Mercedes-Benz Unveils F800 Style Modular-Approach Concept


The chassis for the F800 is a five seat upper-market sedan built to be an electric vehicle, top to bottom. The drive train, however, is modular, allowing for a plug-in hybrid electric or hydrogen fuel-cell electric power trainThat modularity is what sets the Daimler approach to its next-generation concept vehicles apart from other manufacturer's the Style would have a range of about 373 miles per tank of H2 while the model would offer 19 miles all-electric and about the same total range.
All components are inside the F800's front engine compartment and chassis gaps, allowing for a full-sized trunk and passenger area. Mercedes plans to use their advanced F-CELL components drive option while the plug-in would feature Daimler's BlueZero powertrain.Very cool approach from Mercedes-Benz, whose competition from Audi and BMW show that the Germans are definitely on top of the future of auto tech
