More powerful, more economical and cleaner: the new modular engine family from Mercedes-Benz
- The new engine family from Mercedes-Benz sets new standards in terms of power output, refinement and efficiency.
- The new family of petrol and diesel engines, with 4, 6 and 8 cylinders, is of modular design. The key features of the new family are a standard cylinder spacing of 90 mm and identical interfaces to the vehicle, which makes for modern, flexible production, among other things.
- The scaling of state-of-the-art technologies and electrification options from 12 V to 48 V to high-voltage plug-in applications makes it possible to configure the appropriate powertrain for every vehicle.
- Mercedes-Benz is investing a total of around 3 billion euros in its strategic engine initiative.
- The new family of engines was launched in 2016 with the four-cylinder diesel OM 654 and will be systematically extended with the following engines in 2017:
- six-cylinder in-line petrol engine M 256
- four-cylinder in-line petrol engine M 264
- V8 petrol engine M 176
- six-cylinder in-line diesel engine OM 656
- A host of innovations will go into series production in 2017:
- electric auxiliary compressor eZV
- Integrated Starter-Alternator ISG
- belt-driven starter-alternator BSA
- 48 V electrical system
- cylinder shutoff
- Particulate filters for petrol engines
- near-engine exhaust system
- 2500 bar diesel injection
- CAMTRONIC in diesel engine (OM 656), V8 biturbo petrol engine (M 176) and four-cylinder petrol engine (M 264)
- In 2017, the new S-Class will be the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to be powered by the new engines.
- The new engines are tuned to the vehicles on state-of-the-art test rigs at the new Powertrain Integration Centre (AIZ) in Sindelfingen, where new technologies and powertrains are continuously further developed for the future.
