Posted 27th September, 2006 in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Mercedes will offer diesel-powered editions of its M, R and GL Class vehicles by 2008 that will meet the EPA’s stringent new Bin5 emissions standards in all 50 states.
The SUVs are to be assembled in Alabama and will feature the automaker’s new Bluetec clean-diesel technology. One of the processes that Mercedes will introduce is a urea-injection system that it says will help reduce nitrogen-oxide emissions by up to 80 percent.
This Autumn, Mercedes will launch the E320 Bluetec saloon, fitted with a Bluetec 3.0L V6 turbodiesel, which it says is the only diesel in the U.S. market certified to meet the EPA’s Bin8 standards.
