Summary

The new B-Class has successfully established itself on the market since the end of last year. Now Mercedes-Benz is launching from this summer onward a total of five diesel powertrains in the form of the new A-Class. The new Mercedes-Benz OM 651 4-cylinder diesel engine is offered in three performance levels in combination with a 6-speed manual transmission and with the new Mercedes-Benz 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. To achieve an optimum drive concept, particular importance was attached to successfully developing engine and transmission drive components as well as integrating and applying them to form an optimum powertrain unit. The focus is on the new TopType output variant in combination with the new dual-clutch transmission as well as the NVH optimization measures.
