BlueEFFICIENCY from Mercedes-Benz stands for pioneering efficiency technologies as well as innovative packages of measures based on optimising fuel consumption and emission levels.

The BlueEFFICIENCY measures are comprehensive vehicle optimisations that help to save fuel and reduce environmental impact. In the A-Class models, too, the most efficient engines are combined with the optimum aerodynamics and energy management measures in order to consume as little fuel as possible. They feature intelligent energy management, rolling-resistance-optimised tyres and improved aerodynamics thanks to the radiator grille which is closed inside.

There are three BlueEFFICIENCY models to choose from for the A-Class which are equipped with environmentally friendly technologies: the A 160 BlueEFFICIENCY, A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY and A 160 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY.

Mercedes-Benz feels responsible for the protection of natural resources and for providing technologies at the same time sustainable and efficient. After all, it is necessary to ensure future mobility.

Mercedes-Benz is the only automotive brand in the world to have received an ISO-standard Environmental Certificate. For this certification, the vehicle models have to meet strict requirements and undergo stringent controls in their development, production and recycling. Our goal is to make environmental protection objectively measurable and to make it possible for you as the driver to experience it concretely.
