Cover:
Mercedes-Benz showed the way ahead in environmentally responsible electro-mobility in January 2009 by presenting
its near-series Concept BlueZERO at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Based on a single vehicle
architecture, this intelligent, modular concept allows three models with different drive configurations, all of which are
able to meet customer requirements in terms of sustainable mobility: the BlueZERO E-CELL with battery-electric drive,
the BlueZERO F-CELL with fuel cell, the BlueZERO E-CELL PLUS with electric drive and additional internal combustion
engine as power generator.
