Mercedes-Benz has announced its latest EV that will be offered in Europe and is set to start production this year.

The car is the new A-Class E-CELL electric carwhich is designed for urban areas. The E-CELL is based on the gasoline-powered 5-door A-Class car already in production. The new electric car has five seats with enough interior room to take five adults and cargo. The new vehicle uses lithium-ion batteries and has a driving range of 124 miles when the batteries are fully charged.

“Over our almost 125-year history, we have accumulated extensive experience and knowhow in the area of electric vehicles, including both battery and fuel-cell. This knowhow has already provided the basis for getting two electric cars for everyday use onto the road: the smart fortwo electric drive, and the B Class F CELL,” says Dr Thomas Weber, the Daimler AG Board of Management member responsible for Group Research and Development Mercedes-Benz Cars. “The story now continues with our third electric car, the A Class E CELL., whose start of production is scheduled for autumn this year. The new car is a battery-driven electric Mercedes that enlarges our portfolio and offers our customers the kind of driving pleasure, comfort and safety that they have come to expect.”
