Mercedes-Benz: Innovating Technologies Working to Bring Fuel-Cell Cars to the Market
MONTVALE, N.J. – Mercedes-Benz is leading the way in innovating technologies, and part of its
process is a detailed testing schedule. From the development of a concept
through to it becoming a reality, the Mercedes-Benz team looks at many
different areas to make sure the vehicles are the safest on the road, according
to www.fuelcellsworks.com.
Mercedes-Benz
has been testing the new B-Class F-Cell in Sweden, a project that involves
many different parties, not just engineers. Running on electric motors, the
F-Cell is pioneering innovative drive technologies and offers power of 320Nm.
As the test drivers run through the new technologies, the data is fed into a
black box and back to analysts in a studio.
“It’s a
bit like the technology used in Formula One racing,” said Jurgen Friedrich, the
man in charge of operation and service for the F-Cell test fleet.
