Mercedes is planning to end the need for motorists to fill their cars with either petrol or diesel within seven years. By 2015 the vehicle manufacturers says its entire model range will run on alternative fuels - to improve costs, become more eco-friendly and because oil supplies will eventually be exhausted. Mercedes is convinced that technology such as hybrids, emission-free electric cars, clean-fuel gas engines and the further development of battery and hydrogen-powered vehicles will mean no need for petrol or diesel. The manufacturer says it will drip-feed different forms of more eco-friendly vehicles into showrooms as and when the technology has been developed over the next decade.
