When you think of diesel fuel, do you think of big, loud trucks emitting unpleasant exhaust on the road? This idea is a thing of the past thanks to Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC® Clean Diesel technology. Read on to learn more about the benefits of BlueTEC® and how it works with Vin Devers Autohaus.

How Does BlueTEC® Work?

In simplest terms, BlueTEC® models, such as the Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC®, are able to control emissions by pushing exhaust gases through the catalytic converter, where they are mixed with AdBlue, a water-based additive. When this process is finished, pollutants like nitrogen oxide are turned into nitrogen and water – an environmentally friendly solution.

What are the Benefits of BlueTEC®?

The decrease in soot and pollutants as a result of BlueTEC® technology means that drivers will enjoy a smoother, quieter, and more efficient engine that doesn’t compromise on power. As a Toledo driver, your commute will surely benefit from the fact that a BlueTEC® vehicle can go 600 miles on one tank of fuel, but what’s even better is that this benefits the environment, too! Additionally, you can rest assured knowing that BlueTEC® vehicles meet the emissions standards in all 50 states.
