Sometimes ignoring the trends is a good thing.\u00a0 Warren Buffet, known as much for his 1977\u00a0hit “Margaritaville” as for his vast personal fortune and professional success as the long time\u00a0head of Mutual of Omaha, has stated many times that one of his\u00a0top rules as an investor is to always act the part of the contrarian.\u00a0 Don’t buy into something because it is hot, but rather\u00a0invest in something that\u00a0is still in its infancy, yet has a great deal of potential.<\/p>\n

This is what Mercedes Benz\u00a0is doing with its unveiling of the F125\u00a0concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show.\u00a0 Appearing somewhat like a sleek and well designed mix of vintage art deco 1930s sedan combined with an updated DeLorean (complete with gullwing doors), the high concept concept vehicle is specifically intended as a model for a future hydrogen powered luxury car.<\/p>\n

Hydrogen, the most abundant source of energy on earth, is difficult and costly to prepare for harnessed\u00a0use.\u00a0 Yet, given the current state of affairs concerning oil and some of the projected limitations of hybrid and electric technology, it seems like the most obvious area for the auto industry to begin investing serious research and development into.\u00a0 Warren Buffet, and his parrot, I am sure would agree.<\/p>\n

Mercedes believes that vehicles based upon the F125 concept\u00a0will be capable of ranging 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) or more between fill-ups of hydrogen, which would be pumped through fuel cells to produce the energy that would turn electric drive motors at each wheel. This would be supplemented by a plug-in hybrid system, with lightweight lithium-sulfur batteries capable of giving the F125 50 km (31 miles) of purely electric range. Semi-autonomous telematics systems would help take over some of the driving duties from humans: changing lanes, passing other cars and crawling unassisted through heavy traffic.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model\u00a0Mercedes Benz\u00a0at any Phoenix Valley Mercedes Benz dealer.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations from cutting edge design outfit like those found under the Mercedes Benz umbrella, as well as the rest of the auto industry, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes ignoring the trends is a good thing.\u00a0 Warren Buffet, known as much for his 1977\u00a0hit “Margaritaville” as…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[12],"class_list":{"0":"post-1732","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-auto-news","8":"tag-featured","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nMercedes says Hydrogen is the Bomb<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mercedes Benz F125 Hydrogen Concept Frankfurt Motor Show Alternative Fuel Eco Nuclear Atomic Gullwing Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/mercedes-says-hydrogen-is-the-bomb\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mercedes says Hydrogen is the Bomb\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Mercedes Benz F125 Hydrogen Concept Frankfurt Motor Show Alternative Fuel Eco Nuclear Atomic Gullwing Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/mercedes-says-hydrogen-is-the-bomb\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
