Mercedes-Benz EQC and GLC F-CELL: on the road to series production
Stuttgart/Arjeplog. #mercedesbenz is launching its electric offensive. At the 2017 #internationalmotorshow (IAA) in Frankfurt, the company presented a milestone on the road to emission-free driving in the shape of the pre-production versions of the #glcfcell - the world's first electric vehicle to combine a fuel-cell and a plug-in battery in the powertrain. 2019 will see the market launch of the #eqc - the first fully battery-electric #mercedesbenz production model from the new product and technology brand EQ. On the road to series production, prototypes have now successfully completed winter testing in northern Sweden.
Before a new #mercedesbenz model goes into production, it needs to pass a series of tough and thorough tests: in addition to thewinter testing in northern Sweden, there are of course summer tests in southern Europe and the USA as well as worldwide endurance road tests. The company has been testing each new model under extreme conditions near the Arctic Circle for decades – in icy temperatures down to minus 35 degrees Celsius, on snow-covered roads, and on sheer ice on frozen lakes. To this end, #mercedesbenz has set up a test centre in the small northern Swedish town of Arjeplog in Lapland. In addition to the road testing in the far north, tests take place there on specially set-up testing tracks. Demanding hill climbs with gradients of up to 20 percent, testing tracks with varying coefficients of friction, handling courses, and skid pads on the almost sheer ice of the frozen lake pose the stiffest of challenges for the powertrain and control systems.
