Mercedes-Benz has designed a new concept vehicle called the BlueZero. The aim was so create an affordable, eco-friendly car that is suitable for daily use while also offering different platforms. The BlueZero achieves this by allowing for three different platforms to be used: an E-Cell with a battery, an E-Cell plus with battery and gasoline, and an F-Cell with hydrogen. Also, if a front-end collision occurs, the sandwich floor concept allows for the powertrain to move into cells in the floor. On the surface, the BlueZero does not look like existing Benz models except the 3-pointed star in the center of the grille. Despite this, the car is curvy, sleek, and very practical in nature.
