Heralded as the world's most advanced diesel technology, BLUETEC combines several technologies to minimize exhaust emissions. BLUETEC is built on a foundation of advanced engine design that includes the latest CDI electronic injection, a turbocharger with variable nozzle turbine and exhaust gas recirculation. This high-tech powerplant represents a dramatic step forward that seems destined to change people's dated perceptions about diesels.
