Summary
Sustainable drive systems and innovative safety technologies are the mainstays of Daimler’s vision of mobility for the future. Vehicles with hydrogen-powered fuel cells provide ideal conditions for environment-friendly mobility that saves natural resources. As the pioneer of this technology, Daimler already presented the first vehicle with this highly efficient and environment-friendly drive concept in 1994. The Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL will be one of the first series-produced vehicles with a zeroemission fuel-cell drive. A new generation of fuel-cell drive will be used to power this innovative vehicle. The fuel cell system is much more compact while at the same time offering higher performance. It is completely suitable for everyday use. The fuel cell system used in the Mercedes-Benz BClass F-CELL is demonstrating its suitability for heavy-duty operation in commercial vehicles. By means of combining two B-Class systems with an energy storage unit, a highly powerful aggregate is created for application in the new FuelCELL-Hybrid bus
