BlueEFFICIENCYInnovations for efficient mobilityMercedes-Benz believes it has an obligation and aduty to ensure responsible and sustainable mobilityfor the future. The way to achieve this is calledBlueEFFICIENCY: trailblazing efficiency technologiesfor optimizing fuel consumption and emissions. TheMercedes-Benz Sprinter is impressive proof of theposi tive impact BlueEFFICIENCY can have: thanks tothe use of innovative BlueTEC SCR diesel technology,the Sprinter already complies with the strict emissionlimits of the EPA 10 standard, while meeting yourown strict requirements for a powerful, lowconsumptiondrive system.Clean, powerful, and comfortable: the Sprinter withBlueTEC SCR diesel technology. The innovativeBlueTEC technology reduces emissions by filteringthe exhaust gases and then sending them througha catalytic converter, where they are mixed with thewater-based additive DEF. In this process, pollutantnitrogen oxides are converted into harmless nitrogenand water. The result is a substantial reduction inpollutants and soot particles – and one of the world’scleanest diesel engines.What you get is state-of-the-art engine technology,class-leading fuel consumption, and extremely lowpol lutant emissions – and all this in combination withimpressive power delivery and a remarkably low noiselevel. Incidentally, the only time you notice that youhave BlueTEC – one of the most advanced emissioncontroltechnologies – on board is when you fill upat the pump: you see the separate filler neck for theDEF additive, and you realize that your fuel bill willbe pleasingly low from now on.BlueTEC uses the DEF additive, which is carried ina separate tank.
