Fuel Cells for the B-Class
| ||||||||||
Daimler has a long history of setting drive technology milestones. To ensure things stay that way, the company that invented the automobile is working hard on developing electric vehicles that will make zeroemission mobility possible. One option here is fuel cell cars such as the B-Class F-CELL, of which several units will be manufactured this year. Production of the small-batch series will proceed at a steady pace, beginning in 2010.
As a result, Daimler will be one of the first automakers to bring a fuel cell vehicle to the seriesproduction stage. The B-Class F-CELL vehicles will be assembled at the Sindelfingen plant, where researchers, developers, and production specialists will be working hand in hand.
Compared to the previous system in the A-Class, the new stack has a greater output, a longer range, and a cold-start capability at temperatures down to minus 25 degrees Celsius. Zeroemission driving is just one of many reasons for forging ahead with the development of fuel cell vehicles. For one thing, they are much more efficient than vehicles with internal combustion engines. What’s more, the electric motor doesn’t just generate impressive acceleration — it’s also very quiet.
