TrueBlueSolutions is the name of Mercedes-Benz’s sustainability strategy which we are employing to pursue the goal of emission-free mobility. Every model features individual aerodynamics and energy management measures to achieve the greatest possible degree of environmental compatibility.

One of its components is the BlueEFFICIENCY concept, applied in a diesel-powered model of the GLK. This is not just the vision of an uncontaminated environment, because BlueEFFICIENCY consists of a whole package of concrete measures:

- engine optimisation strategies such as direct injection, turbocharging and the trend towards efficient 4-cylinder models
- requirements-based control of the ECO power-steering pump, a controlled fuel pump and air-conditioning compressor; alternator deactivated in overrun mode


The objective of these technologies is to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions – compliance with the future EU5 emissions standard is already guaranteed.
