EQ Boost Explained and Benefits from Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale

Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale EQ Boost overview from Bojan Savic - https://www.mbscottsdale.com. Essentially, a Mercedes-Benz equipped with EQ Boost is a mild hybrid, or light-electrified, vehicle. EQ Boost uses an integrated starter generator, mounted between the engine and the transmission, that combines a starter motor, an alternator, and an electric motor. Serving several functions: Powers an electric auxiliary compressor to virtually eliminate turbo lag, its internal fan spooling to 70,000 revs in a third of a second, supplying eight pounds of boost to either the exhaust-gas-driven turbocharger or directly to the engine. Powers a 48-volt electrical system that supplements the standard 12-volt electrical system
Supports engine-free sailing (coasting) under specific conditions when the vehicle is driven in Eco mode, improving fuel efficiency in this AMG 53 in the video models to as high as 28 mpg on the highway.
In this AMG 53 EQ Boost adds 21 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of instant torque to maximize acceleration and performance, bringing maximum output to 429 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. The concept isn’t new but is viewed within the automotive industry as an increasingly viable way to improve efficiency and performance at the same time. The primary, but not the only, benefit of using EQ Boost in the company’s performance vehicles is to give them instantaneous access to torque - minimizing the inherent weakness of an internal combustion engine by relying on the strength of an electric motor. Recoups energy, using it to recharge the 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery that supplies electricity to the 48-volt system
Eliminates all pulleys and belts on the engine, giving the inline six-cylinder a more compact size and eliminating parasitic power losses
Provides smoother operation of the automatic engine stop/start system.
