Mercedes-Benz is known for its luxury cars, but the automaker is now turning to its Formula 1 team to help build more efficient EVs. The move could help the German marque keep pace with Tesla and cut costs for consumers. EVs MercedesBenz Formula1
The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX was able to drive over 745 miles on a single charge last yearJust as impressive is the fact that it only took 18 months to develop the boundary-pushing EV thanks to the F1 team’s knowledge of aerodynamics and electric motors. One of the major advantages that newer, EV-focused marques such as Tesla have is their ability to develop and modify models much quicker than their legacy counterparts, according to Reuters.
It’s unlikely that the Vision EQXX will ever go into production, but the concept will inform the new EV platform that Mercedes will launch next year, according to the news agency. You can expect to feel the F1 team’s influence in other battery-powered models going forward, too. Its engine team is currently working on at least a half-dozen projects connected to production models.
