Excerpt

The article delves into the hybridization of Mercedes-Benz's modular six-cylinder engines, with a particular focus on the facelift of the M 256 gasoline engine and the OM 656 diesel engine. Both engines have been upgraded with state-of-the-art mild hybrid technology, integrated into the revised 9G-tronic transmission. The M 256 now features an electric auxiliary compressor, improving tractive power and driving performance, while the OM 656 benefits from increased power and torque. The second generation of the 48-V Powerpack has been made more compact and efficient, enhancing overall performance and reducing emissions. The article also highlights the intelligent 48-V operating strategy, which optimizes driving comfort, agility, and efficiency. The comprehensive facelift of these engines underscores Mercedes-Benz's commitment to meeting future regulatory challenges and maintaining its position in the automotive industry.
