Mercedes-Benz BlueZero is an automotive study by Daimler AG in which the alternative drive technology of the car is largely housed in the sandwich floor under the passenger cell. Thus, the manufacturer enables a larger interior volume. The name BlueZero alludes to the zero emissions and the resulting contribution to the environmental impact of the study.
According to Daimler, BlueZero is a modular concept that comes in three different models with different drive concepts: BlueZERO E-Cell, F-Cell and E-Cell PLUS. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class and B-Class are used as the basis. The cars have five raised seats, a payload of around 450 kilograms and over 500 liters of luggage space. The models share essential technical components.
