28. BLUETEC Diesel technology Requires low sulfur diesel (ULSD) Less then 15 ppm. The SCR-technology costs are negatively influenced by the AdBlue tank and dosing system. The SCR-technology requires replenishment of AdBlue at regular intervals. The low freezing point of urea needs adequate measures for winter functioning. NOx storage exhaust-gas aftertreatment processes, will also lead to increased HC emissions.
29. BLUETEC Diesel technology BLUETEC has the cleanest diesel emissions. BLUETEC enabled Mercedes Benz E 320 to meet EURO VI norms already. Customers would benefit from better fuel mileage. It is predicted that the diesel sales will quadruple in the next decade and hence an ultimate solution for NOx emissions 20 to 40% better mileage then gasoline
