| The increasingly stringent emissions requirements in the European Union are being accompanied in many European towns and cities by increasing concern about fine particle emissions. For example local driving bans are under discussion in some European cities for vehicles not labelled as low-pollutant. Also under consideration are emissions-based road tolls not just for motorways but also also for trunk roads.
BlueTec® achieves significant reductions in emissions which can thus result in toll savings and exemption from driving bans. There are other financial benefits for BlueTec® customers too: in many European countries you can expect tax breaks, and in various European municipalities BlueTec® counts in your favour when tendering for a public contract. |
| The advantages in everyday use |
| In long-distance haulage fuel consumption makes up the lion’s share of the lifecycle costs. Here too the benefits of BlueTec® are exceptional. Modified engines make such efficient use of the fuel that they not only produce a higher output (depending on the engine variant) but also consume significantly less fuel. BlueTec® gets top marks on servicing intervals too: the technology is robust and low on maintenance. The impressive engines installed in the new Actros deliver increased pulling power and efficiency. With potential fuel savings of up to 6%. |
| Europe’s legislation is becoming increasingly standardised, so demand for commercial vehicles that meet the new European emissions standards can only increase. With BlueTec®, you are investing in a technology that will have a good resale value even after several years. |
