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.
