Mercedes Will Soon Release Pollution-Buster Version Of M-Class

A hybrid car that is a real time green eco-friendly car will be released by Mercedes soon. Mercedes will be using the latest low-emission hybrid technology that they have developed and the Bluetec diesel in one in making its Pollution-Busting hybrid version of the Mercedes Benz M-Class.

According to some sources, the new 4x4 will soon hit the showrooms in 2009. The new vehicle is a real time eco-friendly car as it emits 200g of CO2 per 1km and return 40mpg. This will be the best vehicle to battle up with the latest C320 CDI.

"It's a safe bet that our first move into hybrids will come with the M-Class, using a 3.2-litre V6 Bluetec diesel." The senior source has announced. But other information has not yet been revealed. Of course, the car will be filled with quality and genuine Mercedes parts.

The German car maker believes that linking the two systems makes a real time hybrid car that has fewer gas emissions. BMW as well as General Motors are just two among those who eventually made car under this routine. But according to Mercedes, the RX400h will follow the footsteps and the tread marks of the Lexus.

The new vehicle will be using an electric motor that not only reduces weight but absorbs less power and improves efficiency as well. The M5 uses green technology as well because of the high demand of hybrid cars. I just hope they will do it best.

Cool & Green 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid

We are all aware that are lives are made easier with the help of the modern technology and one of this technologies is the automobile. Transportation has never been this comfortable and luxurious as it complements our lifestyle and provides us the best quality of auto performance on the road.

 

2008 Ford Escape Hybrid

But are these cars harmful? Oh yes. Well, in fact, it has a great impact to the environment and not only to humans like us. That’s why green cars have been invented and developed so that these types of vehicles can help lessen the damages that are being brought by other cars to the environment.

One of the efficient green cars produced in today’s present auto industry is the 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid.

This model is known to be the most fuel efficient SUV. The Ford Escape Hybrid was introduced in 2004 and it is a gas-electric powered hybrid which is the version of the Ford Escape crossover SUV. And don’t you know that this was the first hybrid SUV featured in the market? Yes it is and it was developed by the Ford Motor Company in Kansa City in Missouri.

This hybrid car’s system can automatically be switched from pure gasoline power, pure electric power or a combination of gasoline engine and electric battery that would be functioning at the same time for a great performance in any given tasks with regards to loads and speed. We can call it as “pure” hybrid electric system and there’s no doubt about it!

The Escape hybrid uses regenerative braking when decelerating and braking and it supports the brake system. The system also converts the vehicle’s momentum back to electricity to store the energy to the batteries. Compared to the Ford Escape with the V-6 engine and its 200 horsepower, the Escape hybrid has an almost similar drive with 155 horsepower.

There’s only a little difference between the two models. The hybrid has almost the same acceleration but never threatens the condition of the environment. Cool, isn’t it?

The Ford Hybrid Escape will also be the first to promote with alternative flexible fuel capability, traveling on E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline). I am pretty much convinced that next I’ll buy a new car, I’ll go with the green cars like the 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid.

Escape and be free from gas emissions!
