Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck, sería el primer camión totalmente eléctrico

Mercedes-Benz se está preparando para lanzar al mercado su primer camión totalmente eléctrico.

Basándose en el estudio Urban eTruck que debutó el año pasado en el IAA, la versión de producción fue oficialmente confirmada hoy, con los alemanes ya en conversaciones con unos 20 clientes potenciales del sector de eliminación, alimentos y logística, que han mostrado interés en él.

"Después del estreno mundial en septiembre de 2016, en el Salón Internacional de Vehículos Comerciales, la reacción de los clientes fue excepcional, estamos hablando con una veintena de clientes potenciales del sector de la disposición, alimentos y logística. Dando el siguiente paso hacia un producto de la serie ", comentó el jefe de Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Stefan Buchner.

Con el fin de adaptarse mejor a sus necesidades, se lanzarán versiones de 18 y 25 toneladas del eTruck y, dependiendo de sus aplicaciones, vendrán con un cuerpo refrigerado, un cuerpo de caja seca o un vehículo de plataforma.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL

RK claims that this is the highest price paid for a 1954 Gullwing since 2012 when Barrett Jackson sold a similar example for $2.2 million.

This particular 300SL was initially sold by lumber industry leader Leopold Bentley from Canada. He imported the German sports car with every available option excluding the Rudge wheels and with the car, helped set up a Canadian importer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles for Vancouver. His 300SL was used as a demonstrator to help attract customers and was eventually sold in 1956.

Over the proceeding decades and under the ownership of this second owner, it has been driven for over 45,000 miles. During the 1990s, it underwent a minor restoration which included a fresh lick of paint and some re-appointments throughout the interior to make it look as new as possible.

At RK Motors' most recent auction, it was sold with the original belly pans, books, tools and the optional Nardi steering wheels.

According to president of RK Collection Joseph Carroll “The '54 Gullwing brought this record price because of its pristine condition and flawless mechanics. This typifies the exceptional quality of the vehicles we make available to car collectors both here in the U.S., and throughout the world. This is underscored by the fact that this transaction signifies a three-year high for a'54 Gullwing, establishing a new price-point in the collector car market."

2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA

Although Fairy Design is not very well known outside Japan, in its home country it has made a name for itself when it comes to modifying luxury imports such as Mercedes, Porsche, Maserati.

Moreover, the tuning company collaborated with Liberty Walk on the Gran Turismo project we featured not that long ago, making good use of their expertise.

Liberty Walk’s wide-body kits are very popular nowadays, but not everybody can get their hands on a high-end exotic to sport the desirable look. Other companies out there (like Pandem and TRA-Kyoto) appeal to the common motorist, but the “Rocket Bunny” kits are race-inspired (and somewhat crude), so Fairy Design probably tried its luck with a mild posh-car that's not getting much attention.

The kit for Mercedes' compact sedan consists of a front lip spoiler, a rear diffuser, a trunk spoiler and, of course, widened wheel flares. The end result combines the vehicle’s slanted roofline with a widened stance, and the tuner asks approximately $9,909 if the kit made from carbon fiber. Is it worth the buck? That's up to CLA owners to decide.

Mercedes-Benz GLS 2016

The Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup was refreshed last week with the facelifted GLS, which is now available for order in Britain.

If you spend a bit more, at £78,095, you can jump into the GLS 350d Designo that gives the SUV a four-zone climate control for all three rows of seats, heated steering wheel, cooled front seats, temperature-controlled cup holders, a choice of two exclusive Nappa leather colors and the Active Curve System, which uses the active suspension stabilizers to reduce rolling motion in mid- and high-speed bends.

The Designo model also gets the center differential lock, low-range gearbox, three additional heights for the suspension, extra modes for the Dynamic Select, underbody protection panels and off-road function for the headlights.

Standard driver assistance systems include the Collision Prevention Assist, Crosswind Assist, Pre-Safe, Attention Assist, Brake Assist, ESP with Curve Dynamic Assist, electronic all-wheel drive traction system and Steer Control steering function assist. Mercedes also offers the optional Driving Assistance Package Plus, BAS Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping, Pre-Safe Plus, Active Blind Spot Assist and other “assists”. The two-stage front airbags, window airbags for all three rows of seats and the driver’s knee airbag are standard.

Both trims share a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine, rated at 258 PS (254 HP) and 620 Nm (lb-ft) of torque, offered with a 9-speed 9G-TRONIC gearbox as standard. CO2 emissions are down from 209 g/km on the pre-facelift model to 199 g/km.
