Mercedes-Benz is the only manufacturer in this vehicle class to deploy balancer shafts in all four-cylinder engines of its vans - commercial vehicles from Mercedes-Benz embody the same pioneering quality for which the brand's passenger cars are renowned. Drivers of vans from Mercedes-Benz are not required to compromise on comfort. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class will be launched in spring 2011 and is a comprehensive modernisation. This will both enhance its driving dynamics as well as its ability to take to the roads no matter what weather has in store. Once this is removed the unit will allow the black plastic cover side to be removed. A label on the side bolsters in the Mercedes Vito crewbus and Vito Mixto now indicates the seats which are provided with standardised anchor points for child seats - a minor but particularly important measure when children are to be transported in child seats in taxis or in private use on board the Vito, for example.
The latest version of the engine in the Vito 122 CDI offers ten percent more power, at 165 kW (224 hp) and an unchanged highly impressive level of torque, at 440 Nm. The latest version of this engine is also more powerful, more economical and more environmentally friendly. Thanks to offset connecting rod journals, the engine runs more smoothly than any other diesel in its class. The only six-cylinder engine to be deployed in a van attains impressive performance data for a diesel in this class, providing the basis for a special driving experience. The camshafts are driven via a combination of gearwheels and a short chain, providing the robust basis for a virtually endless service life. State-of-the-art engine technology provides the basis for the Vito's exceptionally low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. At the same time, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have fallen noticeably, by around five percent, and are surprisingly low in relation to the performance capabilities of the Mercedes Vito 122 CDI.
Drastically reduced fuel consumption also lowers CO2 emissions to a record level. Guidance: No, a driver’s record of duty status must bear the signature of the driver whose time is recorded thereon. The system always responds predictably and consistently while other variable steering systems sometimes require rapid adaptation by the driver in rapidly changing situations. Charging is carried out in both power variants by a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry which combines high efficiency with swift response to movements of the accelerator pedal. The high torque of the long-stroke engine with 83 mm bore and a stroke of 99 mm provides for unusually high tractive power. For the AMG version, there was a choice of three engines with different outputs:206 kW/280 hp, 221 kW/300 hp or 235 kW/320 hp, capable of achieveing 51 mkg maximum torque. Maximum torque is available right from very low engine speeds and over a broad rev range - another key benefit in commercial operations requiring high tractive power.
Top of the range is the V6 in the Mercedes-Benz Vito 122 CDI, which combines smooth running with impressive output and high tractive power to meet the very highest requirements. The V6 engine in the Mercedes-Benz Vito 122 CDI is an accomplished feat of engineering and a pinnacle of engine design from Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz of Roanoke raises the bar in every area. The maximum injection pressure stands at an impressive 1800 bar. The benefits of this technology include a gentle build-up of pressure and a smooth-running engine. All the further functions feature LED technology - such as the distinctively curved sidelights and the horizontal band of the daytime running lamps in the outer sections of the bumper. Common rail injection, the low-vibration forged crankshaft running on five bearings and the rear camshaft drive provide the foundation for the engine's surprisingly smooth running. Particularly durable solenoid valves and seven-hole injection nozzles provide for extremely precise fuel injection with up to five injections per combustion cycle. The technical highlights include a total of four chain-driven overhead camshafts, common rail injection with piezo injectors and eight injection holes per injector for ultra-fine atomisation of the fuel. Fuel injection takes place by means of a common rail system.
When the vehicle's sensors detect slip, the brake system automatically slows the freewheeling to enhance grip by sending the majority of the power to the tire with the most purchase. This reduces the power output, thereby lowering fuel consumption. Overall, the engine speed has been reduced substantially in the interests of lower fuel consumption and emissions. 0.675) designed to keep the engine speed low. Thanks to its combination of a rated engine speed of 3800 rpm and astounding elasticity, the four-cylinder engine has an unusually broad useful operating range between around 1000 and 4000 revs. The Vito is the only model in its class to feature a six-speed transmission for all four-cylinder drive variants as standard. The new six-speed ECO Gear manual transmission comes as standard for all Mercedes Vito models equipped with a four-cylinder diesel engine. All diesel engines are equipped with an oxidation catalytic converter, a particulate filter and cooled exhaust gas recirculation.
