Mercedes-Benz Delivers First F-CELL EV

F-CELL EV

 It has been one heavy week, with the Nissan LEAF and the Chevrolet Volt finding their way to the first owners. And another eco-friendly car has followed swiftly on their tracks: the B-Class F-CELL hydrogen-powered EV from Mercedes-Benz.
The automaker handed over the first F-CELL vehicles to California residents and Newport Beach resident Vance Van Petten was the one to get the keys to the first one. As he puts it, Mr. Petten, Executive Director of the Producers Guild of America, is a long-time environmental enthusiast and an advocate for sustainable production and environment-friendly transport. Taking over the first F-CELL at the recently renovated dealership of Fletcher Jones Mercedes-Benz in his hometown, Mr. Petten is part of a select group of people who have been selected to participate in a Mercedes-Benz lease program for the B-Class F-CELL.
