Mercedes-Benz confirms diesel-powered E320 CDI coming to Canada in 2004

Toronto, Ontario - Mercedes-Benz announced it will offer a diesel-powered car in the Canadian market starting in 2004. The new E320 CDI is a fuel-efficient diesel version of its E-Class sedan. Mercedes-Benz claims its new turbocharged six cylinder diesel engine is quiet, fuel-efficient, and achieves lower exhaust emissions than previous diesels. The diesel powerplant will feature electronic fuel injection, considered technically impossible on a diesel until only a few years ago. CDI stands for common-rail diesel injection, a term denoting the fuel line loop supplying constant fuel pressure to each of the six solenoid injector valves.
