Mercedes-AMG Survey on Hybrid / EV Concepts

[bollar]

Received the following from AMG. There's a survey that I can't share, but this link gives some interesting insight into how AMG might be thinking about this: http://www.mercedes-amg.com/surveys/images/technology_profile_eng.pdf

Car manufacturers are facing fiercer environmental legislation all over the world. As a result, especially the high-performance branch is heavily impacted. To increase our performance in the future, we would like to learn from and to discuss different possibilities regarding “how eco-sensitive must AMG be” with you."

To answer the questionnaire we would like to ensure a basic understanding regarding the following topics:

• Downsizing-concept
• Hybrid-/Plug-in-hybrid vehicles
• Electric Cars

I got the same survey. The questions were mostly about downsizing displacement, and reducing the number of cylinders, with a brief mention about supplemental electric motors.
