Filtered of different technologies being achieved or develop by a German automaker Mercedes Benz. Along with the other companies, they also releases their own concept car and they named it as the Mercedes Benz F125. According to the German automaker Benz F125 represents what car will look like in the next 15 years. Not just that this concept car Benz F125 carries a bunch of new features and technologies.
Below are the lists of new features and technologies embedded on this new Mercedes Benz F125 concept car.
1.) Electric motors in each wheel
Being driven by electric motors in each wheel, getting electricity from a fuel cell stack and lithium sulfate battery pack.
The drive system for the F125 builds on Mercedes-Benz’s extensive research into hydrogen fuel cell technology. The car has high strength hydrogen cells integrated into its body shell. These feed a fuel cell stack that converts hydrogen to electricity for the wheel-mounted electric motors. There is also a lithium sulfate battery pack, new technology being researched by Mercedes-Benz, to capture regenerative braking energy. This drive system gives the F125 a range of more than 600 miles.
2.) Gullwing doors and no B pillar
F125 uses gullwing doors and no B pillar. Mercedes-Benz says this arrangement is possible due to the very strong body shell and lightweight doors made from carbon fiber composites.
The doors open with a hand gesture over an external sensor pad.
3.) F125 works as a chauffeured car
With its seating arrangement, the F125 works as a chauffeured car. The passenger seat folds down and forward, while the right side of the rear lounge seat folds out to provide an ottoman for the passenger. Stretchy fabrics and materials allow the ottoman to fold out while still retaining a connection with the rest of the rear seat.
4.) Adaptive cruise control system
The F125 builds on Mercedes-Benz’s current adaptive cruise control system to allow near autonomous driving. Using vehicle-to-vehicle communication, it can automatically pass slower traffic. Mercedes-Benz also envisions a thoroughly connected car: at the beginning of a trip, the car might read out or display current news, than switch to a music mode. Toward the end of a trip, it could show the local weather.
And not just that Mercedes Benz F125 concept car can automatically negotiate slow-moving traffic jams, letting the driver read the paper or catch up on e-mail.
Ever wonder why its being called as F125? It because of the Mercedes-Benz’s 125 years of history in building luxury sedans as power train technology.
