Mercedes-Benz to showcase hybrid, electric and fuel cell drives at IAA
21 August 2017
At the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) from 14 to 24 September 2017, Mercedes-Benz will showcase the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE sports car with Formula 1 hybrid drive technology; an electric concept car by the EQ brand in the compact car segment; and the GLC F‑CELL EQ Power, a pre-series model with fuel cell hybrid drive.
All in all, Mercedes-Benz Cars is exhibiting around 100 vehicles in Frankfurt, among them several world premières of innovative concept cars.
The Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is a near-series study of a hypercar; the series version will feature genuine Formula 1 hybrid technology.
A further Mercedes-Benz world première will be the first, fully electric EQ concept vehicle within the compact car segment.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC F‑CELL EQ Power combines practical advantages such as a long range (500 kilometers (311 iles) in the standard cycle) and short hydrogen fueling times with locally emission-free driving.
Also having their debut in Frankfurt are the comprehensively updated S‑Class Coupé and S‑Class Cabriolet in the standard and AMG versions and the Mercedes-Benz X‑Class pick-up.
Combo EV + with small FC as range extender, is a smart way to get year round 500+ Km range in areas with adverse weather?
Ratio of battery power to FC power could vary to meet customer needs. Batteries should be very quick charge type for maximum braking energy recovery.

Glad to see MB in the game, they should get back for reforming liquid fuels like NECAR.
