Stuttgart – Daimler has been offering its highly-efficient BlueTec diesel technology for commercial vehicles since early 2005 in Europe- and with great success. Since then, around 160,000 BlueTec commercial vehicles have taken to the streets, including Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks and Vario vans, as well as Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses. Over 90 percent of these vehicles already fulfill the Euro 5 emissions standard not due for introduction into Europe until autumn 2009.
Stuttgart – Fuel-efficient and environmentally-sustainable premium automobiles from Mercedes-Benz, without the need to forego the characteristic brand features- safety, comfort and refined driving pleasure. This is the strategy of the Stuttgart based vehicle manufacturer. One emphasis within the development strategy is on modular powertrain technologies that can be utilized either individually or in combination, depending upon vehicle class, usage profile and customer requirements.
The model that started it all for Mercedes-AMG, the classic 300 SEL 6.3, will be on
