Mercedes Benz’s BlueTEC is simply diesel reinvented for the modern world; and who better to have reinventing diesel engines than the inventors of the diesel car itself.

Not too long ago diesel engines were often viewed as noisy, dirty, and slow to start. In the past luxury vehicles were not meant to have economy minded 4 cylinder engines, they were expected to have sporty V6, V8, even V12 engine. Thanks to Mercedes’ latest BlueTEC technology diesel has been completely reinvented for the modern world. All Mercedes’ models that utilize BlueTEC are clean, quiet, and incredibly smooth when driving.

BlueTEC unlocks the full potential that diesel has to offer, giving drivers 20 to 30 percent better fuel economy than gasoline engines. The design behind BlueTEC diesel engines is simply a vehicle with stronger torque. BlueTEC uses high compression to ignite the fuel rather than spark plugs commonly used in gasoline engines. Because BlueTEC reinvented and maximized the high compression ignition system diesel engines now run with more power across greater distances. Today’s modern technology allows the high compression ...
... to combine with Commonrail Direct Injection (CDI) technology. This breakthrough combination creates a liquid fuel that Mercedes calls AdBlue. When injected into the exhaust, AdBlue converts the nitrogen oxide emissions into harmless nitrogen and oxygen. BlueTEC models are able to utilize ultralow-sulfur fuels (now the standard nationwide) or B5 Biodiesel.

Diesel is currently the most preferred choice in the majority of countries all across Europe simply because of its stronger built to last torque and higher fuel efficiency. With BlueTEC Americans now have the chance to experience first-hand the power of diesel engines, and not just any diesel engine, but one of the most advanced diesel systems in the world crafted and reimagined from the company that coined the diesel engine back in 1936. Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC harnesses the latest diesel technology and puts it in into modern luxury vehicles. Diesel is no longer reserved for older cars and work trucks; the technology is here today for luxury cars and SUV’s thanks to the power of BlueTEC by Mercedes.

BlueTEC cars are made for the future. Mercedes BlueTEC cars were the first vehicles to meet the new criteria for Euro VI vehicles. As it stand BlueTEC ranks #1 in CO2 emissions out of any luxury vehicle. Currently buyers interested in purchasing a BlueTEC vehicle will be able to do so through their local Mercedes-Benz dealer. BlueTEC is currently available the S, M, GL, and GLK class Mercedes models.
