Agile, strong, comfortable and clean.
Trucks, vans, buses and special vehicles
from Daimler are shaping the future of
transportation.

The development of fuels is inseparable from the develop-
ment of drive systems. With new sources of energy, we
utilize additional potential for reducing fuel consumption
and emissions.

Well prepared for Euro 6 and EPA10. In the new
clean room with climate control, new engines’
emissions of particulate matter are measured
using the most exact measuring techniques in
line with international exhaust emission
regulations.
