Almost unthinkable three or four years ago, the three-pointed star just became the most efficient luxury car brand, setting the benchmark in a number of vehicle segments when it comes to fuel consumption and emission levels.
In 2013, the average CO2 emissions for the entire European fleet of Mercedes-Benz car has dropped to a rather impressive 134 g/km, corresponding to a reduction of no less than 40 percent compared to 1995 – the largest of any other premium car manufacturer.
Currently, more than 50 Mercedes-Benz models emit less than 120 g of CO2 per km and at least 100 models are stamped with the A or A+ energy efficiency label.
“In 2012 our CO2 fleet output was 140 grammes. We have now undercut this figure by a further 6 grammes. And one thing is certain - we will strive to reduce our CO2 emissions on a continual basis. Ultimately we have set ourselves the ambitious target of achieving an average CO2 fleet output of 125 g CO2/km by 2016”, said Professor Thomas Weber, Daimler Board Member responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.
Launched at the 2013 edition of the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-in Hybrid is the most fuel efficient luxury car on the planet, emitting just 69 grams of CO2 per km.
