The Stuttgart-based luxury car manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz, has teased its latest forthcoming all-electric prototype, the Vision EQXX.
Mercedes-Benz has been developing a new all-electric prototype that’s expected to showcase next-generation Electric Vehicle (EV) technology. The image above is the latest teaser which gives us some idea of what the Vision EQXX will look like.
When the Vision EQXX was announced last year, Markus Schafer, Merc’s research and development boss said, “We have set up a group of our engineers to take on an extraordinary task: to build the longest-range and highest-efficiency electric car the world has ever seen. This is a serious project, chasing next-generation technologies. We intend to incorporate the learning into the next generation of series production cars.”
The Vision EQXX has been developed with the help of AMG High-Performance Powertrains based in the UK with extensive expertise in Formula One and electric powertrains.
The Vision EQXX is expected to boast exemplary efficiency and notable electric range capability of over 1 000km on a single charge and Merc is targeting a single-digit figure for Kwh per 100 km (over 6 miles per kWh) at normal highway speeds.
The Vision EQXX will be officially revealed in 2022.
Mercedes-Benz is due to introduce a host of new EV products in South Africa in 2022 including the EQA, EQB, EQC and EQS.
