Mercedes To Bring Natural Gas Powered Vehicles To U.S.

Mercedes-Benz will be revealing the compact B-Class hatch that has been built with a powertrain – which is designed to be powered by compressed natural gas. They will be showing this new design at the Washington Auto Show. Mercedes has already produced a dual-fuel version of the B-Class in Europe that can run on either petrol or compressed natural gas or both.

They have hopes that this same model or one even better will make its way to the United States. William Craven – the general manager for the regulatory affairs for Daimler’s Washington office told Automotive News that they want to test it for the U.S. market. “We’re testing the market” he said.
