Mercedes-Benz gorivne celice avtomobilov, pobota po vsem svetu

[Road&Track]

Mercedes-Benz potekala veliko zabavo v Stuttgartu čez vikend praznovala 125th rojstni dan motor avtomobila, ali vsaj ko Carl Benz pila njegov patent.

V sklopu praznovanja, Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg in David Coulthard, Mercedes-Benz Formule Ena zvezde, odpeljal tri Mercedes-Benz B-Razred F-CELL avtomobilov na odru na Daimlers sedežu. Te tri proizvodnjo avtomobilov, nato levo Stuttgart včeraj za vožnjo po vsem svetu. Se bo čez štirih kontinentih in prečkanje 14 držav v 125 dni.

Kasneje ta teden tri avtomobile, ki prispejo z letalom na Floridi, kjer so bo mogoče voziti po vsej ZDA preko Miami, New Orleans, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Salem, Seattle in Vancouver preden se zrak freighted v Sydney, kjer bo prečkala Avstralija pred nadaljevanjem na Kitajskem.

Preletnih Mercedes-Benz načrtih dokazati sposobnost preživetja gorivne celice avtomobilov vladam in drugim zainteresiranim strankam. Mercedes-Benz trdi, B-razreda F-CELL avtomobilov lahko potujejo približno 250 kilometrov s polno obremenitvijo vodika. To naredi veliko bolj praktične za daljša potovanja kot električni avto z tradicionalno baterije. Vendar, v sedanji Mercedes-Benz pravi so le okoli 200 vodik kurivo postaje na svetu. Seveda tam bo treba več tisoč več pred gorivne celice avto je praktično za redno folk kot ti in jaz, vsaj brez podpore posadke.

Mercedes-Benz held a big party in Stuttgart over the weekend to celebrate the 125th birthday of the motor car, or at least when Carl Benz filed his patent.

As part of the celebrations, Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg and David Coulthard, the Mercedes-Benz Formula One stars, drove three Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL cars onto a stage at Daimlers headquarters. These three production cars then left Stuttgart yesterday for a drive around the world. They will cross four continents and traverse 14 countries in 125 days.

Later this week the three cars arrive by plane in Florida where they will be driven across the USA via Miami, New Orleans, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Salem, Seattle and Vancouver before being air freighted to Sydney, where they will traverse Australia before proceeding on to China.

En route Mercedes-Benz plans to demonstrate the viability of fuel cell cars to governments and other interested parties. Mercedes-Benz claims a B-Class F-CELL car can travel about 250 miles with a full load of hydrogen. This makes it much more practical for longer journeys than an electric car with traditional batteries. However, at present Mercedes-Benz says there are only around 200 hydrogen-fueling stations in the world. Obviously there will have to be many thousands more before a fuel-cell car is practical for regular folk like you and I, at least without a support crew.
