Last week, DaimlerChrysler AG, Mercedes-Benz luxury car division first introduced the Vision C 220 BLUETEC to the European public at the recent 77th International Motor Show Geneva (77 annual Geneva International Motor Show). The Vision C 220 BLUETEC joins the line of business vehicles in place the C-Class models. Apart from the overall elegant exterior appearance, along with a luxurious and elegant interior of the vehicle equipment, the Vision C 220 BLUETEC 's key feature is under its hood. The Mercedes-Benz Vision C 220 BLUETEC, equipped with the world's cleanest diesel, according to the German automaker. The 4-cylinder engine is capable of pumping 170 hp (125 kW) and produces 295 pounds-feet (400 Nm) amount of maximum torque. The engine meets the strictest emission standards in the world as was the Euro 6 standard and the BIN 5 emissions standard for all 50 states. Even with low fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, the Mercedes-Benz Vision C 220 BLUETEC still offers impressive handling and ride performance.DaimlerChrysler AG BLUTEC clean diesel technology for the diesel to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) developed. Like any other standard Mercedes-Benz production engines, the diesel engine on board the Vision C 220 BLUETEC is a system of four-cylinder drive. The powertrain includes four valves per cylinder, third-generation common-rail direct injection, turbocharger with variable turbine geometry and exhaust gas recirculation. A unit of engine management is also included for controlling engine operating conditions, thereby improving the combustion process, provides an improved diesel fuel to 5.5 liters per 62 miles (100 km) and, above all, provides output of harmful nitrous oxide emissions reduction. The diesel engine for the Vision C 220 BLUETEC, equipped with particulate filters and catalysts lot of Mercedes to help reduce emissions further. The BLUETEC diesel engine is also included in the list of Ward's 10 Best Engines for 2007.How Bluetec clean diesel technology work? First, the system uses a Mercedes-Benz that the functions of oxidation catalyst to reduce carbon monoxide (CO content) and unburnd of hydrocarbons (HC) exhaust. Then another called DeNOx catalyst removes nitrogen oxides, using a particle filter. Finally, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst converts the nitrogen and other oxides in pure water, with the injection of AdBlue, a urea-based material that helps the conversion process. Meanwhile, according to Mercedes-Benz, suggests three types of models equipped with BLUETEC diesel engine to provide a deployment in the U.S. market. These include the R-Class crossover SUV, the M-Class 4-door SUV, and GL-Class full size luxury crossover SUV.
