80 type 208 test vehicles with methanol/petrol drive systems
80 Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including the 208, were involved in large-scale testing which took place as part of the "Alternative drive systems" project initiated by the German Ministry for Research and Technology. Tests were carried out with the alcohol-based fuel M 15, a mixture of 85% four-star petrol and 15% methanol. The testing was evidence of Daimler-Benz AG's activities in the area of alcohol-based fuels.
