E-Class Saloon: environment

Concepts for the conservation of resources

BlueEFFICIENCY from Mercedes-Benz stands for pioneering efficiency technologies as well as innovative packages of measures based on optimising fuel consumption and emission levels.

BlueEFFICIENCY measures

The BlueEFFICIENCY measures are comprehensive vehicle optimisations which save fuel and ease the burden on the environment. The E-Class Saloon combines the most efficient engines with well-designed aerodynamic and energy management measures to keep fuel consumption to a minimum.

ECO start/stop function

The ECO start/stop function reduces fuel consumption and emissions by automatically switching off the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill (for example when in a traffic jam or at traffic lights).

Intelligent energy management

Significant savings can also come from a series of small contributions. With the aim of reducing the consumption of the E-Class Saloon, the Mercedes-Benz engineers examined all the main components with regard to their energy usage and found ways of getting them to work more economically.

Overview of efficient energy management measures:

  • On-demand control: the power steering pump is stepped down when only low pressure is required.
  • Efficient alternator management: the kinetic energy from braking and coasting is used to charge the battery.
  • More efficient fuel management: the pumping pressure of the fuel pump is based on the precise amount of fuel needed at the time.
  • Air conditioning only as required: if not required, the compressor is automatically decoupled from the engine??s belt drive.

Efficiency technologies in the E-Class

Direct injection, increased compression and turbocharging (for the V8 engines) in the engines deliver outstanding torque, output and noise reduction figures. Innovative engine technology has significantly reduced emissions and fuel consumption compared with previous models.

BlueTEC catalytic converter technology

BlueTEC catalytic converter technology uses the reactant AdBlue? to purify exhaust gases. This makes it possible to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90%. This exceptionally clean diesel technology is implemented in the E 350 BlueTEC. It already complies with the requirements of the future Euro 6 emissions class.

Environmental certificate

Mercedes-Benz is the only automotive brand in the world to have received an ISO-standard Environmental Certificate. For this certification, the vehicle models have to meet strict requirements and undergo stringent controls in their development, production and recycling. Our goal is to make environmental protection objectively measurable and to make it possible for you as the driver to experience it concretely.
