Mercedes-Benz Hybrid Drive Technology in the S400 Hybrid

The new Mercedes-Benz S 400 BlueHYBRID is based on the S 350, and features an extensively modified drive train. This encompasses a further development of the 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, an additional magneto-electric motor, the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission specially configured for the hybrid module, the necessary operating and control electronics, the transformer and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery.

@jh5kl in cold weather a diesel engine needs time to warm up befor it is started and that would not work in cold climates, also diesels need to be warm to be efficient

@NoxNoctisUmbra I have never seen a diesel-hybrid and by all the people I ear talking about that I imagine that it never existed, I really don`t understand why.

[amdnovello]

it's not an interesting production

try to think toyota didn't do that because it would pollute more than petrol engine and it's torque were low like the one of the motor

Did i miss it? Or they did not mention it.. how many MPG?

Besides.. Imagine Hybrid DIESEL Turbo engine. I know it would be bit louder.. but look at MPG!
