Mercedes-Benz Euro 1, 2 and 3 trucks can be retrofitted with diesel particulate filter

Daimler AG and PURI tech GmbH & Co. KG sign a cooperation agreement covering the retrofitting of diesel particulate filters to Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles. From January 2009 PURI tech will supply filter retrofit kits that reduce emissions of soot particles by more than 99 %. These enable Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles in emission categories Euro 1, Euro 2 and Euro 3 to improve their label ratings for low emission zones, as well as their classification for motorway toll charges.
