Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO
The Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO is a 2010 Mercedes concept alternative fuel vehicle which can be built to use one of three alternative fuels: electric, hybrid electric/internal combustion, and hydrogen. It was first introduced at the January 11–25 2009 Detroit Auto Show. A single vehicle architecture accommodates three models with different electric power-train configurations, each fully developed and ready for testing. The electric drive system gives each model the same acceleration and top speed, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (62.5 mph) in under 11 seconds, and with top speed electronically limited to 150 km/h (93 mph) for optimal range and energy efficiency. Peak torque is 320 N⋅m (236 lb⋅ft) and, as with all EVs, is available from zero rpm.
