Yet a further innovation is the optional eight-speed Mercedes GO 240-8 PowerShift automatic transmission. Individual options include a head-up display, ventilated and massaging front seats, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, an air fragrance and purification system, a rear sunshade, power soft-closing doors, a 23-speaker Burmester sound system, an adaptive air suspension, and 20-inch wheels. The uprated 15.9-litre V8 engine delivers 480 kW (653 hp) and a maximum torque of 3,000 Nm, power transmission being by means of a fluid coupling. The three pointed symbol has been designed to represent power over the land, the air and the sea. Over 80 vehicles, including numerous world premieres, embody leadership in innovation in terms of safety, environmental compatibility and economic efficiency both in trucks and also in vans, buses, special-purpose vehicles and components. The over emphasized wheel arches, extra ducts on the front fender, and a slightly redesigned bumper gives the Black Series a look unique to itself.
Moreover, the Travego features the patented Front Collision Guard passive safety system with movable driver workspace. The premium high-decker touring coach is now available with the Active Brake Assist system, whereby, if there is an acute danger of a rear-end collision with the vehicle in front, having issued a series of graduated warnings, in a final stage the system automatically initiates a full application of the brakes. Still unique among the safety assistant systems on the Actros is the Active Brake Assist. The new Sprinter will bring an array of updates, including a gasoline engine, more than 1,700 configurations worldwide, telematics offering Mercedes Pro, and available driver assistance systems such as a self-cleaning rear-view camera in the rear-view mirror. The driver benefits from numerous new comfort features, including a bed with level control, shaving mirror, towel holder and table. The six-cylinder in-line OM 457 LA engine is available in an additional power-output level with 335 kW (456 hp). One of the innovations is the already close-to-production Econic BlueTec Hybrid, featuring a parallel hybrid based on the 210-kW (286-hp) OM 906 LA diesel engine.
Mercedes-Benz is presenting a concept study in the form of the worldwide unique Econic NGT Hybrid, which combines an EEV-rated natural-gas-powered engine with an electric motor. Mercedes-Benz vans are proceeding along the same route. Starting in the spring of 2009, the same transmission will also be available in the Mercedes-Benz Tourismo high-decker touring coach. The Mercedes-Benz Actros, which was newly presented in the spring and is the first truck to be equipped as standard with an automatic transmission, will be celebrating its premiere at the International Commercial Vehicle Show. The second focus for Mercedes-Benz trucks at the 2008 International Commercial Vehicle Show will be on alternative drives. The Mercedes-Benz Econic will be celebrating no fewer than two premieres at the 2008 International Commercial Vehicle Show. Already undergoing customer trials is the Mercedes-Benz Atego BlueTec Hybrid with 11.99 tonnes gross vehicle weight - proof that Mercedes-Benz not only announces new-type drives, but also puts them into practice.
The prototype of the Axor BlueTec Hybrid will begin customer trials next year. The path to custom-made drives for vans will be facilitated in future by preconfigured BlueEFFICIENCY packages, which will provide application-specific decision-making help with regard to vans used for short-, mixed- and long-distance transportation. While following the instructions provided in your Sprinter 2500's owners manual and in this video will help minimize the risk of injury. We have no idea about the materials used because there wasn’t much information about them in the video presentation, its caption, or even in the product page of the customized Sprinter by TRIMO. My first lap wasn’t perfect, and I lost almost one second compared with my second lap, but on my final lap everything went well. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain will celebrate its second anniversary in September. Second place on the grid is a good basis for tomorrow's race. We hope that tomorrow's race will be equally incident-free, and that in time the Valencia event will become a regular, integral and much-admired element of the Formula 1 calendar.
