Coffins and equipment are loaded and unloaded via the loading deck of any funeral vehicle many times during a working day, subjecting them to considerable stress. For this reason, the outfits on our Vitos are manufactured with high quality materials and aluminium. Even the coffin loading systems, with trolleys that slide on shaped runners, respect the strictest quality criteria, and they were tested to last in time. What is more, all operations are facilitated by the low loading deck and the range of decks available.

Pilato Automotive GmbH
Pilato Automotive GmbH, based in Alfdorf in the district of Rems-Murr (40 km east of Stuttgart), was founded in cooperation with Pilato S.p.A.: the union of the two companies combines decades of experience in the construction of special vehicles for hearses.
Green generation of Pilato Hybrid Plug-In hearses
The new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class Restyling hearses can now rely on the advanced EQ Power plug-in hybrid technology. This is an extraordinary achievement that will allow the funeral industry to benefit from all the advantages of electric drive.
The ideal opportunity for those who need to travel for short distances, within cemeteries and to access ZTL (restricted access) areas, with the advantage of vignette exemption during the first years from registration (three or five depending on the specific region).
The plug-in hybrid range combines two different power units: the combustion engine and the electric motor. The two forms of traction work together in an extremely efficient manner, doubling the driving comfort: electric power for zero-emission travel on urban routes and during parades, internal combustion power for long-distance travel.
Green generation of Pilato Hybrid Plug-In hearses
Here's how the plug-in hybrid on the new E-Class works in simple terms. A high-voltage lithium-ion battery is used to store electrical energy, which can be recharged by means of an external power source, including a domestic socket. Thanks to the regenerative braking system, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy in order to partially recover braking energy when no power is applied and the vehicle is rolling. The electric motor can be used both as a motor and as a generator. In the first case, it is used for traction and in the second, the electrical energy is recovered and used to recharge the battery while rolling and braking.
The new hybrid plug-in engines are ready to support your business, offering both economic and sustainability benefits. Thanks to Pilato's range of incentives, our professionals will support you in choosing the most suitable hearse for your operational needs.
You can choose between the following engines:
E300de diesel/electric hybrid - 4-cylinder in-line diesel engine, 1,950 cm³ displacement, 143 kW (194 hp), 90 kW (122 hp) electric motor, 225 kW (306 hp) system output 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission
E300e petrol/electric hybrid - 4-cylinder in-line petrol engine, 1,991 cm³ displacement, 155 kW (211 hp), 90 kW (122 hp) electric motor, 235 kW (320 hp) system output 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission
