Ecology
Overview
Daimler is committed to integrated environmental protection that encompasses the entire value-creation process. We aim to address the causes of environmental pollution, to take into consideration the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes and products at the earliest possible stage, and to channel the knowledge thus gained into corporate decision making. The 1.8 billion euros we spent on environmental protection in 2007 demonstrates our firm commitment to this issue (2006: EUR 1.6 billion).
Highlights

Innovation through exhaust treatment: Besides carbon dioxide and water vapor, automobile exhaust emissions include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC). Diesel vehicles have the same emissions plus particulates. Vehicle emissions have a significant impact on air quality, especially in cities with heavy traffic. more |
