Mercedes-Benz has officially revealed that they will be offering a fuel cell version of their popular GLC model in 2017. During the company's "Rad to the Future" event recently held in Stuttgart, Germany, they even debuted a prototype of the upcoming vehicle, which is pictured above.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC F-Cell will be unlike any other fuel cell on the market when it debuts in 2017. The car will be the first production fuel cell model to receive a reusable electric range, offering 30 miles of pure electric driving. A variety of plug-in capabilities designed to charge the lithium-ion battery pack are just a few of the components that will back the F-Cell's offerings. A fuel-cell stack will also be outfitted on the vehicle that sends power to an electric motor that in turn gets the rear wheels moving.
In addition to the fuel-cell stack, the hydrogen-powered car will come with two carbon-fiber tanks, offering a 4.3 kg storage capacity, which will take just three minutes to refill. These tanks will support the GLC's 310-mile driving range - a number that is sure to impress car buyers.
When the Mercedes-Benz GLC F-Cell goes on sale in the U.S. in 2017, be sure to contact us at Elite Automotive Group. We hope to have the future model in stock and look forward to its arrival.
