Chancellor Angela Merkel and Dieter Zetsche will give the symbolic launch of the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell World Drive. Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg and David Coulthard will drive for the three vehicles on the stage. On Sunday, the tour through 14 countries around the world even to the point of Stuttgart.
Mercedes-Benz wants to make the F-Cell World Drive the technical maturity of the fuel cell technology to the test and give the same time the political requirement to build a nationwide infrastructure for refueling fuel cell vehicles emphasis. At a distance of 30 000 km, the three Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell demonstrate that they are reliable and safe over long distances, on different road conditions and under various climatic conditions on the road.
First, it goes through Paris, Barcelona and Madrid, to the Portuguese capital Lisbon. There, leave the cars on European soil, and set its journey by plane in the eastern United States. Fort Lauderdale, Florida from the route along the Gulf of Mexico, west to California to Los Angeles. Along the western coast of the USA it is all about the Canadian Vancouver.
In Vancouver, the vehicles leave North America to continue her tour in the east of Australia. From Sydney, the F-Cell will travel along the south coast more than 5000 kilometers to Perth. The last transfer between continents in the world will eventually travel to the Asian continent, according to Shanghai in China.
Beijing to Moscow on the fuel cell vehicles to cross the Eurasian continent over a distance of more than 10 000 kilometers. In the final stages, the route back through the north of Europe from St. Petersburg in Russia via Stockholm and Oslo from Denmark to Germany. After 70 days on the driving insgesamt125-day trip, the journey ends back in early June in Stuttgart.
At more than 20 days will be held at various stations along the route local activities, offer the opportunity for an intensive exchange on electric mobility. The policy, as well as partner of the Stuttgart-based manufacturer involved in this program. Thus, the participants will pay the Tour including the mobility project car2go in Austin, Texas to visit.
Austin was the first non-European city that has taken the innovative mobility concept. It is there almost as successful as the model in Ulm. The new Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell of the World Drive is the first of series-produced fuel cell electric vehicle driving. 2010, the first of around 200 vehicles were delivered to customers in Europe and the USA.
The heart of the B-Class F-Cell is a new generation of electric propulsion with fuel cells that are compact, efficient, safe and fully in everyday life. The fuel cell generates electricity on board the vehicle, with no harmful emissions, but occurs only pure water. The main drive components are protected and saves space in the sandwich floor, so that interior and trunk are fully usable.
For fun and dynamics at the level of a 2.0-liter gasoline engine provides the 100 kW / 136 hp electric motor, a torque of 290 Newton meters. developed. To be producing the B-Class F-Cell a NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), the equivalent of only 3.3 liters of fuel (diesel equivalent) per 100 kilometers.
The technical basis of the drive for the B-Class F-Cell is the optimized fuel cell system of the latest generation. It is about 40 percent smaller than the system in the A-Class F-Cell in 2004, it develops 30 percent more performance at 30 percent less fuel. "125 years after the invention of the automobile is the B-Class F-Cell with us on behalf of its reinvention," said Dr.
Dieter Zetsche, CEO of Daimler AG, the importance of the fuel cell vehicle. Electric vehicles with fuel cell combines the advantage of high coverage with a short filling time. They can therefore afford not only in metropolitan areas contributing to a zero-emission mobility, but also on long journeys.
In addition, fuel cells can also be used in other vehicle types. This potential Mercedes-Benz has recognized early, and in 1994 introduced the Necar 1, the first vehicle with fuel cells. "Only with a needs-based hydrogen filling station network, this form of electric vehicles to be implemented nationwide," said Dr.
Thomas Weber, Daimler Board of Management responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars. "We have our homework done. The B-Class F-Cell is an impressive level of contribution of electric vehicles with fuel cells for future mobility today" On the road to sustainable mobility Daimler runs several lanes: The three main development priorities are to optimize of vehicles with internal combustion engines to increase efficiency through customized and need-based hybridization and emission-free electric vehicles.
The company is aware analysis on several concepts for the electrical mobility. Thus, the vehicle battery is being developed as an emission-free solution for urban traffic, while vehicles with fuel cells are suitable for the longer distance travel. The B-Class F-Cell, the A-Class E-Cell, the Smart Fortwo electric drive and the Vito E-Cell, the company may have four production-ready, emission-free vehicles.
Quickly and at low cost development for series production, Mercedes-Benz of its modular E-Drive system module using. This modular concept allows to use a high proportion of common parts for various electric vehicles. For modularization are all essential components of electric vehicles: the electric motor and the transmission of the battery and the high-voltage safety concept to high-voltage wiring and software modules.
F-Cell vehicles, specific components that use, for example, stacks and hydrogen tanks, the same for all different vehicles. Exclusive partner in the F-Cell World Drive is the Linde Group, which ensures its hydrogen know-how and global presence during the entire trip around the world supply of hydrogen.
A jointly developed mobile refueling unit based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter accompanied the tour, allowing the fuel supply on remote stretches of road. Not only with the F-Cell World Drive Daimler and Linde are working together to meet in coming years, the increasing hydrogen demand of an increasing number of fuel cell vehicles.
So both companies are involved since 2009 in cooperation with major energy companies, large companies in the oil industry and other partners in the initiative "H2-Mobility" for the comprehensive development of a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany.
