Daimler opens new MB R&D center in Beijing, presents G-Code hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid all-wheel drive concept

Green Car Congress

The G-Code is powered by two individually controlled drive cores: a compact, turbocharged hydrogen-fueled combustion engine which solely drives the front wheels, and an electric motor which drives the rear axle and transmits its power selectively to the two wheels via a dual multi-disc clutch. The 2+2-seater SUC measures about 4.10

Nanoslide twin-wire arc spraying moving from AMG to series-production Mercedes-Benz diesel engines; reduced friction and lower fuel consumption

Green Car Congress

Nanoslide uses twin-wire arc spraying to melt iron/carbon wires and spray the material onto the internal cylinder wall. The Nanoslide procedure melts wires of iron/carbon alloy in an electric arc; the melted material is deposited onto the cylinder wall by a gasflow as a layered, ultra-fine to nano-crystalline coating.
