Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX Triumphs in Real-World Drive

December 21, 2023
The Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX has showcased its unrivaled efficiency in real-world driving, setting a new standard for electric vehicles. This groundbreaking achievement was validated through a rigorous long-distance drive, surpassing 1,000 kilometers on a single battery charge with a remarkable energy consumption of only 8.7 kWh/100 km in actual traffic conditions. The efficiency of the VISION EQXX is a testament to Mercedes-Benz's commitment to leading in electric mobility.
 
Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Ola Källenius, expressed the significance of this accomplishment, stating, “We did it! Powering through more than 1,000 kilometers with ease on a single battery charge and a consumption of only 8.7 kWh/100 km in real-world traffic conditions. The VISION EQXX is the most efficient Mercedes ever built.”
 
This remarkable efficiency is not just a technological feat but a result of a comprehensive development approach that considers efficiency from the drivetrain to aerodynamics and beyond. The VISION EQXX embodies a new blueprint for automotive engineering, setting a benchmark for electric vehicle efficiency and range. The innovative technologies showcased in the VISION EQXX will be integrated into upcoming series-production Mercedes vehicles.
 
The road trip of the VISION EQXX, from Germany to Switzerland, Italy, and finally reaching Cassis near Marseille in the South of France, covered diverse terrains and weather conditions. The vehicle's performance in varying scenarios demonstrated its capability to handle challenges, from motorways to mountain passes, showcasing its adaptability to real-world driving conditions.
 
Key to the VISION EQXX's efficiency is its aerodynamic design, featuring a low drag coefficient of 0.17 and various measures that enhance airflow. The active rear diffuser, specialized tires with low rolling resistance, and a carefully thought-through lightweight construction contribute to its impressive performance.
 
On uphill climbs, the lightweight design of the VISION EQXX proved advantageous, with a weight of only 1,755 kilograms contributing to its efficiency. The use of innovative materials, such as a sustainable carbon-fibre-sugar composite for the upper part of the battery, played crucial role in achieving favorable power to weight ratio.
 
The electric drivetrain, developed in collaboration with the experts from Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, exhibited outstanding efficiency, with peak output of 180 kW and average efficiency of 95%. The reduction of total losses in the drivetrain by 44% compared to conventional e-drives further emphasized the VISION EQXX efficiency.
 
The journey also highlighted the vehicle ability to recover energy through recuperation, demonstrating the effectiveness of electric braking and the integration of solar roof, providing additional energy boost. The VISION EQXX's innovative features, including an efficient thermal management system and efficiency assistant, actively contribute to energy savings.
 
The VISION EQXX's road trip concluded in Cassis with around 140 kilometers of remaining range, showcasing its remarkable efficiency and real-world potential. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the development of electric vehicles, reaffirming Mercedes-Benz's commitment to pioneering advancements in electric mobility.
