Mercedes-Benz GLC F-CELL Presentation at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2017

Mercedes-Benz is presenting preproduction models of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC F CELL as the next milestone on the road to emission-free driving. Under the technology designation EQ Power, the latest electric model (destined for subsequent series production) from the Mercedes-Benz family is doubly electrifying, for, in a world first, it is set to combine innovative fuel-cell and battery technology in the form of a plug-in hybrid: in addition to hydrogen, the all-electric variant of the popular SUV will also run on electricity. Intelligent interplay between battery and fuel cell, along with short refuelling times, will in future make the GLC F CELL a vehicle of high everyday practicality and also suitable for long-distance motoring. With 4.4 kg of hydrogen on board, the preproduction model produces enough energy for a range of up to 437 km in the NEDC. F-CELL drivers will also benefit from a range of up to 49 km in the NEDC thanks to the large lithium-ion battery. An output of 147 kW guarantees both dynamic performance and locally zero emissions driving pleasure.

“The GLC F-CELL shows how well-suited the combination of a battery and fuel cell is for everyday use. The benefits of the fuel cell are compelling: long range, short refuelling times and all that comes out of the “exhaust” is water. We have no doubt that this technology has a future. Wherever the necessary infrastructure exists,” says Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.
