This time, there were no lower temperatures or the demand for more energy usage. The main challenges faced on the trip were the higher summer temperatures around 86 degrees Fahrenheit and greater traffic density around Stuttgart and in the southeast of England, However, Vision EQXX had a cool head throughout the entire way all due to the innovative thermal management system.
The electric drive unit has greater efficiency. It has the minimum heat wastage. The system is lightweight and small. The pumps, aero-shutters, and coolant valves are accurately designed to make sure that the electric drive unit sustains the most efficient temperature balance at a minimal energy cost. It contains a combination of innovative air innovative air-flow management along with a cooling plate installed on the vehicle floor. It enables it to benefit from the air flowing along the underside of Vision EQXX. This is the most aerodynamically efficient way to keep the electric drive unit under normal conditions. This allows a greater range of around two percent in the aerodynamic mode.
High ambient temperatures and stop-and-go highway traffic necessitated cooling of the electric drive-train and passenger cabin. However, the on-demand cooling system took it all in stride with no notable effect on the range. The multi-source heat pump is greatly efficient to cool the cabin temperature in warmer temperatures. The air conditioning worked 8 hours in 14 hours and 30 minutes of driving time. It had almost no negative impact on overall energy consumption.
Mercedes Vision eqxx has a four-door coupe that uses a 201bhp single electric model. The energy is taken from a 100 kWh battery that is 50% smaller and 30% lighter as compared to the 108 kWh pack in the Mercedes EQS. There are a total of 117 solar cells present on the roof enabling it to cover extra miles on a hot day. This further adds to its efficiency.
The Vision eqxx model is expected to be on sale at the end of 2023. The estimated cost is around £110,000. According to an approximate, the model will go fully electrical by the year 2030. technology, teamwork, and determination,”
Capable of Handling a Greater Range of Conditions
Vision EQXX proved its success in April this year. It covered 1,008 kilometers (626 miles) from Stuttgart to Cassis on the French Mediterranean coast and broke the records. It had to go through different weather conditions from a chilly 37.4 degrees to a warmer temperature that is 64 degrees Fahrenheit. It finished the journey with an energy consumption of 8.7 kWh/100 km and a remaining 140 kilometers (87 miles) on the arrival. But once is not enough. The engineering team is running a series of road trips. The purpose is to test the Vision EQXX technology under variable conditions.
