New Mercedes Engine Is Made In China And Promises Up To 20 Km/L. Global Partnership, Innovative Technology And Top Efficiency

Mercedes-Benz revealed details about the new Mercedes engine, a 2.0 turbo mild hybrid that promises to impress not only with its performance but also with its efficiency, achieving averages of up to 20 km/l. Developed with a focus on sustainability and innovation, the engine is part of the new FAME (Family of Modular Engines) family and will be produced in China, in partnership with the joint venture Horse, founded by Renault and Geely.

This strategic move shows that, while many brands are advancing towards total electrification, Mercedes is betting on an intermediate solution: more efficient and less polluting combustion engines. The highlight is the M252, the first engine of the family, which combines a 48-volt mild hybrid system and an innovative Miller cycle, resulting in a high compression ratio and significant fuel savings.

What Makes The New M252 Engine So Special

The hybrid part of the new Mercedes engine operates through a 48-volt mild hybrid system, which combines a 2.0 turbo combustion engine with a 27 hp auxiliary electric motor. This electric motor performs several functions that enhance the vehicle’s efficiency and performance.

The new Mercedes engine uses the Miller cycle, an advanced technology that increases fuel consumption efficiency in low load situations, such as urban traffic. Compared to the traditional Otto cycle, the Miller closes the intake valves later, maximizing compression and reducing fuel waste.

Produced In China, But With Global DNA

The engine will be manufactured in China, marking another global partnership for Mercedes. The joint venture Horse, which brings together Renault and Geely, will be responsible for production, consolidating the importance of the Asian market in the German automaker’s strategy. The M252 will debut in the new CLA, expected to arrive at the end of 2025 or early 2026, initially prioritizing the electric version of the model.

Innovation That Promises To Redefine The Experience

Another highlight of the new Mercedes engine is the advancement in the turbocharging system, which uses a segmented turbine with a switchable scroll connection, increasing efficiency at low RPM. Mercedes also worked on noise reduction, implementing greater acoustic insulation and double partitions, features already seen in its more luxurious models.

According to the automaker, the M252 will be available in three power versions: 136 hp, 163 hp, and 190 hp, with the possibility of more powerful variations in the future.

With an estimated average consumption of 20 km/l, the new Mercedes engine is set to rival diesel engines in efficiency, while maintaining the brand’s characteristic performance and comfort. It is an innovation that reflects the pursuit of sustainability without compromising performance, bringing China as a key player in this new era of engines.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

A robotic hand uses touch and vision to pick ripe fruits with nearly 100% accuracy. Researchers have built a flexible robotic claw that detects the ripeness point and gently picks fruits.

IBGE opens 8,238 temporary positions to work on the 12th Agricultural Census, with salaries of up to R$ 4,008.00, food allowance of R$ 1,192.00, and online registration until July 1, 2026.

It’s not a car, it’s a giant 128 meters long and 10,000 tons: China launches the world’s largest electric ship, longer than a football field, with 10 battery containers totaling 19 MWh and a system capable of exchanging all the energy at the port.

Mechanic mixes boat and car parts, uses adapted hull, wheels, and two engines to build an amphibious vehicle that drives on land and sails in the sea.
