Mercedes-Benz BlueEFFICIENCY

BlueEFFICIENCY – Mercedes is quicker at getting future technologies to where it matters most: on the road. By the end of 2011, we will be able to offer you 128 Mercedes models with BlueEFFICIENCY technologies, all of which help you reduce your impact on the environment. Our BlueEFFICIENCY concept comprises innovations for efficient mobility as well as optimized processes all the way along the value chain.

The BlueEFFICIENCY measures– the Mercedes efficiency package. This package consists of comprehensive vehicle optimizations which ease the burden on the environment. Each model combines the most efficient engine with intelligent, latest-generation aerodynamic and energy-management measures. Such measures include the ECO start/stop function, which is being made available for an increasing number of models. The New BlueDIRECT V6 and V8 petrol engines, which feature in several model series, deliver a much higher power output while reducing fuel consumption by up to 24%.

BlueTEC – the clean diesel. A modular emission-control system makes BlueTEC an exceptionally clean diesel technology. As well as removing 95% of the particulate, it also reduces nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. What remains is mainly water and nitrogen.

HYBRID – petrol and electric drives intelligently combined. Here the electric motor can be used both for accelerating and for recuperating kinetic energy, which is stored in the battery. What’s more, the ECU shuts off the petrol engine when the speed is below 15km/h. IN this way, a HYBRID can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%.

BlueTEC HYBRID – clean diesel combined with electric drive. It marries the benefits of the HYBRID with those of BlueTEC: during braking, the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy, which can be re-used when required. At the same time, the BlueTEC technology cleans the exhaust gases and removes many of the pollutants. All of which makes the economical diesel powerplant even more efficient and clean. Innovative drive systems that break new ground: E-Cell and F-Sell. We have developed two locally emission-free drive systems, which have been produced on a small scale since 2010. The B-Class F-Cell uses hydrogen to produce power for the electric motor, while the A-Class E-Cell draws its energy directly from two lithium-ion batteries. But that is not all: under the banner “Design for Environment”, we also look at a vehicle’s entire lifecycle and work hard to preserve the environment from the planning stage right through to recycling. In addition, we are involved in the development of alternative fuels and carry out research in the field of bionics.
