Mercedes-Benz will start selling a plug-in fuel-cell version of its GLC compact crossover from 2017.
The model’s fuel-cell stack was developed in Vancouver with a Ford joint venture. The automakers managed shrink the size of its fuel-cell stack by about 30 percent so that fits within “conventional engine compartments.” More importantly, the stack uses 90 percent less platinum.
