This fuel-cell vehicle, from Mercedes-Benz is a hydrogen-electric hybrid which integrates a 35kw lithium-ion battery. This lithium-ion battery has the capacity to charge an electric motor. Mercedes claims that the F-Cell version of the B-Class is corresponding in performance to that of a 2.0-litre petrol car.
The electric motor generates 134bhp and 214lb-ft of torsion while a 1.8-litre petrol B180 Blue Efficiency SE gives off 114bhp and 114lb-ft of torsion. A range of about 250 miles delivering a corresponding fuel cutback of 86.6mpg on the collective cycle of the motor can be accepted.
The F-Cell B-Class’s lithium-ion battery allows for a back-up power to the electric motor allowing recovery of energy lost under halting. For the reason that the fuel cell is stacked away in the floor the F-Cell B-Class’s boot’s content of 416 liters is similar to that of a regular B-class.

Mercedes stated that: “The B-Class F-cell is taking on a pioneering role as the world’s first fuel cell powered automobile to be produced under series production conditions.”
