The BlueEFFICIENCY measures on market launch and for the engine variants that will be available later are
listed below.
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 drasti-
cally reduce its electrical power consumption. The
power requirements of the fuel pump are relative to
the amount of fuel currently required. Reducing the
electrical output also reduces fuel consumption.
3 Rear axle
Lengthened rear axle ratio leading to a fuel reduc-
tion.

4 Underfloor paneling
Installation of full-length, smooth-surfaced under-
floor paneling to reduce fuel.
5 Outside mirror housing
Aerodynamically shaped outside mirror housings to
reduce fuel.
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.
