Facing problems like coping up with the problem of global warming caused by the emissions of vehicles, Mercedes-Benz have developed a new technology which would be highly efficient in this scenario and is also supposed to meet long and short term European Emission Legislation’s rules. From some sources, a little revelation of this latest technology has been provided to the onlookers.
The main aim of Mercedes-Benz was to maximize the efficiency of the vehicle and reduce the emissions. After hours of man labour and brainstorming session, they finally came to a solution. Mercedes is planning to reduce the capacity of the engine from 6.3 litres to 4.0 litres, and to maintain or increase the power, they have proposed to setup twin-turbocharged units. To reduce the friction between the pistons and the cylinders, an advanced technology of friction reducing Nano-Slide is being used. After going through these experiments again and again, the efficiency has been showing a raise of as high as 30 per-cent.
Besides the on-going discussions and the constant reviews that the company receives from the people and experts, Mercedes-Benz is still preferring a four-cylinder engine over three-cylinder as they say that slower turning four-cylinder engine provide the same frictional benefits that a three-cylinder engine offers, and in addition, the four-cylinder engine provides this action in a smoother manner.
Mercedes-Benz also has hundreds of other plans in their bag of technology, which they would reveal and apply to the engines gradually after they properly get hold of those technologies and get fully assured that these techniques and methodologies would be helpful and increase the on-road efficiency. A few of these yet awaited advancements include premium plug-in hybrids, increasing the energy density of batteries which would lead to higher power in lesser charging time, etc. The R&D department at Mercedes-Benz works day and night to come up to the expectations of the people and provides them with a higher output than they expect of having!
