What is Mercedes-Benz 4WD?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz 4WD refers to the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, which utilizes cutting-edge technology combining mechanical and electronic components to further enhance the outstanding characteristics of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The core technology of the 4MATIC system is the 4ETS (4-wheel Electronic Traction System). Since the Mercedes 4MATIC system uses an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch differential instead of traditional differential locks, the role of four-wheel electronic brake assistance becomes particularly crucial. Working in coordination with the ABS system, 4MATIC independently applies limited-slip braking to each wheel's braking force, allowing torque to be transmitted to wheels with traction. This enables flexible power distribution and improves the vehicle's off-road capability.
