ECO Start Stop tech now on the S 350 BlueTEC

by (RSS feed) April 12th, 2011 at 7:44 am

mercedes s 350 bluetec now comes with eco start stop 34055 1 597x373 ECO Start Stop tech now on the S 350 BlueTEC According to latest news from Mercedes-Benz, the S350 BlueTEC will now be equipped with ECO Start Stop technology as a standard feature. Owners will also be delighted to hear that the model line will also be a lot more efficient and emit even less emissions than its predecessor.

Underneath the hood lies a 3.0 liter six pot engine that runs on diesel. It is capable of churning out 258 hp and 620 Nm of torque to the rear wheels. What’s really amazing is that it runs 100km on every 6.2 liters of fuel. Now, it’s worth mentioning that without the upgraded fuel system, this engine will be registering a 34.6 US mpg fuel economy, which roughly translates to travelling 100 km for every 6.8 liters of fuel.

The engine is built around the BlueTEC system which, coupled with AdBlue exhaust treatment, makes the S 350 compliant to Euro VI emission standards. Numbers acquired from emissions testing are 164 grams of CO2 produced per kilometer of road travelled. That is a huge improvement from the previous engine configuration which rated at 177 grams per kilometer of driving.

The new engine is also a lot lighter than its predecessor, using TWAS or twin-wire-arc-sprayed coating technology which brings down weight by as much as 4.3kg. Efficiency improvement has been pegged at 3 percent from the old version of the engine. Long story short, ECO Start Stop technology right now is the icing on the cake.

BRABUS s350BlueTEC 597x396 BRABUS Releases First Tuned Car that Complies with Euro 6 Emissions Standard

Give it to BRABUS for always reinventing themselves. The German Mercedes-Benz tuner has just released the first tuned car that passes the future Euro 6 emissions standard, which will come into force in September 2014. That just means BRABUS is nearly four years advanced for the kind of eco-friendly vehicle the EU wants. The vehicle in question? The new Mercedes-Benz S 350 BlueTEC bundled with the tuner’s ECO PowerXtra D6S kit.

Aside from being clean and green, the BRABUS S 350 also gets additional power and torque thanks to the performance kit. Power is up by 55 horsepower and torque now reaches peaks of 509 lb.-ft. Prospective buyers can also opt for special versions of the performance kit, which is available for the four different E 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY body styles as well as the new CLS 350 CDI BlueEfficiency variant.

Upon Euro 6 certification, it was found that the BRABUS S 350 was actually 30 percent below the limits under the future emissions standard. That is really an amazing feat, considering buyers will still get improved performance out of the car while staying within the emissions parameters set by the government.
