About Mercedes-Benz Diesel

Mercedes-Benz currently offers four clean diesel models in the U.S. market, including the E320 BLUETEC, distinguished as the cleanest diesel vehicle in the world. The luxury brand recently announced plans to offer BLUETEC diesel-powered versions of its popular M-, R- and GL-Class sport- utility vehicles in the United States beginning in CY 2008. Delivering a perfect balance of power, fuel economy and range, the new BLUETEC SUVs are set to be the world's first diesel-powered vehicles to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's stringent BIN5 emissions standards for all 50 states.
