1 / EN / Mercedes-Benz P. Cars/Concept Vehicles/F 600 HYGENIUS / F 600 HYGENIUS: premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show: Power, comfort and zero emissions: Mercedes-Benz presents new research vehicle with fuel cell drive /#XCID=73635 | XPID= | XCTY=2

		The F 600 HYGENIUS is the first research vehicle to incorporate a bodywork and design concept that has been purpose developed for the fuel cell. The drive technology, the high-voltage battery and the hydrogen tank have all been housed beneath the passenger cell, while the high-torque electric motor – which is also a new development – has been integrated into the rear-axle carrier.

		Powered by a zero-emission fuel cell drive with an output of 85 kW/115 hp, the F 600 HYGENIUS consumes the equivalent of 2.9 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres, making it the first fuel cell vehicle to cover over 400 kilometres on a single tank of hydrogen.

		The F 600 HYGENIUS is also an ideal family car. This is demonstrated by the child and family-friendly design of the seats, for example: the front passenger seat and the individual seats in the rear incorporate a new technology allowing the backrest to be used either way around. The backrests can be swung forwards and reversed in such a way that ISOFIX child seats can be secured to the seat cushions in a rearwards-facing position.

		F 600 HYGENIUS: Mercedes-Benz has devised a revolutionary new seat for the driver featuring a two-piece backrest cushion whose height, width and tilt can be adjusted to the contours of the occupant's body by means of electric motors, and which offers a particularly high level of support in the midriff area.

		F 600 HYGENIUS: In order to allow the vast multitude of functions to be operated quickly, intuitively and, most importantly, safely, the engineers at Mercedes have devised a ground-breaking operating concept which adapts itself to the driving tasks as they change. The aim of this new concept is to minimise driver distraction, which in turn benefits driving safety.
