Sure looks like the people pressure is doing the trick. for long have car manufacturers claimed that while they wanted to go green, people were just not ready to pay the costs incurred and bear with them while they figured out ways to create similarly powered cars. But the pressure to become environmentally friendly is taking its toll. Mercedes Benz has revealed the Vision C : 220 Bluetec. Mercedes has brought out the Vision C with the vision of going into 2015 when Euro 6 emission levels are considered to be in effect. The car which will surprisingly run on diesel still has a strong performing 170 hp engine which boasts of a peak torque of 400 Nm.

"The sophisticated four-cylinder diesel engine with Bluetec emission control is a prime example of leading-edge, future-compatible technology," explains Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of DaimlerChrysler AG and Head of the Mercedes Car Group. "Our diesel strategy is an effective answer to the question of how to save fuel and, therefore, CO2, to further reduce all exhaust emissions including NOx and yet still ensure effortlessly superior driving enjoyment. In this respect, we believe our state-of-the-art diesel concept is currently the best and most efficient solution available."
