Mercedes-Benz Hydrogen Electric Fuel Cell Vehicle
Actress Diane Kruger is one of more than 35 environmental enthusiasts and early adopters in California enjoying the benefits of the Mercedes-Benz hydrogen electric fuel cell vehicle, the B-Class F-CELL — the first zero-emissions vehicle available from Mercedes-Benz in the US. It was announced today, May 16.
Kruger, who stars in “Farewell, My Queen,” drives the B-Class F-CELL, which converts compressed hydrogen into electricity to deliver a range of up to 240 miles, and an average of 55 mpg equivalent while emitting only water vapor.

More than three dozen of the electric vehicles, powered by hydrogen fuel cells, are now available in Southern California and will be available in Northern California in June.
