What is Mercedes F-CELL in California for DOE tech validation project about?

The German automaker intends to deploy 70 fuel cell vehicles by 2012, as a growing industry commitment to advanced technology vehicles and international collaboration to bring these technologies to fruition. This project will bring vehicles with the latest technology to US roads, and allow DOE to validate the technologies for ultimate market acceptance. DOE's 50/50 cost-shared project is validating fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen fueling stations under real-world operating conditions, and demonstrating advances in research. A total of 152 vehicles and 24 fueling stations have reported data to the DOE project, including vehicles from General Motors, Ford, and Hyundai-Kia, in addition to Mercedes-Benz. These vehicles have traveled more than 2.8 million miles in total, and have shown a durability of 2500 hours, equivalent to about 75 000 miles. Mercedes-Benz North America has been involved since 2005, and will continue to provide critical data to DOE from 20 of the new F-CELL cars. The second-generation Mercedes-Benz B-Class vehicles are designed to have a 270 mile (430 km) driving range, and take less than five minutes to refuel. The car is currently certified by the federal Environm
