 The Mercedes-Benz BlueZero E-Cell, BlueZero F-Cell, and BlueZero E-Cell Plus highlight the automaker's environmentally-friendly technology and preview the next-generation A- and B-Class cars, probably the same rough way the ConceptFASCINATION has previewed the upcoming 2010 E-Class. All three concepts are based on the architecture underpinning the A- and B-Class cars. Using this architecture, Mercedes claims the powertrain technology does not impede on interior space and, in fact, contributes to relatively agile handling.
The three concepts aren't too slow, either. All three make their way from 0 to 62 mph in less than 11 seconds.
The BlueZero E-Cell employs a lithium-ion battery-electric drive that has a range of 120 miles. With a charging capacity of 7 kW, the electrics in the BlueZero E-Cell and the BlueZero E-Cell Plus can be recharged in two to four hours for a range of 120 and 240 miles, respectively. The semi-transparent roof lets 20 percent of the light into the interior and, with its solar panels, can generate enough power to charge a cell phone or MP3 player.
A 1.0L three-cylinder turbo from the smart fortwo extends the range of the BlueZero E-Cell Plus to 370 miles. The F-Cell -- the fuel-cell powered concept -- has a range of over 240 miles.
