- Ground-breaking Mercedes-Benz 見通し EQXX 概念 was driven from Riyadh to Dubai without 非難する
- Trek from Saudi Arabia to UAE took almost 15 hours and 始める,決める a new effici ency 記録,記録的な/記録する of 8.4 miles per kWh
- EQXX is a 概念 but is 存在 used as a '詳細な計画' for 未来 Mercedes EV models 予定 in showroom by 2030?
German car 巨大(な) Mercedes-Benz 始める,決める out to diffuse 関心s about electric 乗り物 範囲 苦悩 by taking its 最新の 概念 car on a 大規模な 選び出す/独身-告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 trek across the Arabian 砂漠.
The 見通し EQXX has been driven from?Riyadh to Dubai on a 選び出す/独身 殴打/砲列 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 earlier this month, covering a 大規模な 627.6 miles in almost 15 hours without having to stop.
The aerodynamic car 始める,決める a new efficiency 記録,記録的な/記録する by travelling 8.4 miles per kilowatt hour (kWh) and 完全にするd the trip in baking hot 条件s with 192 miles of 範囲 remaining.
While the EQXX is only a 原型 model for now, Mercedes bosses have 約束d that its tech will be filtered 負かす/撃墜する into its 生産/産物 EVs before the end of the 10年間.
One 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 wonder: The Mercedes EQXXX electric car 概念 has just 始める,決める a new EV efficiency 記録,記録的な/記録する by 達成するing 8.4 miles per kWh on a 1,000km-p lus 旅行 across the Arabian 砂漠?
This isn't the first long-distance voyage the ground-breaking EQXX has undertaken.
In fact, it's the third time it has covered more than 1,000 kilometres (621.4 miles) without stopping at a 非難する point.
It's part of the German marque's 広範囲にわたる 科学(工学)技術 programme to 論証する the 能力s of EVs using the 最新の 進歩s, which has seen the car cover 14,503 miles of 実験(する)ing in real-life 条件s so far.
On the 8 March, it 耐えるd what Mercedes calls a 'challenging 大勝する profile' that 含むd busy city streets and straight-line 爆破s across the open Arabian 砂漠 at an ambient 気温 of 34 degrees?Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit).
The EQXX is 推定する/予想するd to 成し遂げる 井戸/弁護士席 in these 条件s, given it has a roof made up of 117 solar 独房s.
The solar パネル盤s 力/強力にする many of the ancillaries to 減ずる the energy drain on the car's 殴打/砲列. And on the entire 運動, the system 収穫d 1.8 kWh of solar energy, 追加するing around 15 miles to the 範囲.?
The starting point for the efficiency 運動 on the Arabian 半島 was the Mercedes-Benz Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, leaving at 4:15am
Having crossed the 砂漠, it arrived at its 目的地 - the new Mercedes-Benz Brand Centre in Dubai, UAE - at 7:57pm the same day
The starting point for the efficiency 運動 on the Arabian 半島 was the Mercedes-Benz Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Ar abia, 出発/死ing at?4:15am.
The 目的地 was the recently opened Mercedes-Benz showroom in Dubai, UAE, some?1,010km (627.6 miles) away.
Arriving at 7:57pm the same day, the 旅行 time was 14 hours and 42 minutes in total.
However, that also 含むd the time at a 行き詰まり while waiting in traffic, driver 交換(する)s and 静止している period while at the 国境 having paperwork checked.?
The total time moving was 12 hours and 45 minutes, Mercedes said.
The 普通の/平均(する) 速度(を上げる) 達成するd on the 1,010km (627.6 miles) 旅行 was 42.7mph when 含むing static periods - or 49.3mph when running the 計算/見積り only for the time the car was moving
On arrival in Dubai, the EV 概念 still had a whopping 192 miles (309km) of 範囲 remaining.
A basic 計算/見積り tells you that there should therefore be the capacity for EQXX to travel almost 819 miles before the 殴打/砲列s run flat.
The 見通し EQXX's impressive mile-eating endeavours aren't 達成するd because of a 大規模な 殴打/砲列 pack.
In fact, it uses a 100kWh 殴打/砲列, which is smaller than the 部隊 fitted to some of Mercedes' most expensive 存在するing models, such as the £100,000 EQS.
However, the 概念 乗り物's 殴打/砲列 pack is 50 per cent smaller and 30 per cent はしけ than what is 現在/一般に on the market, which means it can be used in more compac t cars if necessary.
On the long stretches of 砂漠 主要道路, the 最高の,を越す 速度(を上げる) 達成するd was 87mph - any faster and the EQXX would have seen a 拒絶する/低下する in efficiency?
The ground-breaking EQXX might only be a 概念 乗り物 for now but Mercedes bosses have 約束d that its tech - and some of the learnings from its さまざまな long-distance escapades - will be fed into its 未来 生産/産物 models in showrooms
The 普通の/平均(する) 速度(を上げる) during its eco 使節団 to Dubai was 42.7mph when 含むing static periods - or 49.3mph when running the 計算/見積り only for the time the car was moving.
On the long stretches of 砂漠 主要道路, the 最高の,を越す 速度(を上げる) 達成するd was 87mph.?
The EV 完全にするd the run with an 普通の/平均(する) 消費 of?7.4 kWh per 100km, which 作品 out at 8.4 miles per kWh.?
