With more than 250,000 of the engines already in service worldwide, Mercedes-Benz has introduced the Euro VI-compliant version of the OM 471. OM 471 is the European version of North America’s DD13 engine. The engine was introduced last month at a press event in Berlin, Germany.

Mercedes-Benz says the OM 471 is 3% more fuel efficient than it’s Euro V-compliant predecessor, and in average service with mileage of around 81,000 miles a year, a Mercedes-Benz Actros COE with the OM 471 will consume around 300 fewer gallons of fuel and emit around 3 tons less carbon dioxide.
