Understanding the "F-Cell" fuel cell

The modern fuel-cell car runs on electric power generated from hydrogen with the help of fuel cells. Mercedes-Benz hydrogen-powered cars are forward-looking, as they generate neither CO2 emissions nor local emissions.
The GLC F-CELL combines the environmentally friendly fuel-cell drive with an additional lithium-ion battery that can be charged easily using plug-in technology. Long distances and quick refuelling times are therefore no problem for the SUV.

H2 filler neck

Thanks to the 700-bar tank technology, the GLC F-CELL replenishes the entire amount of hydrogen in three minutes at a hydrogen filling station.

The GLC F-CELL provides enough energy for a range of up to 430 km with one tankful[2]. F-CELL drivers will additionally benefit from a range of up to 51 km[2] covered by the lithium-ion battery.

Hydrogen tanks

Two tanks encased in carbon fibre, fitted in the vehicle floor, hold approx. 4.4 kg of hydrogen

Thanks to the 700-bar tank technology standardized worldwide, the hydrogen supply can be replenished within just three minutes This means that in terms of the time it takes, the refuelling procedure is no different from that of a car with an internal combustion engine.
