sustainable materials. The UI/UX features a completely new, one-piece display that spans the entire width of the interior. User interface elements support seamless interaction between driver and vehicle, including through Artificial Intelligence (AI) that mimics the functioning of the human brain.
Technical details at a glance:
- Energy efficiency: Efficiency-enhancing measures lead to an outstandingly low consumption of less than 10 kWh per 100 km (equivalent to more than six miles per kWh).
- Electric drive: The radically new drive concept developed by Mercedes-Benz achieves a benchmark efficiency of 95 percent from the battery to the wheels.
- Range: More than 1,000 km (over 620 miles) with a single battery charge on public roads enable relaxed long-distance journeys.
- Battery density: Expertise from Formula 1 helped the battery experts to compress the energy storage of the EQXX into an extremely compact format. The research vehicle's battery pack stores nearly 100 kWh of energy with 50 percent less volume and 30 percent less weight than the world's best battery pack in this regard, the EQS.
- Aerodynamics: Outstanding work in the areas of aerodynamics and exterior design enables a benchmark drag coefficient of 0.17.
- Sustainability: Innovative recycled and plant-based materials prevent landfill waste and reduce the CO2 footprint.
