'By employing the SCR system, DTNA is benefiting from the experience obtained with Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses in Europe. Nearly 250,000 of these trucks and buses have been driven on Europe’s roads since BlueTec was introduced in 2005, and they have demonstrated their fuel efficiency and reliability'.

These 2 trucks were created from zero, providing better economy of fuel and high tech aerodynamics. They all were tested in the wind tunnel of DTNA, working non-stop. The truck units are very effective because of the aluminum, fiberglass usage.
