The Daimler Trucks division anticipates rising unit sales for full-year 2008. This will result on the one hand from the positive development of some Asian markets and on the other hand from higher unit sales in Europe - primarily due to the growth of markets in Eastern Europe. The full availability of the sedan and station-wagon versions of the new C-Class and of the new smart fortwo will make a decisive contribution to this development. This results in very low CO2 emissions of only 190 grams per kilometer, a very low value for this vehicle class and power class, making the S 400 BlueHYBRID the world’s most economical luxury sedan - unrivaled by any gasoline, diesel, or hybrid drive system offered by any competitor. Lithium-ion batteries are ideally suited for use in hybrid vehicles to help reducing fuel consumption and thus also CO2 emissions. And S 400 BlueHYBRID drivers will still enjoy impressive performance: combined with the hybrid module, the maximum output is 220 kW/299 hp, and the corresponding maximum torque is 375 Nm. My tester was outfitted with the larger engine, the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6's substantive torque making light work of a mostly empty van. Coming in 2019, a new 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 190 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque will be offered in the Sprinter, bringing the starting price down by $6,000 to $33,790.
The S 400 BlueHYBRID consumes only 7.9 liters of gasoline per 100 km in the NEDC. The S 400 BlueHYBRID accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. Not to forget to mention that the lithium-ion battery will introduced on the 2009 S 400 BlueHYBRID. The engineers’ success is above all a result of the Daimler-developed integration of the lithium-ion battery into the vehicle’s climate control system. Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Daimler AG Board of Management and responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development, says: “What we have here is a groundbreaking key technology that is going to be a decisive factor for the future success of the automotive industry. The company’s founders, Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz, continued to make automotive history following their invention of the automobile in 1886. As an automotive pioneer, Daimler and its employees willingly accept an obligation to act responsibly towards society and the environment and to shape the future of safe and sustainable mobility with groundbreaking technologies and high-quality products.

Daimler sells its products in nearly all the countries of the world and has production facilities on five continents. Mercedes-Benz is the first carmaker in the world that achieved what no others could till now:the first lithium-ion battery mounted on a production car. Everyone needs good wheels for their car which are cost effective and have the capability to increase performance. Daimler Financial Services anticipates a moderate increase in its business volume as the year progresses. Mercedes-Benz Cars expects to further increase its worldwide unit sales in 2008, thus surpassing the record level of the prior year. The Daimler Buses unit sold 9,200 buses and chassis in the first quarter of this year, exceeding the high level of the prior-year quarter by 11%. Market developments in Brazil played a particularly important role; unit sales in Latin America increased by 19% to 5,700 vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz Vans unit increased its unit sales by 11% to 68,600 in the first quarter of 2008, thus setting a new record.
Sprinter 3500XD Cargo Vans have an overall length that ranges from 234 inches to 290 inches, depending on configuration. Although the new DaimlerChrysler plant will not produce Mercedes-Benz E-Class models like the E 320 with Mercedes 320 part, the new assembly plant in South Carolina will exclusively produce North America's most popular Sprinter van. Eurobahn BMW MINI Mercedes Benz Audi is a one-stop-shop for all of your auto Body repairs, service, and collision that you can count. The 3.5-tonnes Sprinter can accommodate up to six tanks that hold more than 46 kg or a volume of 294 liters. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter comes with standard safety features that include front disc brakes, electronic stability control, front tow hooks, daytime running lights, driver and passenger airbags, side head airbag, brake assist, traction control and rear drum brakes. Stability and traction control, refined handling, and perfect power steering make this car a maneuvering masterpiece.
