Mercedes-Benz presents the Imaginative and prescient One-Eleven, a brand new all-electric sports activities automobile examine. The technical highlights embrace a brand new battery idea with high-performance liquid-cooled spherical cells primarily based on a brand new cell chemistry, in addition to two axial-flow electrical motors.
As is commonly the case with idea shows, no concrete technical knowledge has been talked about. The main target of Imaginative and prescient One-Eleven is somewhat on optical and connectivity visions. The mannequin is meant to memorialise Mercedes’ legendary C 111 experimental autos from the Sixties and Nineteen Seventies. The extraordinarily dynamic mid-engine sports activities automobiles have been “used to check revolutionary Wankel and turbo diesel engines on the time”, says the German carmaker explaining that these components are “a part of our DNA”.
The 2 axial-flow electrical motors used within the electrical examine are a improvement of the English electrical motor specialist Yasa, which Mercedes-Benz acquired in 2021. Mercedes-Benz is growing the expertise with Yasa for its next-generation electrical drives to manufacturing readiness on a big scale. The long run era of axial movement motors from Yasa will likely be produced on the Mercedes-Benz web site in Berlin-Marienfelde and can kind the core of the upcoming electrical drive trains within the efficiency phase.
The sort of motor “affords motorsport-like efficiency from a considerably smaller bundle”, Mercedes writes of the Imaginative and prescient One-Eleven. Together with the liquid-cooled cylinder cell battery “with System One-inspired cell chemistry” (about which no additional particulars can be found, editor’s be aware), the Imaginative and prescient One-Eleven is “proof of the broad efficiency spectrum of our four-track improvement technique for electrical drive”, says the carmaker.
