Does the Mercedes-Benz S-Class use an electric turbocharger?
1 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class uses an electric turbocharger. The main advantages of a turbocharged engine are that it can provide more sufficient air in most cases, enhancing the engine's power while also improving fuel economy. However, turbocharged engines are not omnipotent; they can experience turbo lag during operation. To better address this lag, an electric turbocharger was introduced. In addition to exhaust gas turbochargers, cars also use electric turbochargers. The electric turbocharger functions similarly to the exhaust gas turbocharger, as both are forms of forced induction for the engine. The difference is that the electric turbocharger replaces the exhaust-driven boost with an electric-driven boost. The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class are 5259 mm in length, 1899 mm in width, 1497 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3165 mm.
