link title Mercedes-Benz is claiming a major breakthrough in automotive battery development, announcing it will use lithium-ion technology in its upcoming S400 BlueHybrid that will go on sale in Europe in mid-2009. U.S. sales will follow in the third quarter of 2009. If Mercedes sticks to that schedule, the new upmarket gasoline-electric hybrid will be the first series-production road car to rely on lithium-ion batteries for the storage of energy, presaging a whole new lineup of hybrid models being readied by Mercedes-Benz for introduction in coming years. The move contrasts General Motors, which has announced that it will put a lithium-ion-based plug-in hybrid Saturn Vue on the market in 2010. GM also plans to use lithium-ion batteries to power its electric vehicles based on the Volt concept. GM plans to deliver the electric cars, which store power in batteries that are charged by plugging into the power grid or by using small onboard gasoline or diesel engines or fuel cells to generate onboard power, in 2010 as well. Coolness !!! |
