One of the greatest exponents of efficiency in the range Mercedes and has launch date and price. The technology of the hybrid system takes almost 5 meters in length of the saloon Germanic about consumption and emission data amazing. Will be in dealerships starting next September.

The first hybrid diesel Mercedes E-Class 300 BlueTEC, come to Spain in September in saloon and estate versions or ‘Estate’ promising efficiency aims to hit the E segment of large saloons: 4.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers and 109 grams of CO2 per kilometer, allowing it to be exempt from registration tax.

This is achieved thanks to its mechanical hybrid, consisting of a diesel engine four-cylinder, 2,143 cm3 displacement and 204 horsepower, and a three-phase electric motor magnets with a 27 hp (20 kW) located between the heat engine and automatic seven-speed 7G-Tronic Plus. While the lithium ion battery is housed in the front, the conventional battery is found in the back, just below the trunk tray.

The efficiency of Class Mercedes E 300 BlueTEC Hybrid also comes in addition to its own mechanical hybrid system using the Start / Stop stop and start the engine in the arrests, recovering energy during braking, the disconnect device intelligent Diesel-engine may use only the electric-constant speeds and effect ‘boost’, whereby the electric motor assist always help mode thermal propellant.

Automotive companies Autosafe armor and shields Germans, who make up the WBA Group in Mexico, believe the automotive industry in Mexico shield must maintain its effort with the federal authorities of the country to consolidate an industry brindadora serious, formal and under the terms of Mexican law.

In recent years, the car shielding Mexican industry has undertaken a partnership with the federal Public Security Secretariat to achieve these objectives, which believes the company should be continued and strengthened.

With this work, it is now possible to have a record of shielding automotive companies meet the administrative requirements of law, has been possible to keep these companies in fulfilling their administrative burden and at the same time it has been possible for the authorities know conditions of the units protected by these companies are legal entities.

WBA Group believes that this effort, which has been made in the current administration has allowed to give solidity and formality to shield automotive, which has even encouraged the development of major technological and engineering capabilities in the sector, which have been placed the shield in Mexico one of the highest quality worldwide.

Proof of this, specify Esteban Hernandez, WBA Group commercial director in Mexico, is that this development has allowed other projects to build businesses, where skilled Mexican labor has been highlighted.

One example is the Classic Center and the firm WBA Group German automaker Mercedes Benz, with which the latter, through a process sends international search to classical models MB Mexican blindadora for restoration.

“Mercedes Benz cars recovered has sent us anywhere in the world, from the 50′s, 70′s 60′so us restore our restoration division unarmored cars for shipment to Germany and have them zeroed miles and secured Mercedes Benz Automotive sell them as jewelry available to collectors and lovers of classic cars.

Hernandez felt that this agreement with the German company is the result of skilled labor that Mexican workers automotive shielding have been developed over the years and which is widely valued by a company like Mercedes Benz, which literally puts “in their hands “the restoration of their classic models circulating around the world.

The goblins of the chains do not understand classes and prices. This weekend two of our most expensive and exclusive market have been forced to share the limelight with the hoi polloi car in our usual list of calls to review in Spain and the European Union, which this time is settled with a total of seven models with notice to close as soon as possible by the technical service. Have their names in the title, and descriptions of their shortcomings after the jump.

Macerate GranTurismo-and GranCabrio: According to the National Consumer Institute, it is possible that the rear lights of this exuberant pair of sports may not work correctly, so you will need to be repaired in the workshop. The notice does not indicate the number of vehicles affected, but Macerate contact with clients to put them on notice.

Peugeot 207: The technical description of the newsletter EU warning indicates that the vehicle’s fuse box could have been damaged during installation, causing the warning lamps do not work. The cars would have potentially affected manufactured between July 23, 2010 and October 7 of that year.

Ford Fiesta and Fusion: The rivets on the rear axle could break. We do not believe that this defect requires further elaboration. The units should be checked out of the factories between 19 and 23 September, 2011.

Mercedes-Benz Viand and Vito was detected in case of accident the A-pillar trim can come loose when activated with the activation window airbag, increasing the risk that the user suffers an injury. As a result, Mercedes should review an undetermined number of vehicles manufactured between February 16 and May 12, 2011.

The automotive industry in China has been a source of much controversy because of the blatant commercialization of imitations over the years. This has led to lawsuits around the world, but little has been done to prevent these vehicles sell and move freely in their country of origin. Mercedes Class B cloned in China

One of the most recent imitations which we found was a reproduction of a next-generation Mercedes B-Class called Beijing Auto BC301. The case of this car is a little different from other Chinese clones, because Mercedes and Beijing Auto are partners in a joint venture called Beijing Benz. This means that Beijing Auto likely got a nod of approval from Mercedes before designing the BC301, but the German refused any collaboration in the design and production of that car.

