Marcedes-Benz has announced that by 2015, the company's lineup will include a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell car, effectively leapfroging the current influx of EVs with technology many think is the endgame for automobile propulsion. (This is despite questions regarding the generation of hydrogen fuel, most of which now comes from natural gas). With EVs barely out of the gate, we were thinking, hydrogen-already? But after driving Benz's latest pilot-program fuel cell car, the F-Cell, we believe the aggressive production schedule may be on target. The-F-Cell is really an electric-hydrogen hybrid:A 136-hp electric motor fed by a small 1.4-kwh lithium-ion battery that picks up the slack for sometimes sluggish response of the fue; cell. Most of the power components are packaged in the car's floor, saving space. At 2 tons, the car is heavy for its size. But the F-Cell is quiet and refined, and its passage from one place to another is similiar to that of a gas-powered car-with the notable exception that it produces only water as a byproduct. At this point, the main thing holding back fuel-cell cars is the scant hydrogen infrastructure.
