DaimlerChrysler has introduced its newest research vehicle, the F 600 HYGENIUS hydrogen fuel cell hybrid vehicle at the recent Tokyo Auto Show. This latest innovation on fuel cell technology is another milestone in the mission to create environmentally-friendly and technologically advanced vehicles. The F600 offers a fuel cell power train with a maximum power output of 85 kW (115hp) and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The fuel cell is 40% more compact than previous research vehicles and runs more efficiently than ever generating a constant power output of 60 kW (82hp) and 250 Nm torque.
The F600 HYGENIUS concept is a compact-class car with a family-friendly design consumes the equivalent of 2.9 liters of fuel per 100 km. It is just one of the long lines of fuel cell research vehicles which the company hopes to bring into the mainstream between 2010 and 2015. Fuel cells use the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate electrical power in a process that produces no emissions. The drive system is hybrid and selects the best power source depending on the driving situation. For example, when parking, the electric motor uses power from the battery alone while when accelerating the fuel cell and battery provides power to the motor.
The F600 HYGENIUS concept abounds with numerous innovations in its technology, design, versatility, comfort and safety devices. Cameras integrated into the housings of the exterior mirrors keep an eye on traffic to the side of and behind the vehicle even when parked. This ensures safety when parking and avoids blind spots when driving. The F600 HYGENIUS fuel cell can serve as a mobile power source and can serve several houses with its 66 kW of electrical power.
Inside, the F600 HYGENIUS offers a new level in comfort and versatility. Despite its compact size, the interiors are impressively spacious. Clever design solutions make the vehicle an excellent family-vehicle. It is equipped with child and family-friendly seats that incorporate new technology. Mercedes-Benz has also devised a revolutionary new seat for the driver that minimizes back strain.
The concept vehicle is also equipped with a virtual display for fast vision adjustment. The two mirrors divert images from the high-resolution color displays in the dashboard to a point 1.40 meters in front of the driver. This technology improves driver-fitness since the driver does not have to constantly adjust between close and long range. All lighting functions are provided by high-power light emitting diodes. This concept vehicle from DaimlerChrysler points the way towards the future of automobiles. These innovative features that the concept/research vehicle showcases now will become ordinary amenities in the cars of the future.
