Hybrids to slowly replace diesels at Mercedes
Next GLE Will Get An Active Chassis
Matthew Askari
German automakers have had some success bringing diesel-powered vehicles in
America in recent years, but that may not last much longer. A product
planner from Mercedes-Benz we spoke to in Austria apparently believes hybrid
setups may be more favorable in the long run, and electrified hybrids will
eventually replace oil burners. That's why most every concept car we've seen
in the last few years features some sort of hybrid or plug-in hybrid setup
while there have been very few diesels.
"Yes, diesel is technically complex, and very expensive. The additives to
reduce particulate matter are very costly. You'll see more hybrids to meet
the changing regulations," according to our source. We've seen this exact
scenario play out with Mazda, which has struggled to bring its 2.2-liter
diesel engine to America, citing the costly process to reduce emissions in
order to meet California-level standards while still maintaining suitable
performance for the US market. It's certainly interesting that this news
comes hot on the heels of revelations that VW, the automaker that offers the
most diesel-powered models in the US, was found in violation of emissions
rules on its popular 2.0-liter TDI engine. |
