Mercedes stated this week that they would be releasing a new brand of E-class that will be released in September of 2008. Mercedes is creating the E-class to be more for the younger consumers – which means we can expect to see a more unique body style and design that will be different from all of the other models.
Mercedes told us that it will have a tauter, edgier appearance inspired by the new C-class, including a clamshell-style bonnet, prominent swage lines along the flanks and a high boot line. Lightweight construction techniques will be used to help ensure the new E-class does not gain much weight. Mercedes will use a full steel structure with greater use of tailored blanks to keep the kilograms in check.
Mercedes-Benz is in the middle of creating the F-Cell concept – which will become a hydrogen fuel cell based vehicle. Mercedes has been testing this and other fuel cell cars around Europe and the United States. They have all the luxury of a Mercedes vehicle while also being environmentally friendly with absolutely zero emissions.
Mercedes are known for their smaller, luxury vehicles. So you can imagine how excited we were to catch a look at the Unimog. Aparently these Unimogs have been around for over 50 years – but they are a scarce breed of truck that we seldom see.
