奔驰在日内瓦车展发布了采用柴油引擎和9G-Tronic混动变速器组合的C级和E级柴油插电混动车。该插电混动系统搭配奔驰的OM654系列直列四缸柴油引擎，而车辆搭载的电机由13.5千瓦时电池组供电，在纯电动模式下的续航里程为31英里（约合50公里）。该系统还额外提供了121马力功率和325磅-英尺（约合441牛米）的扭矩。电机和柴油引擎的综合扭矩输出达到516磅-英尺（约合700牛米）@1400转/分。由于车辆配备的电池容量较小，因此在使用家用充电系统时仅需2小时就可以充满电。这一第三代混动系统还可以从导航系统，摄像头和雷达获取信息，进一步优化电能输出。这些混动车在车展亮相后将于夏季上市。

 

Geneva: Mercedes-Benz diesel plug-in hybrids

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed plans to employ its 9G-Tronic hybrid transmission with diesel engines in the C- and E-Class lineup.

 

The plug-in hybrid system will be paired with Mercedes' OM654 family of inline four-cylinder diesel mills. An electric motor will draw from a 13.5-kWh battery, enabling drivers to cruise for an estimated 31 miles (NEDC cycle) on electricity alone. The hybrid system also provides supplementary 121 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. Combining the electric motor and diesel engine delivers 516 pound-feet of twist from as low as 1,400 rpm.

 

As an added bonus, the German automaker says the relatively small battery can be filled from a home charging system in just two hours. The third-generation hybrid system also takes into account information from the navigation system, camera and radar to optimize use of available electricity.

 

Pre-production examples will be presented this week in Geneva ahead of market arrival by late summer this year.
