NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CCM News, a provider of premium editorial videos for websites, newspapers, magazines, web portals and international broadcast, has partnered with Mercedes-Benz to produce the online video and global broadcast coverage of the Mercedes-Benz F-CELL World Drive 2011.  Beginning at the end of January, Mercedes and CCM News producers will drive three B-Class F-Cell models around the world.

CCM News producers will be en route with the vehicles for the duration of the tour documenting its progress. Circling the world in an emission free vehicle allows CCM News and its producers to garner the most current, relevant, and compelling green stories from around the world. Those stories as well as the Fuel Cell World Drive will be featured in one of the first ever syndicated online news magazines, entitled Eco Trek.

Each week, CCM News will make Eco Trek available to a select number of websites, blogs and aggregated news sites. Webmasters and producers interested in publishing Eco Trek episodes, should contact CCM directly.

For independent editorial reporting about the Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell World Drive, CCM News will make available video content to broadcasters and websites via download.  CCM News will offer as well B-Roll News packages as voiced over news stories, featuring the Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell World Drive and stories about sustainable energy solutions. These content packages will be available free of charge for editorial use of broadcasters, Internet news sites, and relevant websites on a regular basis.  Producers can subscribe to a regular news letter by sending an e-mail to [email protected]

The Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell Drive is an unparalleled long-distance journey that will take the fuel cell vehicles through 14 countries. Starting in southern Europe, the cars will drive through France, Spain and Portugal. They'll then continue on to North America, where they will drive through both the USA as well as Canada. After crossing Australia the vehicles will travel on to Asia. From China, they will pass through Kazakhstan, Russia and finally northern Europe. The 125-day round-the-world tour will return to Stuttgart in early June.
