Mercedes-Benz 230 (W 153) with coal-burning generator in small-series production

The Mercedes-Benz 230 (W 153) with coal-burning generator goes into small-series production. To make up at least partially for the loss of power compared with petrol operation, the 2.6-litre M 159 engine is used instead of the 2.3-litre six-cylinder unit. By January 1944 34 vehicles are completed.
