If you were having trouble wrapping your head around the idea of electric vehicles, this might take a moment or two to process. Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to roll out the world’s first production Plug-In Electric Fuel-Cell Vehicle, which runs on electricity AND hydrogen. The GLC F-Cell prototype is equipped with a plug-in 9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack in the rear of the crossover, along with a hydrogen fuel-cell stack that sits in the floor. Both help power the motor up front. There are two big advancements to note with the upcoming GLC F-Cell. First, Mercedes’ parent company Daimler worked with Ford to shrink the size of its fuel-cell stack by about 30 percent so it would fit within “conventional engine compartments.” Two carbon-fibre-encased tanks built into the vehicle floor hold around 4 kg of hydrogen. (Refilling at a hydrogen station, by the way, should take about three minutes.) Secondly, research teams reduced the amount of platinum used in the stack by 90-percent which makes it cheaper to build. The GLC F-Cell will provide about a 310-mile range combined and an all-electric 30-mile range. Mercedes already touts that between its B-Class F-CELL and the Citaro Fuel CELL-Hybrid urban, it’s collectively racked up more than 7.46 million miles on fuel-cell power. The B-Class F-Cell was the first electric fuel-cell vehicle from Mercedes-Benz to be built under series-production conditions. But it wasn’t a plug-in. The battery simply stored braking energy. Actress Diane Kruger helped get the word out about the early technology in 2012. At that point, Mercedes’ F-CELL technology had a 200-240-mile range before refueling. While there is no official pricing yet, reports late last year suggested the GLC F-Cell might cost double of the conventional GLC, so that would put it in the $75,000 ballpark. Daimler will roll out the next-generation fuel-cell technology next year on the Mercedes GLC F-Cell, with more vehicles to follow.

Vijest dolazi nekoliko mjeseci nakon najave Mercedesa kako će tijekom ove godine predstaviti koncept, a zatim u rekordnom roku i serijski model pokretan gorivim ćelijama. Kao što mu ime govori, GLC F-Cell se zasniva na standardnom SUV modelu, a osnovna razlika tiče se pogona. Sustav gorivih ćelija razvijen je u suradnji sa Fordom, a bit će prvi u svijetu sustav koji zahvaljujući Li-Ion baterijama (9 kWh) omogućuje električnu autonomiju (plug-in), i to od oko 50 km. Prema trenutnim podacima gorive ćelije s jednim punjenjem vodika osiguravaju autonomiju od čak 500 km. Električnom energijom napajaju baterije, ali i pogonski elektromotor koji pokreće stražnju osovinu. Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa Ovdje vrijedi reći kako jedno punjenje znači oko 4,3 kilograma vodika pohranjenog u dva cilindrična spremnika pod tlakom od 700 bara. Za punjenje je potrebno oko tri minute. Mercedes GLC F-Cell na tržište dolazi tijekom iduće godine, a u prvoj faci nudit će se u Njemačkoj, SAD-u i Japanu.
