Market future of fuel cell cars


 Hello everybody, today we're publishing what we think is an important step forward in the world of fuel cell and is that Mercedes Benz has finally announced their new B-class fuel cell car as you can see in the official website http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/benz/green. It's characteristics equivalent to a standar family car with a range of up to 240 miles, the equivalent of nearly 90 highway mpg, and only water vapor as its emissions. However is still not competitive with the other cars, the ones with internal combustion engine, because of its price. Although responsibles say that te price is not specified yet  the speculated price in TV programs such as Top Gear  is very high and people who can afford such a price for a car prefer a more powerful gasoline car. But the B-class won´t be at market officialy until 2014 ans as Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board of management of Daimler and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, has said in  (http://www.insideline.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-benz-fuel-cell-car-ready-for-market-in-2014.html), they want to make prices more competitive so we don't loose our hope. In the video below appears the previously mentioned Dieter Zetsche presenting the car in the Detroit auto show.

This is an important bet for the future of fuel cell in market and, as we support this energy source, best luck and wishes to Mercedes-Benz in the development of this car.
