Mercedes 'Zero Emission' Engine Reportedly Ready for Prime Time
Tesla's Elon Musk doesn't think hydrogen is suitable for powering automobiles, but Mercedes-Benz is ready to start selling its fuel cell cars to the public as early as 2017.
Published: 19-Apr-2014

In a 1992 prototype, the fuel cell takes up the entire cargo area of a delivery van. Across the room, today's model — now merely the size of an average television set — is displayed in front of a neon-lit outline of a compact passenger car.
This “zero emission” engine, it appears, is ready for prime time.
