Does the Mercedes-Benz S-Class engine use an electric turbocharger?
1 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class engine utilizes an electric turbocharger, which is a form of forced induction for the engine. The turbocharger has transitioned from exhaust gas-driven to electric-driven, with its independent power source unaffected by exhaust backpressure. This form of forced induction enables stable boosting. Taking the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2021 S400L Business Edition as an example: it is a full-size sedan launched by Mercedes-Benz (imported), with dimensions of 5290mm in length, 1921mm in width, and 1503mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3216mm. It is equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 230kW and a maximum torque of 450Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
