EfficiencyHouse-Plus with electric mobility: experiencing the future<br />
The EfficiencyHouse-Plus with electric mobility project in Berlin offers a preview of the sustainable residential and mobility concepts<br />
of tomorrow. The project house uses ultramodern technology to produce more electricity than it needs. The surplus power can be used<br />
to recharge battery-electric vehicles.<br />
A family will move into the house for 15 months in March 2012. Experts will assist them as they test the interaction between this new<br />
generation of buildings and electric mobility concepts. <strong>Daimler</strong> will contribute a Mercedes-Benz A-Class E-CELL with an innovative<br />
inductive (wireless) charging system, as well as a smart fortwo electric drive, a smart ebike and charging infrastructure for the home.<br />
smart ebike:<br />
Free of emissions and<br />
full of emotion<br />
Urban mobility demands around the globe and the smart<br />
brand’s experience with electric mobility have led to the<br />
development of an unconventional vehicle that is perfect<br />
for big cities: The smart ebike cleverly supplements automobiles<br />
and ensures a clean and enjoyable ride with zero<br />
local emissions.<br />
The smart electric bike will start moving people through<br />
cities quickly, comfortably and with zero local emissions in<br />
the spring of 2012. The ebike not only sets new standards<br />
for bicycle design, it will also thrill customers with other<br />
innovations such as a USB connection for smartphones and<br />
a brake-energy recovery system.<br />
