Mercedes Is Going to Assemble F-CELL Vehicles
Mercedes-Benz has announced that it plans to launch the production of B-Class F-CELL vehicles in the end of this year. The German manufacturer is joining efforts with Honda in the work on this new project.
The production will be limited: Mercedes wants to make only 200 cars as a first try and ship them to American and European customers in the beginning of 2010. Previously there was a plan to sell compact B-Class to the U.S., but it had to be postponed.
F-CELL or hydrogen-powered electric autos have great fuel economy. A car with an equivalent 2.0-liter gasoline engine cannot even be compared to an F-CELL car that uses over 70mpg. The new B-Class models have 134 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque. The maximum speed is 106 mph. A car can cover almost 250 miles on hydrogen fuel cell.
Mercedes painted B-Class in silver, put 10-spoke alloy wheels on it and equipped the interior with heated leather seats, automatic climate control and COMAND communication system.
