Mercedes-Benz has presented a new electric research car with high energy efficiency.
The Vision EQXX can travel more than 1000 kilometers on a single battery charge in normal road traffic, said Daimler board member Markus Schäfer on Monday at a conference call.
Components and technical details of the car could be seen in future production vehicles in two to three years.
Stuttgart - Schäfer, who as Chief Technology Officer is responsible for development and purchasing, said the car should be tested on the road in a few months: "We will now show the 1000 kilometers," said the Daimler manager with a view to the announced Range.

Daimler CEO Ola Källenius said, according to a statement, the research vehicle shows “how we imagine the future of the electric car”.
It had a battery that would fit in a small car.
According to Schäfer, the shortage of semiconductors will persist in the first half of the year.
“That will continue to be with us.” In the second half of the year, however, the situation could possibly ease somewhat.
The shortage of semiconductors and other electronic components is a problem for the entire automotive industry and has already led to production restrictions at several manufacturers.
