Hydrogen Power in the F125 Concept Car




Months after the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell World Drive, the company is still evidently promoting the F-cell technology.

At the Frankfurt Auto Show, the F125 concept car will be driven by the hydrogen cell technology. Aside from that, the vehicle will have gullwing doors reminiscent of the SLS supercar. It will also have four electric motors that can produce 230 horsepower. The car can hit 0-60mph because of the electric motor too.




The hydrogen fuel cell can run up to 620 miles, and in case you're caught up in a place where there's no hydrogen refueling station, you need not worry because the cars have a battery reserve that can drive you another 30 miles.

Although it will make its first appearance at the Frankfurt Auto Show, there's still no word yet on when this car will be on the production line. Stay tuned for more news in the mean time.

Stuttgart Airport's Follow Me Vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz B-Class


Yes, the Stuttgart Airport 'employed' the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell model as the “follow me” car for the planes taxiing the runways.

The airport and the company really prepared for this project as the set-up dedicated hydrogen refueling stations in the airport so even if the F-Cell only has a range of 400KM, getting it pumped is not a problem.

The car is a very environment-friendly vehicle as its 136HP electric motor is run by a hydro/oxygen chemical, this in turn create a byproduct which is water.

“As you can see, we are keeping up with the latest technological developments in ground-based drive systems.” said States Walter Schoefer, MD of airport manager Flughafen Stuttgart. This is a great start as other businesses can also see the value of having this Earth-friendly car, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell.
