Why Choose Diesel? The Proven Advantages Of Diesel vs. Gasoline Engines.

Those who’ve never driven a diesel often wonder how a diesel engine differs from a gasoline-powered one. For starters, the engine is designed differently. A diesel engine has fewer moving parts and operates at lower combustion temperatures. This makes a diesel engine more reliable (fewer parts mean fewer failures) and longer lasting than a comparable gas model. That’s especially important when you’re on the road a lot.

Today’s diesel is nothing like those of previous generations. Advances in electronics and fuel injection have revolutionized the diesel engine — keeping all the benefits of a diesel intact while boosting torque and acceleration and cutting emissions.

Advantages Of Mercedes Diesel Technology:

With the CDI 5 and 6 cylinder diesel engines, the Sprinter achieves a new standard in performance. These engines excel with superior torque, a smooth-running transmission, and outstanding fuel efficiency. Superior performance comes from advancements like: engine supercharging with charge-air cooling common-rail direct injection (CDI) an exhaust turbocharger with Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG).

With these characteristics, the Turbocharged CDI meets the most demanding power expectations. The Sprinter’s powertrain is completed by the outstanding 5-speed automatic overdrive transmission which is standard on all models with "tip-shift" technology.
