... the speedometer needle of the Mercedes C-Class Coupé: it reaches a top speed of 180 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 in six seconds. Under the hood is a high-performance drivetrain with an 800-volt voltage level from AVL Software and Functions. AVL received the eCarTec Award in the 'Drive Technology, System Electrics, Test Systems' category for this powertrain. The dynamic driving performance is made possible by the consistent design of all core components of the electric drivetrain - HV battery, electric motor and inverter - at 800 volts.
