Mercedes-Benz' in-house tuning arm, AMG, has announced the horsepower wars are over (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/14/amg-boss-the-horsepower-wars-are-over/), and the automaker is gearing up to implement a new range of technologies that will help reduce fuel consumption by 2012.
According to AutoTelegraaf, M-B will introduce start-stop technology on AMG models as early as next year, along with launching a direct-injection system based of the second-generation currently employed on the C350 CGI BlueEfficiency (http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/10/23/c-350-cgi-blueefficiency-28-mpg-in-a-large-petrol-sedan/). The automaker has set an internal goal of reducing fuel consumption across its line-up by 30% in the next three years. While diesels and new engine technologies will go a long way to achieving that goal, Mercedes plans to begin reducing the weight of its vehicles through the use of more composite materials and other weight-saving assembly procedures.
