Daimler Mercedes-Benz's cleaner technology in European diesel, gasoline engines
FRANKFURT - Daimler said it will spend €3 B ($3.35 B) to curtail diesel exhaust pollution levels by modifying its engines and exhaust treatment systems, including a software update for some Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
The €3-B amount includes a €2.6-B investment announced in February.
Daimler Mercedes-Benz will equip its entire range of diesel cars in Europe with selective catalytic reduction technology and roll out particulate filters for gasoline engines.
Daimler said improvements in engine technology include optimizations of turbocharging, fuel injection and intercooling, as well as the application of new materials that help extend exhaust-gas recirculation treatments at lower operating temperatures.
