Diesel smart upcoming

In March the first diesel smart car goes on the road, the smart CDI, which is so frugal in fuel usage that its 88g/km CO2 emissions are the lowest of any current production car.

The brand also recently launched a micro hybrid drive version using a stop/start technology that is claimed to reduce fuel consumption by 24 percent in city use.
And a pioneering market trial of 100 fully electric smart fortwos is also underway in the UK.

Smart car sales increased by over 40 percent in Britain last year.
