Mercedes Reveals Novel Safe Gadgets

Mercedes has brought out a model car that boasts of a great deal of innovative protection engineering that may, one day be, common on almost all the mainstream cars.

The ESF 2009 is founded on an S400 Hybrid which has a dozen protective conceptions and a good number of which are completely working.

Maybe the most fundamental is a brake bag built-in below the car that expands if it feels a collision is forthcoming. The bag raises the car by up to 80mm and produces friction on the road to slow the car.

Unusual seat pads that move occupiers up to 50mm into the middle of the cabin if a collision takes place also marks a novel idea. Other introductions include meditative tyres and an airbag equipped into the seatbelt.

Ulrich Mellinhoff, Head of Mercedes safety development, remarked that the ESF 2009 plainly shows the all-inclusive technique of Mercedes-Benz for more submissive and active security.
