"Groene" Mercedessen in aantocht?

"After a decade in which German engineers applied their world-famous skills to perfecting engines that deliver equally renowned driving experiences, Daimler, Bayerische Motoren Werke and Volkswagen are in the process of a transformation in mind-set that should begin to affect their product lines in about two years."

"Daimler now has roughly 500 engineers at work in a facility in Troy, Michigan, where a joint venture with General Motors and BMW has been set up to develop hybrid technology in the hopes of outpacing Toyota. The venture, an investment worth around €1 billion, or $1.25 billion, is an unusual setup that will allow the three competitors to create common components that they could use in their own vehicles"
