Two Mercedes-benz Models Awarded With Car Environment Certificate by Oko Trend Institute

In the news: Two Mercedes-Benz models were recently awarded with the Car Environment Certificate by the internationally renowned environmental institute Oko Trend. The Mercedes-Benz models that were awarded are Mercedes-Benz A 160 CDI and the Mercedes-Benz B 200 CDI which are both manufactured by the Stuttgart brand. The two Mercedes models received top marks during an extensive and critical analysis by specialists at the independent institute.

Both the Mercedes-Benz A 160 CDI and Mercedes-Benz B 200 CDI have achieved well-above-average results in all areas. According to the institute Oko Trend, the two Mercedes models have obtained excellent values in terms of fuel consumption and exhaust/noise emissions plus excel in virtue of its environmentally friendly production, materials and logistics.

The Oko Trend institute was so impress with the two Mercedes-Benz models that it said, “The Mercedes-Benz A 160 CDI may be seen as one of the most eco-friendly vehicles with a conventional drive system. The development phase for this compact car was already based on a comprehensive environmental concept which takes the entire lifecycle of the vehicle into consideration. Numerous specific measures have reduced emissions during the production and operation of the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class by approximately 17 percent compared to the preceding model. All in all, Mercedes has set new ecological standards for conventionally powered vehicles with the new A-Class.”

The Mercedes-Benz A 160 CDI has a fuel consumption of 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers with a corresponding CO2 emission of 128 grams. Based on the research conducted by the Oko Trend, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class is distinguished by a “high degree of variability and spaciousness, as well as convincing environmental credentials”. The Oko Trend institute has high regards for the power unit of the Mercedes-Benz B 200 CDI saying, “The 140hp diesel is equipped with a particulate filter as standard. Thanks to a high torque of 300 Nm, which is already available from 1600 rpm, this engine allows a relaxed style of driving and early upshifts. A fuel consumption of six liters per 100 km is feasible in practice. All in all, therefore, the Mercedes B 200 CDI achieves a very good environmental rating.” The Institute also stressed the high ecological standards that generally apply at Mercedes-Benz.

Aside from the environmentally friendly standards that Mercedes-Benz is implementing it is also renowned for its high level of safety features. Every component added to a Mercedes vehicle is carefully scrutinized and tested for quality and durability especially in terms of safety parts like Mercedes brakes which are the primary safety features of a Benz car. Mercedes brake parts are manufactured and designed by the carmaker itself to further ensure quality. This is in keeping with the long tradition of the automaker in creating not only top-of-the-line vehicles but also producing high quality auto parts.

The Oko Trend Institute for Environmental Research is founded by the Bergische University of Wuppertal and has been publishing research reports regarding the eco-friendliness of car models since 1997. And last year this financially independent and neutral institute has expanded their analytical activities and started giving their internationally renowned Oko Trend Car Environment Certificate. These certificates are awarded only to vehicles which meet the particularly high environmental standards set by the institute. In making their assessment, the specialists take not only the vehicle specific criteria such as exhaust/noise emissions and fuel consumption but also take into consideration the environmental parameters relating to production, logistics, including the manufacturer’s environmental management systems. And that’s not all; vehicles need to obtain at least 90 percent of the maximum score in all assessment criteria in order to be awarded with the car Environment Certificate.

At present only 15 car models worldwide were given the Certificate and two of them were from Mercedes-Benz: one from the Mercedes compact class and Mercedes compact van class.

1999 Mercedes Benz E320 needs front brake pads, how much should I expect to spend for repair job?

Honestly, it depends on where you take it to.

I have and old '85 380SL and 1998 SL500. I take them (along with a couple of other cars) to a mechanic shop located in not the best part of town (Houston). I was told repeatedly to use only dealers for my cars - what a crock of baloney. Again though, find someone you trust and stick with them. DON'T rule out the little mom & pop shops or the hole-in-the-walls as long as they are honest. (My mechanic goes deal-finding on parts for me). Call around and get a feel for the place and the owner. If the owner is too busy to talk, move on.

In any case, to answer your question, brake pads for Benz's can run anywhere from $24 to about $79 each or the set (two front, two back). The labor to change can run from $60/hr to $150/hr - again depending where you take it to. A brake job is not hard! ALSO, if the mechanic tells you that you need new rotors (REALLY expensive) ask him if they can be re-machined. Normally, if they have not been machined before or if they are still in good shape - no biggie - but most won't tell you this. Dealers also do not like to do this as it affects bottom dollar. What machining does, it makes the surface where the pads actually rest against in a stop, smooth again. Re-machining can save you anywhere from $500 - $1,000. If they tell you the calipers are bad - get a second opinion. Normally calipers do not go bad until the car is very old, has been through a heck of a lot, or you have let the brakes go to the point where they almost do not stop.

If you happen to live in Houston, I can recommend a great mechanic ).

Good luck!

Tradies rejoice - Benz ups the ante
