Mercedes electric concept A for Frankfurt

This teaser for a Mercedes-Benz Concept EQ A hints at an electric car that will be revealed at Frankfurt next week, writes Brian Byrne.

It follows the WQ crossover concept shown at Paris last autumn and is built on the M-B Modular Electric Architecture.

The company plans to have 10 electric vehicles on sale by 2022, and the production version of the EQ A — likely to be a small hatchback on the lines of the GLA — will probably be one of the first.