To put that 人物/姿/数字 into 視野, the 普通の/平均(する) EV on sale in Britain's showrooms today 達成する between 2 and 5 miles per kWh.
ーに関して/ーの点でs of a 石油 car, it's the 同等(の) of 282 miles per gallon.
It 粉砕するd its own 記録,記録的な/記録する of 7.5 miles per kWh 達成するd in June 2022 when?the Mercedes EQXX was driven 747 miles from Stuttgart to Silverstone, which remains the longest electric car 旅行 完全にするd without recharging.
The longest distance the EQXX has travelled on a 選び出す/独身 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 so far is 747 miles. This was 達成するd in June 2022 on a 旅行 from Stuttgart, Germany to the Silverstone racing 回路・連盟 in Northamptonshire (pictured)
The inside of EQXX has a 巨大(な) 47.5-in ch touchscreen that (期間が)わたるs across the entire dashboard and is AI-力/強力にするd to 供給する drivers with the best directions and suggestions while 巡航するing 負かす/撃墜する the road
The 見通し EQXX is a proper family car, with the 概念 featuring a four-seat layout with two individual 議長,司会を務めるs in the 支援する
'With an exceptional 消費 of just 7.4 kWh/100km, the 見通し EQXX continues to 供給する 価値のある data for 現在進行中の 開発 of 前進するd electric efficiency 科学(工学)技術s,' said Markus Sch?fer, 長,指導者 科学(工学)技術 officer at Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
'As 推定する/予想するd, all systems 成し遂げるd perfectly in the 砂漠 条件s, 扱うing challenges such as road surface finish and 気温 同様に as dust with 緩和する.?
'[It's] その上の proof that electric 運動 is ready for 全世界の markets.'
Toyota, the world's second biggest car 製造者, has already 予報するd that by 2026 the longest-範囲 new electric cars on sale will be 有能な over cover 500-mile distances on a 選び出す/独身 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金.
By 2027/28, その上の 改良s to 殴打/砲列 tech and new aerodynamic 進歩s should see 範囲s rise to 600 miles and from 2028 - along with the 推定する/予想するd introduction of solid-明言する/公表する 殴打/砲列s - 製造者s should be able to 押し進める closer to 1,000-mile 範囲s from a 選び出す/独身 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金, the Japanese 会社/堅い says.
?Toyota's 科学(工学)技術 roadmap shows how it will ramp-up EV 範囲s with its next-世代 殴打/砲列s, which could see 生産/産物 models 達成するing 1,000km distances on a 選び出す/独身 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 by the end of 2028
Is this long-distance 科学(工学)技術 coming to electric cars we can buy??
Mercedes says the 目的 of EQXX's third road trip was to 'maximise efficiency in all areas and 診察する system 業績/成果 under extreme 砂漠 条件s'.?
It 追加するd: 'Of particular 利益/興味 in the 乾燥した,日照りの 砂漠 heat of up to 34 degrees Celsius was the car’s 前進するd thermal 管理/経営.'
This thermal 管理/経営 system is made up of さまざまな 冷静な/正味のing 弁s, pumps and aero-shutters. The 目的(とする) is to keep the powertrain 冷静な/正味の, even in blistering 気温s that would typically challenge the efficiency of 殴打/砲列s and see an EV's 範囲 減少(する).?
'The intelligent on-需要・要求する system kept the electric drivetrain and the cabin 冷静な/正味の. The 空気/公表する 条件ing system was 操作の during the trip with 極小の 消極的な 衝撃 on energy efficiency thanks in part to the multi-source heat pump,' the company said.
The heat pump developed for the EQXX is also used in Mercedes' new 概念 CLA Class 明かすd last year.
This 'の近くに-to-生産/産物' saloon car is a preview of the brand's next-世代 EV architecture that will underpin its new wave of 殴打/砲列-力/強力にするd cars.
This isn't the first long-distance voyage the ground-breaking EQXX has undertaken. In fact, it's the third where it has covered over 1,000 kilometres (621.4 miles) on a 選び出す/独身 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金. It's part of the German marque's 科学(工学)技術 programme to 論証する the 能力s of EVs using the 最新の 進歩s which has seen the car cover 14,503 miles of 実験(する)ing
Mercedes previews its next electric family car: The 概念 CLA Class is a 近づく-生産/産物 原型 for the 2024 CLA saloon. But, more importantly, it debuted a new 壇・綱領・公約 that will 運動 the German brand's 転換 to electrification
And more tech from the landscape-spanning EQXX 概念 should be fed into 未来 Mercedes cars.?
Talking to 献身的な EV website Move Electric in 2022, a 広報担当者 from the car 製造業者 (人命などを)奪う,主張するd EQXX will be a '詳細な計画' for モーターs its 顧客s will be able to buy in showrooms before the end of the 10年間.
“Our EQXX is a 研究 乗り物 designed to 押し進める 境界s and 調査する 選択s for 未来 生産/産物 乗り物s. It is a 詳細な計画 for series 生産/産物. Many 革新s from this 科学(工学)技術 programme will soon find their way into our 生産/産物 乗り物s," they told Move Electric.
'同様に as 明確な/細部 構成要素s and 科学(工学)技術s, this 含むs the 高度に agile, multi-disciplinary 開発 approach 同様に as the ソフトウェア and 数字表示式の 道具s used during the 開発 過程.'
