Mercedes Benz 300d Turbo Diesel "wvo Converted" Kit Installed Rare on 2040-cars
Jasper, New York, United States

Mercedes Benz 300D I have read that only 135 of this particular model was produced therefore it is very rare. The fryertofuel brand kit works flawlessly and this car has logged over half of its life mileage on grease. Fryertofuel sold and installed this kit years ago and they are still in business today with excellent customer service. You start the car on diesel, let the engine get up to operating temperature, flip a switch and bam your running on veggie oil! It has a separate heated aluminum tank in the trunk for the veg. Im going to be as clear as possible. Without running this car down Im going to say its kind of a "beater" car. Yes it was a high end luxury car in 93 but its logged almost 300k so therefore it shows wear and use appropriate with age. That being said it runs EXCELLENT. I drive it daily(selling only to convert a truck) The body does have some heavy rust and paint bubbling. The underside has surface rust only. The heater does not work that great and the sunroof doesn't open but everything else seems to work as it should. Power heated leather seats! The engine and drivetrain run and shift as they should. The engine has a lot of blow by that blows oil out over time. This is very common with these cars due to the crankcase pressure being so high. I just keep an eye on it and add a dab now and then. If you buy this car and plan to drive it home I will give you enough grease to drive home on and I will also educate you on my grease cleaning system. I have a system designed that is fairly inexpensive to build and works awesome. Ive never had a clogged filter or been stranded. greasecar.com has a lot of valuable info if your new to the idea. This cars original diesel system is still in place and unmolested. Does not have to run on veg grease but the way I see it is why buy gas when you can drive for free. literally. This kit is $1295 plus shipping and $500 average installation cost. Just something to think about if you buy a car that's not converted. |

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.
