Mercedes-Benz’ development of sustainable motoring is being shown through the commitment in constructing new emission friendly technologies, including smart cdi technology and BlueTEC engines.
The "Road to the Future" policy has seen the firm develop the DIESOTTO engine as well as the F 700 research vehicle and BlueTEC hybrid technologies could be a fuel saver of the future.
Clean diesel engines can represent the greatest fuel-saving technologies across a range of vehicles and the success of the E 320 BlueTEC in America has shown its potential.
In addition the firm is also leading the field in the development of fuel cell technologies, including the future production of the B-Class F-Cell which will feature fuel cell drive.
As consumers demand fuel efficiency and greener cars, Mercedes-Benz is also developing lithium-ion batteries to be used in battery powered and fuel cell vehicles.
In engines that you can buy today, Mercedes-Benz is offering CDI diesel engines that can be found in the new smart fortwo.
Drivers are able to travel from London to Edinburgh on a single tank of fuel in the new fortwo.
In addition, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and B-Class are using stop-start technology which allows drivers to use less fuel when driving through city traffic.
