OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Stuttgart, Germany, Jan 20, 2009
The diesel engine draws much of its appeal from the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand. It �learned to walk� in the motor vehicle at Benz & Cie. � at the beginning of the twentieth century, design engineer Prosper L�Orange developed a vehicle propulsion unit from Rudolf Diesel�s engine, and in 1923 the world�s first diesel truck originated in Mannheim. Finally, in 1936 Mercedes-Benz built the world�s first diesel passenger car. Since that time there has been an unending succession of innovations to every aspect of the compression-ignition engine in the vehicles of the Stuttgart-based brand.
