Merc Concept B-Class Electric Drive to be shown in Paris


 Mercedes-Benz will be showing its latest electric vehicle, the Concept B-Class Electric Drive at the 2012 Paris Motor Show next week. The new battery powered vehicle will be one of the first models to carry the ‘Electric Drive’ name on its boot lid along with all other future battery-powered electric passenger cars from Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG and Smart.

Using a 100kW electric motor that produces 310Nm of torque, the Concept B-Class Electric Drive offers attractive driving dynamics over a range of 200km and is suitable for everyday use. To charge the battery, you can use any standard household 230V power outlet, or alternatively, with rapid charging function, you can use a 400V high voltage terminal.

The so-called Energy Space in the floor still offers the same space as with current series production models and is the safe home of the powerful lithium-ion battery.

The family-friendly electric car from Mercedes-Benz is almost ready for series production, with the market launch already planned for 2014.
