The fifth generation of the hybrid system is characterized by lighter and more compact components that contribute to higher efficiency and performance of the drive system while maintaining the brand's high reliability. It also features a new power control unit that reduces electrical losses by 14% in the 1.8-liter version and 6% in the 2.0-liter version. The unit operates more quietly than before. In the AWD-i model, it includes the rear power control unit, leading to further space and weight savings. The power control unit is directly integrated above a new transaxle gearbox that is 15% lighter than before due to the use of new materials and features new compact high-power motors. The use of low-viscosity oil also helps reduce internal friction and increase overall efficiency.

Mercedes-Benz Battery Plant Bibb County

17 March 2022 241 Views

Production of the high-performance lithium-ion batteries for the EQS SUV and EQE SUV is CO2-neutral. High-performance lithium-ion batteries are assembled into a complete system on a production line around 300 meters long with more than 70 work stations. Using a fully digitalized production process, a variety of components are combined, including up to twelve cell modules and the so-called EE compartment, for the intelligent integration of the power electronics. Up to 600 new jobs will be created in Bibb County. The battery system, which will be fitted to the 7-seater EQS SUV, employs a modular design already seen in the EQS and EQE and uses highly advanced cell chemistry containing nickel, cobalt and manganese in a ratio of 8:1:1. The reduction of cobalt content to around ten percent, in addition to the CO2-neutral production of the batteries, enhances sustainability. With the new plant, Bibb County becomes part of the Mercedes-Benz global battery production network which stretches factories on three continents including in Kamenz, Germany, Beijing China, Bangkok Thailand, Jawor Poland and Stuttgart, Germany. The individual factories supply local vehicle production and, if necessary, are ready for export. Mercedes-Benz is investing more than one billion Euros in the development of the global battery production network.