While the BC301 is very similar to a Mercedes on the outside, the German mark did not easily accessible to the planes of the platform at Beijing Auto, so the Chinese clone had to use a slightly modified Mitsubishi Colt platform for what we can expect more reduced levels than in the Class B car alemán.Mercedes cloned in China

The interior of the Class B was much easier to replicate the base and was copied in great detail for the BC301, whose center console and other interior elements closely resemble the original model, with the exception of having 3-spoke steering wheel instead of about 4 as traditionally made ​​Mercedes.

The BC301 will sell two versions: a 1.3-liter 99-hp and 113 hp 1.5-liter, both petrol and derivatives of older models Mitsubishi.

The Bulgarian tuner Vilner is Known for Taking the inside of vehicles to the next level and the new Mercedes-Benz Vito van is no exception by Vilner. Vilner did a complete makeover on the inside Mercedes Vito 120 CDI popular, making it worthy of all STI highend looking for an alternative Occupants to private air travel.

The Vilner Vito is More Than Just offers luxury style updates, you have the tuner front seats Were Replaced the Replace with a pair of Mercedes CL seats, while the back Has Been Fitted with four modified airplane-like seats. The Entire cabin dressed in materials Has Been Such as Alcantara, Nappa leather and wood.

The vehicle’ve Also Been Fitted with mahogany armrests, luxurious tables and extra soundproofing in Addition to an infotainment system That Uses a 19-inch LCD display, a refrigerator, a minibar and Others.

Also you Vilner Brought exterior mods Extremely light, in the form of lightweight alloy wheels and Bi-Xenon headlights. Pricing have yet to be announced.

Fancy driving a vehicle does not use anything but the motion controls? Thought it sounded a bit scary, and if the steering wheel is still causing problems for some while driving, so the accident, who knows what might happen when the world is moving on the attitude of the vehicle-based control? I hate to have an insurance company later.

Mercedes-Benz looks to the future with the movement of their conceptual ideas that may control only the grace of our vehicles for many years on the road, where there is no single button or switch that is available for you to tap or switch. Known as Dynamic Control & Intuitive Experience (DICE), it will depend on a group of proximity sensor that will detect movement of the arm and hand, controlling just about everything from music to navigation and social functions.

Who knows what might happen if you have an itch to scratch, and the system interprets as something completely different, you send a new German made ​​down the cliff. Of course, this kind of thing will probably take several decades to complete, so in the mean time, you can still embrace your steering wheel for dear life as you zoom down the freeway while digging for some gold nuggets from your nose.

The third generation of the M-Class Mercedes -Benz stands out for its low fuel consumption and emissions and it is possible to order the dealer network for the brand. The first units will arrive in November 2011.

The models of the new range on average require 25% less fuel than their predecessors. It should be noted the ML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC, with a combined consumption of only 6.0 l/100 km (158 g CO2/km, for both registration tax of 4.75 % ), which provides a range of up to 1,500 miles to the content of the deposit. On the other hand, increasing the efficiency of the new M-Class does not entail the loss of your driving pleasure and increased comfort. The ML has 4MATIC permanent traction, improved chassis, and innovative control systems that enhance stability on-road properties and cross country.

The low fuel consumption is also due to a broad package of BlueEFFICIENCY measures. Among them, the start-stop function built-in series, the new seven-speed automatic transmission 7G TRONIC PLUS a new torque converter efficiency. They also help maintain consumption reduced spreads reduced friction in the axles, the electromechanical steering and tires with lower rolling resistance. The engineers responsible for the development of the new M-Class have been reduced despite the increased weight of equipment, and use lightweight aluminum alloy and resistant to the arms of the front axle and rear axle, hood and fins. The instrument panel cross member is magnesium.

In the M -Class models with mechanical suspension for the first time incorporates a chassis with selective damping system. During normal traffic on roads with a moderate profile, or driving at low speed off-road, the system responds softly, which promotes the well being of the occupants as the ability to off-road. If the driver cultivates a more sporty driving style, or if you have to make abrupt lane change, shocks take a harder adjustment for improved stability. The driver of the Class M has the aid of an electromechanical steering assistance provided ideal in every situation. When parking or maneuvering it has the maximum steering assistance. The SUV is further distinguished by the smallest turning circle in its segment. The M-Class can change direction without maneuver in the streets of 11.80 meters in width. A high-speed servo assistance is reduced to improve stability.
