Three new Citaro Euro VI buses have been added by the public utility company of the City of Trier. Since the emissions from these buses are 80 percent lower compared to previous models, they have a significant contribution to the environment of the city. Since they save over eight percent of diesel fuel, they can reduce the fuel costs for the operator. Around 350 units that featured the Euro VI exhaust system were already delivered by Daimler Buses. The number of Setra and Mercedes-Benz-branded buses that use this environment-friendly exhaust treatment system is expected to exceed 1,700 units by the end of the year. A sophisticated exhaust treatment technology is… Continue Reading »

What’s the greenest, most eco-friendly truck right now? If you answered the Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace, then you’re right! The particular Euro VI-compliant commercial vehicle model was recently awarded with the ‘Green Truck 2013′ award, determined by Trucker and VerkehrsRundschau magazine editorial teams. The key criteria for the award include fuel consumption (test results for which were recorded by the aforementioned magazines) and CO2 emissions. Max payload and exhaust emission classification also factored into the rankings. The Actros 1851 GigaSpace’s fuel consumption was shown to be nearly one whole liter lower compared to the second-ranked commercial vehicle. The Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC) technology is seen as key to this result, as… Continue Reading »

In a recent media article, Mercedes-Benz referred to its new Euro VI-compliant heavy-duty truck line as the ‘A-Team’, which actually started in 2011. After continued refinements and constant development, the three truck models, the Actros, Antos, and Arocs (pictured), are now fully compliant with the emissions standard. That’s something that Daimler and Mercedes-Benz Trucks is counting on to further grow its Europe-leading 23 percent market share in 2012. Whether the ‘A-Team’ refers to the fact that the names of the trucks all start with an ‘A’ or to the fictional group of soldiers of fortune featured in a Mr. T-bannered TV series in the mid-80′s and in a 2010 film… Continue Reading »

Garmin-to-Supply-Mercedes-Benz-Navigation-Systems

Garmin, perhaps the leading name today when it comes to GPS technology, is set to supply Mercedes-Benz with the navigation systems to be used in its vehicles’ dashboards in the future. According to the Kansas-headquartered company, Garmin navigation devices are set to be integrated within the infotainment systems found in the German automaker’s cars. Since Garmin speaks of ‘seamless’ integration, it should be obvious that we won’t see a separate Garmin navigation interface. Instead, the navigation system might be integrated into the COMAND interface. That’s bound to be more beneficial for drivers and it should make the system much more accessible from a usability standpoint. This way, it should offer a… Continue Reading »
