  1. BLUETEC BlueTEC Benefits - ALG Mercedes-Benz USA Advanced Product Planning Department 04/29/08

  2. The Diesel Trucks The ML320 BlueTEC delivers impressive fuel economy, performance, and utility at an unmatched value - an excellent gasoline alternative. The R320 BlueTEC is the first clean diesel sports tourer, offering impressive fuel economy without sacrificing performance, utility, or space. The GL320 BlueTEC is the first luxury full size SUV with a diesel offering impressive fuel economy without sacrificing performance, towing capability and efficiency. • 7,200 lb towing capacity • 0 – 60 mph: 8.0 seconds • 3,500 lb towing capacity • 0 – 60 mph: 8.1 seconds • 7,500 lb towing capacity • 0 – 60 mph: 7.1 seconds Same 3.0L DOHC 24-valve V6 CDI engine as in former diesel models + SCR Technology (AdBlue) • 210 hp @ 3,800 rpm • 398 lb-ft @ 1,600 – 2,800 rpm • 7-speed automatic transmission • 4Matic permanent all wheel drive

  3. Diesel Definitions DeNox earns E-Class BlueTEC Name AdBlue System provides 50 state availability

  4. E320 BlueTEC- System with DeNox Catalytic Converter (which current CDIs don’t have) What is BlueTEC Two different variants of BlueTEC NOx exhaust treatment technologies exist: 50 State-System (MY2009) ML320 BlueTECR 320 BlueTECGL320 BlueTEC 40 State-System (MY2009) SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)AdBlue - injection

  5. Clean enough to be 50 State • AdBlue, a non-toxic additive is injected into exhaust stream • Consequential large improvements in emission of: • NOx = Nitrogen Oxide, which combines with hydrocarbons to create smog -> - 80% • HC = Hydrocarbon, which is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon -> - 61% • CO = Carbon Monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas -> - 34% • PM = Particulate Matter, tiny particles of solid matter that lodge in the lungs and cause asthma -> - 88% • AdBlue topped off at regular service intervals

  6. BlueTEC Summary - Consumer Benefits • Less Fuel Consumption: • Consumes 20-30% less fuel than comparable gasoline-powered vehicles • It offers fuel economy improvements in both city and highway driving • Results in less dependence of oil resources • Less Emissions: • State of the art after-exhaust treatment system reduces NOx. • Lower fuel consumption translates to reduced Green house gas emissions. • More Driving Fun: • Impressive torque, acceleration, and performance (incl. Towing capability) • Less engine noise and better insulation provides a quiet ride • Nonstop driving excitement up to 600 miles before refueling • Extremely Strong customer benefits for multiple target groups (“Save the planet”, “Fuel Prices/Cost of ownership”, “Energy independence”)
