F-Cell uses Powertrain combine two power sources, small capacity (1.4 kWh) battery and hydrogen fuel cells to work with a similar approach to conventional hybrids. From the stop, acceleration can only pagdederekta with battery, while the fuel cell kicks in about 7 mph to make the most of the work. Under hard acceleration, the electric motor can provide 100 kW (136 HP) front wheels, with 80 kW from the fuel cell and the remaining 20 kW provided by a battery.

From inside, the only indication of the fuel cells under a special gauge cluster with a large dial that shows the power. Navigation screen display also shows a lot of information including consumption and energy flow diagram.

Although this system is fully refined driving, Mercedes still has some improvements to build third-generation fuel cell system at this time they work for the year 2015. First of all, the company wants to triple the lifetime of the fuel cell engineering of fourteen years.

In 2015, Mercedes wants to have a full production program to sell fuel cell cars to customers illegally. In addition to fuel cell vehicles, including the production BlueZero family-combustion engine, range-extended electric and battery-electric vehicle architecture based on the same sandwich, but use a unique sheet metal.
