Mercedes Ener G Force SUV Concept

 All this will not in its current form, not a car fanatic who hopes the iconic G-Class is about ten to twenty years from now is. Mercedes also wants nothing more than this and to get to anticipate the business has been a design competition held on how the G of 2025 should look like. The radical Ener-G-Force went with the profits made off.

The Mercedes Ener-G-Force is sprung from the Los Angeles Design Challenge 2012 as preparation for the auto show in two weeks in the American metropolis will start. There are two versions, the so-called "Highway Patrol Vehicle 2025", a digital visualization of the police car of the future, and a civilian version. The latter should not be taken literally because you have to admit, the Ener-G-Force is monstrous!

Would the Mercedes Ener-G-Force into production, he would weigh significantly less than the current G. And the environment completely relieve rides the study on hydrogen. Four electric motors in the hub of each wheel ensure that each individual is driven and if necessary adjusts itself to the terrain. Tanks on the roof filled with recycled water and then led to a hydro-tech converter which then generates energy to the fuel cell module to activate. The storage for the recovered electrical energy are in - yes - the side sills. In theory, the range about 800 kilometers.
