'The race is real': Mercedes-Benz is plugging its F1 team into the engineering process to build more efficient mass-market EVs fasterto keep up with Tesla
F1 technology has always eventually bled over into mass-market vehicles. But Mercedes' F1 collaboration to build more efficient EVs faster is unprecedented because it embeds that racing mindset and technological expertise directly in product development.
Last year, Mercedes unveiled its EQXX concept car, a super-efficient EV capable of a range of more than 1,200 km , which was jointly developed with the German premium carmaker's F1 team in England. "We have an edge here with Formula One that others don't have," Mercedes Chief Technology Officer Markus Schaefer said. "Tesla doesn't have it. Other teams don't have it."Speed is ever more important because newer entrants, above all Tesla, can develop or tweak models far more quickly than legacy carmakers.
