Production start of new four-cylinder engines

In October 2008, we started production of an all-new four-cylinder Mercedes- Benz diesel engine at the Untertürkheim and Kölleda plants. A total of 500,000 of the new four-cylinder diesel engines will initially be manufactured each year to replace several other engines currently in use in various model series. Application in several model series is made possible by the engine’s compact design and wide power range.
