Darien Mercedes-Benz S550 customers can follow F-Cell around the world

It will take a bit longer than 80 days 125 to be exact, but Mercedes-Benz is planning a trip around the world nonetheless. No hot air balloon for this company they are touring the new B-Class F-Cell hybrid and dealers like your Darien Mercedes-Benz S550 couldn't be more pleased.

The journey will begin on January 30 and span 14 countries on four continents, including the southern edge of the United States and up through Los Angeles to Vancouver. Westport used Mercedes-Benz E350 buyers will want to get a look at this hybrid.

The purpose of this tour is to show the "technical maturity of the B-Class F-Cell" and educate consumers and those in industry about the need for global hydrogen filling stations, or a network of them. Mercedes has that covered for the F-Cell, though. "On remote routes a tank vehicle will be on hand to supply the fuel cell vehicles with the necessary hydrogen," the company stated.

The B-Class F-Cell is currently being test-driven in California. A fleet of 70 of the hydrogen-electric cars will provide feedback to Mercedes-Benz and their drivers will share experiences as well. This program began in December and Darien Mercedes-Benz S550 customers will want to check in on the findings to see if the F-Cell is a vehicle that fits their lifestyle.

The F-Cell is powered by an on-board hydrogen fuel cell stack which generated energy and stores it in a lithium-ion battery pack. The electric motor has 134 horsepower and provides a range of 240-250 miles; quite impressive compared to the traditional battery-powered electric vehicles whose ranges don't even touch 100 miles under electric power.
