Blueefficiency - Mercedes-Benz 212 Sedan E-Class Service Manual

BlueEFFICIENCY measures
1 Weight reduction
Thanks to the lightweight construction with a mixture
of high-strength and ultra high-strength materials in
the bodyshell and the use of aluminum add-on parts, it
has been possible to reduce the weight of the vehicle
considerably and thus achieve further fuel savings.
2 Fuel pump
By regulating the fuel pump it is possible to drastically
reduce its electrical power consumption. The power
requirements of the fuel pump depend on the amount
of fuel currently required. Reducing the electrical
output also reduces fuel consumption.
3 Rear axle
Lengthened rear axle ratios leading to a reduction in
fuel consumption.

4 Underfloor paneling
Installation of full-length, smooth-surfaced underfloor
paneling to reduce fuel consumption.
5 Outside mirror housing
Aerodynamically shaped outside mirror housings
leading to a reduction in fuel consumption.
6 Tires
The use of silicates in the tires means that the tire
temperature quickly increases in critical situations to
improve the grip to the level of a standard tire. At the
same time, all the properties relevant to usage are
preserved and the rolling resistance coefficient is
increased, which improves fuel economy.
