In the era of new energy, thanks to the relatively fixed operating environment, the new energy of commercial vehicles will be more thorough than that of passenger vehicles. Especially in the field of short-distance urban logistics, pure electric vehicles will have a huge development prospect.
In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz Urban e-Truck concept truck is equipped with two wheel-side motors to drive the driving wheels, which greatly weakens the proportion of the power system to the interior space of the vehicle. The synergistic output power of the two wheel motors is 250 kW, and the synergistic output torque is 1000 Nm. The modular battery pack is placed under the vehicle. According to different usage requirements, Mercedes-Benz will also provide battery packs with different capacities for users to choose. The standard model is equipped with a 212 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and the cruising range can reach 200 kilometers on a single charge.
In terms of appearance, the Mercedes-Benz Urban e-Truck concept truck is also sci-fi enough. The whole vehicle is composed of large rounded corners, and all the body surfaces are wrapped by large-area cladding to reduce the air resistance of the vehicle. Although the front face no longer needs air intake, Mercedes-Benz designers still prepared an air intake grille for it, and the headlights use slender LED light sources. The exterior rearview mirror has been weakened into a camera, which reads rear information through the display on the A-pillar.
Inside the vehicle, a set of 12.3-inch LCD monitors replace the conventional gauges. The center console is equipped with a detachable tablet computer. Through the in-vehicle interconnection technology, the Mercedes-Benz Urban e-Truck concept truck can enable the driver to retrieve vehicle information through mobile smart devices, and at the same time optimize the vehicle’s operating route in combination with urban traffic conditions. Optimized selection. In terms of mass production, according to previous official news from Mercedes-Benz, this pure electric short-distance logistics truck is expected to be officially launched on the market within the next ten years.
