Car parts for MERCEDES-BENZ

Mercedes-Benz is a German car brand founded in 1926. It produces passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Daimler AG corporation owns the rights for the brand.

Technical features of Mercedes-Benz vehicles

• 7-speed automatic gearbox 7G Tronic. It was first produced in 2003. This gearbox is particularly installed in S500 W220 saloons with an 8-cylinder petrol engine. The 7G Tronic gearbox has a positive effect on fuel efficiency and dynamics. And the lock-up torque converter transmits the torque efficiently during acceleration. This development is used in GLA X156 crossovers, for example.
• The package of eco-friendly technologies called BlueEfficiency. This reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. For example, the ECO Start/Stop function will automatically turn off the engine when the car stops in a traffic jam. An efficient fuel supply system and an electric power-assisted steering with variable gear ratios promote optimal energy consumption. Nowadays, this technology is used in many Mercedes-Benz cars of the C- and G-Classes.
• Combination of a battery and proprietary fuel cell technology F-Cell. It was developed in 2015 for the GLC F-Cell car. Apart from a lithium-ion battery with a power output of 155 kW, the vehicle has two tanks containing a total of 4.4 kg of hydrogen. The car is able to work on either electrical power or hydrogen, or both. To travel 100 km, it requires 0.34 kg of hydrogen and 13.7 kWh of power from the battery when driving in the combined mode. Hereby the level of CO2 emissions is equal to zero.

Design features

The company uses the “Sensual Purity” design concept as of 2009. It was developed by Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Daimler AG. The idea centers around combining emotions and intelligence: an attractive, streamlined body and high-tech. The concept is embodied, for example, in the exterior of A-class Mercedes-Benz cars. Its sporty character shows itself in every detail: low bonnet, LED headlights with chromed frame, and large wheel arches. Additionally, narrow 2-section rear lamps and protruding air inlets follow the shape of the radiator grille.

The avant-garde interior style is highlighted by the dashboard, which is divided into two 3D horizontal sections. The upper one is a wide display, the lower one is visually separated from the main body of the dashboard by a groove which creates an illusion of hovering.

Safety systems in Mercedes-Benz models

The Pre-Safe system intended for collision detection and prevention is available for almost all Mercedes-Benz S-class models since 2003. In emergency situations, this system automatically tightens the seatbelts, moves the seats and headrests to optimal positions, and closes the windows. In time, audible and visual warnings were added, as well as pedestrian detection function and autonomous braking in case of danger.

The following systems are available for modern cars of the brand: Blind Spot Monitoring System, emergency braking, side collision protection, and an Attention Assist that monitors the driver’s fatigue level. An adaptive Brake system with a hill-holder reduces the braking path.
