Mercedes BlueZERO Series

Even in hard financial times such as these, some automakers can see the future and continue to develop hybrid autos with this in mind. Enter the Mercedes BlueZERO series of three models. The ECELL version is battery-electric and is the greenest of the three options rumoured to be able to travel 120 miles on a single charge. The FCELL will be hydrogen powered and will have a range of around 250 miles. Finally, The hybrid engined E-CELL PLUS should be able to hit 375 miles, but that's because the electric engine gets a boost from a small built-in gasoline-powered motor.

All three models were on display at last month's Detroit Autoshow.
