The Econic trucks reaps the benefits of today’s advanced diesel technology. The diesel power units from the 900 series, which are also used in the Axor and Atego, are cleaner than ever. The sustainability of the SCR (Selec­tive Catalytic Reduction) emission control technology is proven day after day by the regis­trations of new trucks already meeting the Euro 5 emissions standard that does not come into effect until 2009. These engines are suitable for biodiesel fuel too without the need for any modi­fications. Daimler does impose the condition, however, that the fuel is a “FAME” (fatty acid methyl ester) fuel that complies with DIN E 51606. Suitable engine oils must furthermore be used and the engine oil, oil filter and fuel filter replaced at much shorter intervals.

The Mercedes-Benz Econic does not just make the ideal municipal service vehicle. The well-conceived cab concept, with a completely flat floor on the frame’s lowered front section, as well as the low frame height in general of just 874 mm mean it is equally suited to fire service applications, use as an airport ground service vehicle, delivering beverages or fuel oil, tanker transport, or even operating underground.

Mercedes Electric Car and Electric Smart Car by 2010

Part of it’s Global warming is the intense used of carbon monoxide from other recreational vehicles but some engineers has brought wonderful to the whole consumers and the public with their newest designs. This car that can run on biofuels can still run on fossil fuels, so without a good supply of sustainable biofuels, that’s probably how they’re going to be used. But still, a step in the right direction. Their plan is to make their whole car lineup petroleum free in 7 years. To do that, they’re looking at battery electric cars, fuel cells, and more efficient combustion engines that can run on biofuels (lets hope that by then we have truly sustainable ethanol and biodiesel).

According to Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, Mercedes will have an electric car by 2010, as well as a an electric Smart (there’s already 100 Smart EVs being tested in London). But Zetsche also thinks that this is not the end of the line for the combustion engine, and that new developments in that field will overlap with electric drive technologies. Currently, MB has about 100 electric Smart cars driving around the streets of London. But those are more or less to see how the public reacts to them and to see how they hold up in real world conditions.

The speculation is over and the rumors are true. Mercedes-Benz is planning to launch an all-new electric model in 2010.
