Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid: Hybrid car with a Lithium Ion battery
Hybrid car are circulating this time, almost all using the battery type Nickel-Metal Hydride, but with a different Hybrid car from the Mercedes Benz is one.
Mercedes Benz S400 BlueHybrid type is the only Hybrid car that uses Lithium Ion battery type that is more efficient compared with the Nickel-metal. By using this type of battery, Mercedes Benz sure that this car can run 30 miles per gallon (12.7 kilometers per 1 liter).
You may see less as “economical” but as a car engine with a capacity of 3.5V liter V-6, we believe this is good enough.
The constraints faced by using Lithium Ion battery type is the level of heat higher but the Mercedes Benz claim that they have successfully created the Lithium Ion battery for cars that can generate heat below 60 degrees Celsius.
According to the plan this car will be launched in 2009.
