36 Mercedes-Benz E-Class saloons with clean diesel drives start out on a 26-day long-distance run from Paris to Beijing covering some 13,600 km. The route takes them across nine countries and follows much of the route used in the 1907 Beijing to Paris race, the first transcontinental car race in history. In the course of five stages 330 drivers from 35 nations take the wheel of the E-Class saloons.
