With fuel consumption of just 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC) and emissions of 88 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre the new smart fortwo cdi is the most economical production car worldwide. A full tank of fuel costs around €38.00* and 33 litres of fuel will take the 33 kW/45 bhp two-door car approximately 1,000 kilometres – for example theoretically from central Berlin to the outskirts of Paris without refuelling. With an annual mileage of 15,000 kilometres drivers of a new smart fortwo cdi would only have to refuel 15 times a year. In other words: the smart fortwo cdi is the right small car at the right time.

This is amazing!

The last C-Class station wagon of the 203 series rolled off the assembly line at the DaimlerChrysler plant in Bremen on Thursday, marking a major milestone in the success story of the Mercedes Benz C-Class.

The last vehicle produced at the plant, a black C230 Kompressor equipped with right-hand drive, will go to a customer in England.

The director of the Bremen plant, Rainer Genes, is satisfied with the work that’s been accomplished. “The Bremen plant is the only one in the Mercedes Car Group production network that makes C-Class station wagons,” he says. “I’m proud of the Bremen team, who have made a major contribution to this success story. Their know-how and dedication have put the ‘Made in Bremen’ label on every C-Class station wagon in the world.”
