Mercedes-Benz F-Cell

The F-Cell is a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle developed by Daimler AG, in two versions: an earlier one based on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and a newer one based on the B-Class. The first generation was introduced in 2002 with a range of about 161 km and a top speed of 132 km/h. The B-Class F-CELL has a 100 kW electric motor and a range of roughly 402 km, helped by more room for compressed hydrogen tanks, higher storage pressure and better fuel cell technology. Both use a sandwich floor to free space for passengers and drivetrain, and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell designed by the Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation. Dozens of cars were leased to customers in the United States, Europe, Singapore and Japan.
