Singer, musician, songwriter and environmental supporter, Sheryl Crow, is part of a growing group of well-known musicians and actors who are passionate about the benefits of Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC clean diesel vehicles. Her Mercedes-Benz R320 BlueTEC is one of today's modern diesel vehicles that are extremely quiet, environmentally clean, and can achieve a range of 500 miles on a single tank of diesel fuel.

Sheryl Crow lends her environmental support for clean diesel and pairs up with this Mercedes-Benz ML320 BlueTEC SUV. Crow says, "the newest clean diesel vehicles are eco-friendly and deserve as much attention as other gas alternatives like hybrids."

"The newest clean diesel vehicles are eco-friendly and deserve as much attention as other gas alternatives like hybrids," said Crow.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States would save 1.4 million barrels of oil a day if just one third of all light-duty vehicles in the USA were state-of-the-art diesel vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC vehicles combine a smooth, quiet ride with fuel efficiency that delivers 20-30 percent higher fuel economy than a comparable gasoline engine making it the GREEN choice for Sheryl Crow and several other celebrities including Kim Cattrall, Billy Baldwin, Kyle MacLachlan, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, and Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.

About Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC
Mercedes-Benz, considered to be the pioneer of automotive diesel technology, introduced the first BlueTEC vehicle in October 2006; which captured accolades from the auto industry and was voted "2007 World Green Car of the Year." The term "BlueTEC" is derived from the innovative AdBlue process that dramatically reduces emissions.

The Mercedes-Benz ML320 BlueTEC SUV is available in Canada as well.
