Mercedes-Benz starts its first row-produced fuel cell car on the road: new B ‑ category F-CELL. The pollution free electrical car has better an achievement, than a 2.0-Liter-Treibstoffauto similar is and completely for daily driving is corresponded. Zero emission the heading for system uses the equivalent of 3.3 litres of Diesel per 100 kilometer in the NEDC (new European driving cycle). Production of B ‑ category F-CELL begins late 2009 with a small lot. First from around 200 carriers is supplied at customers to Europe and in the USA at the beginning next year. The new fuel cell carrier offers everything, which people of Mercedes-Benz expect: High comfort and security as well as no reduction in the interior and loading capacity. Customers do not have to sacrifice driving pleasure any, because the electric motor has a maximum output of 100 horse power kW/136 and of maximum torque of 290 nanometers, which are present from the first revolution. It guarantees that B ‑ category F-CELL, whose impressive dynamic treating characteristics are far better in some cases than two-litres a fuel car arrives away at an excellent beginning. Despite these qualities the zero emission fuel cell carrier drive uses the equivalent of only 3,3 litres Diesel fuel per 100 kilometer (NEDC).Owing to its large distance approximately 400 kilometers and that again refuelling times of the short-circuit from around three minutes, B ‑ category F-CELL guarantees local zero emission mobility even for long expansions. „2009 are the year, in which we manufacture further milestones, in which supportable mobility are concerned.
The B-category F-CELL takes row production conditions on an innovative role, like the first fuel cell of the world under propelled to be produced automobile, “, says Dr. Thomas Weber, Mitglied of the supervisory board of Daimler AG, responsible for group research and development for Mercedes Benz cars. The technological heart of the carrier is new production of the contract to produce high performance fuel cell system, in which gaseous hydrogen with atmospheric oxygen at staff 700 reacts, in order a river for the electric motor. The fuel cell system of B ‑ category F-CELL has a very good Cold engine even at the temperatures, which are as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius. The heading for system was completely again-developed against the F-CELL in category, which was represented 2004, if Mercedes Benz engineers obtain considerable improvements, in the exit, in the torque, instrument range, reliability and began to characteristics and comfort. The B-category F-CELL now offers a driving of the pleasure and the everyday life suitability at horizontally aligned Mercedes - without local to emissions. As in the half-breeds with burn machines, uses fuel cell the car a Lithiumionbatterie with an exit of 35 kilowatts and a capacity of 1.4 KW/H to load energy and recover braking energy.
Lithium ion technology offers some advantages over conventional batteries, including compact measures, high speed, large reloading efficiency and a long service life. ‑ Category F-CELL the singular sand yielding floor architecture uses the b, which admits far away of a and of the B-category is. The advantage of this draft is that the drive components are in the sand yielding floor, in which it protected and much area will not take up, so that the interior of the carrier remains completely usable and is present a loading capacity of 416 litres. The B-category F-CELL does not need to be afraid comparison into equipment any is concerned. In the eye falling characteristics cover a bonamite silver end and an exclusive light alloy turn inside a draft with 10 spokes. In interior, leather upholstery you set for heating, continue automatic climatic price increase and the COMAND system, as well as other characteristics, guaranteeing a high stage of the comfort. The same level of security as in other Mercedes cars All the same which the conditions, which are reliability of B ‑ category F-CELL of the same high stage as in the Mercedes carriers with conventional burn machines. That B ‑ category integrated security concept F-cells considers the specific characteristics of the inventive heading for system.
The concept contains expertise of experience of many years Mercedes-Benz has had with fuel cell carrier drives and applications of high voltages. Mercedes engineers examined and optimized the drive-specific security of the components in more than 30 additional abort tests. Net of the gas stations required for wide-spread use of the car With more than 100 carriers and a combined total quantity examine of over 4, 5 million kilometers of the sample examination, the Daimler and Mercedes-Benz have the most extensive experience with fuel cell carriers of each possible manufacturer world-wide. The b ‑ category F-CELL is further certification that high stage of this technology of the development for automobile use.
However a complete net of the hydrogen gas stations must be still created, before at the place zero emission can become driving wide-spread reality. In order to form this possible, Daimler with government authorities, energy utility programs and oil companies co-operates with the community projects with the places such as Hamburg, Stuttgart and California. Mercedes-Benz regards the development of the electrical cars with battery and fuel cell carrier drives for local zero emission, as means of the addition of the carriers with Hightech combustion engines driving. Advanced Diesel and carburetor engines remain important for applications of automobiles for a long time to come - not only for individual mobility in the passenger cars - particularly over long distances more importantly - however, for freight transport in the LKWas. Electrical carriers on the one hand are used increasingly in the local traffic.
