German automaker Mercedes-Benz has revealed plans to launch more hybrid vehicles in addition to the E-Class and S-Class models.
"The Mercedes-Benz hybrid system is modular and scalable in design, and can be applied to numerous model series. In the coming years, in line with the timing of new model introductions, there will be numerous new hybrid models," Mercedes-Benz said in a statement.

Further details have yet to be unveiled, but the Germans added that the upcoming hybrids will feature four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines, as well as V6 gasoline units.

In addition, Mercedes-Benz announced that the new S500 plug-in hybrid will be launched in 2014 with fuel consumption estimated at "less than four liters per 100 kilometers". The new hybrid flagship sedan will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
