Mercedes-Benz recently announced a new line of vehicles that provides a better fuel economy for drivers. Thanks to a few minor modifications, this “Blue Efficiency” line of luxury cars optimizes every drop of fuel you put in the tank.
And the fuel optimization doesn’t even compromise any luxury or comfort that you’ve come to know and expect from a Mercedes-Benz.
You might be wondering how the German automaker accomplished such a task. Engineers will say it was easy. They just did a few tweaks and modifications to the already efficient engine. Instead of drivers worrying about ways to save gas, such as coasting to a red light or using other inconvenient methods, the engine has “built-in” efficiency. So even if you don’t care about getting more mileage out of your tank, you will anyway.
One major modification to the Blue Efficiency line of Mercedes-Benz models is the weight of the vehicle. With a lighter body, the car is more fuel-efficient because it takes less fuel to move it. The engineers also made some slight modifications to the bodies of the vehicles to make them more aerodynamic. In addition, the windshields are thinner, part of the front grille is blocked and some components that stick out (mirrors, door handles and so on) are closer to the car to reduce air resistance even at higher speeds.
You can test-drive one of the Blue Efficiency models by visiting your local Mercedes-Benz dealer today. See the new technology that the company offers to help you get the most from your driving experience each time.
