Mercedes-Benz offers subsidies to retrofit older diesel cars in Germany
Monday, 7 October 2019
BERLIN, Oct 06 (Reuters): Daimler said Mercedes-Benz customers in Germany could apply for a 3,000 euro ($3,350) subsidy to upgrade the exhaust filters of older, polluting diesel vehicles, the latest effort among German carmakers to avoid inner-city bans.
Carmakers have been forced to consider upgrading exhaust treatment systems on older cars after German cities started banning heavily polluting diesel vehicles to cut fine particulate matter and toxic nitrogen oxides.
Daimler launched a website this week to process applications for financial support.
