A greener and much anticipated diesel-electric car from Mercedes is expected to hit showrooms this Autumn. To help address fuel consumption issues and savings, the said Mercedes M-Class is expected to address the carbon-emission issues which are set under 300 gm/km.
The M-Class hybrid mates the familiar 3.2-litre, low-emission Blue Tec diesel engine to a 4×4 transmission incorporating twin electric motors. Mercedes says the combination will cut fuel consumption by 30 per cent compared to the standard model.
Mercedes and BMW have developed the technology together with General Motors and Chrysler. News of the upcoming M-Class hybrid first broke nearly four years ago and Mercedes-Benz has been promising its imminent arrival since the 2007 Frankfurt car show.
