Mercedes will return to the hydrogen fuel cell game.
The German auto giant has just announced
Frankfurt International Auto show to start selling glc f-Cell in the U. S. by late 2019.
The hybrid SUV is called "the world's first fuel electric vehicle"
The new F-says: "Battery/battery power system
There will be a whole cell
The battery range is 30 miles and the hybrid range is 271 miles.
Together with many automakers, the German company expects more stringent emissions standards in Europe in the future, which are shifting from diesel and gasoline engines to alternative fuel machines.
Last week, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover announced plans to join Volvo to increase production of electric vehicles. Volkswagen and Ford automakers say they expect the production of internal combustion engines to end.
Recent reports say the Chinese government plans to ban sales of all gasoline, the world's fastest-growing auto marketand diesel-

The two power supplies will drive an electric motor capable of generating a 147 thrust, Mercedes said. The F-
Before tapping the stored hydrogen for a larger range, the Cell will be able to drive 30 miles separately using battery power.
The car will have a horsepower of 197 and a weight of 258.
Mercedes says the torque reaches 99 miles per hour and runs at a limited maximum speed of electronics.
The electric battery will be able to get full charging in about 1 minute. 5 hours.
The driving mode will allow the operator to run the car only in hydrogen, battery only, or mixed mode-
Among other things, make it possible for the hydrogen side to charge the battery side.
The battery can also be charged like a traditional plug

They are popular among a small but passionate driver as they run silently, do not produce toxic gas emissions, and can refuel in three to five minutes, like gasoline --powered cars.
But sales and leasing of these cars have been slow, in part because of the continued scarcity of hydrogen fuel stations.
Not all observers applaud.
Karl brawer, a senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book, praised Mersey's efforts to develop more alternative fuel vehicles, saying that the world
"Hydrogen fuel cell cars are too expensive and have too limited functions," Brewer said . ".
"They are still unable to compete, mainly because there are not enough stations.
