Not just Mercedes, but here at Ford we are well aware of the planned decrease in sulpher content that has been mandated. We sell a fair amount of trucks with diesel engines and as stated a few months ago by the COB, diesels are going to be a major thrust in the ongoing effort to increase corporate fule mileage. There are new diesel engines in the works including one for the F150 and all the SUVs. Mercedes will have the backing of the big three with them. Oh that's right, Mercedes is one of the big three now...
