Smart Sustainability – the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB)

MEB changes everything. Like the I.D., the I.D. BUZZ being presented in Detroit is also based on the newly developed Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB). The future MEB models will be cars that will only be offered with pure electric drive systems. This design approach produces various benefits, in particular with regard to the package – the layout of the powertrain components, ancillary equipment and interior features. The zero-emission all-wheel drive system of the I.D. BUZZ consists primarily of an electric motor (150 kW) at the front axle, an electric motor at the rear axle (150 kW) as well as the power electronics, gearbox, a space-saving high-voltage flat battery mounted under the car floor and the ancillary equipment integrated in the front body. The vehicle's practically silent performance is truly fascinating.

Note:
Features and technical data of production models apply to models offered in Germany. Details for other countries may vary.
All performance levels, fuel efficiency and emission figures given in this press release are forecast figures as of January 2017.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
