That seems kind of nifty. I wonder if it will make it
to the USA.

This is the google translation:

Who selects the E 200 NGT (Natural gas Technology), * a wise decision
meets. Because thus you can use two fuel variants in an engine. The
bivalent drive permits to select you at any time - even while driving -
between gasoline and natural gas fuel. And makes itself paid, because
natural gas is substantially more inexpensive than gasoline.
Additionally the environment profits: In the comparison to the gasoline
enterprise the emission values for CO2, nitrogen oxides, Carbon
monoxide and reactive hydrocarbons are substantially reduced. The
4-Zylinder compressor engine - all the same whether with natural gas or
gasoline drive - shows a convincing achievement

Or to the UK...

Unsurprisingly it's on the Dutch site (they're kings of liquefied natural
gas) but listed under petrol-engined cars...

The translation is passable.  Mostly marketing blah-blah.

Dutch? The .de TLD is for Deutsch (German).

I'm Dutch and I've never even seen an LNG powered car (I've seen some
busses I think). We do have lots of LPG cars (in fact, I own one). OTOH
I was in Kuala Lumpur recently and the airport taxi I was in had a large
white cylinder in the boot. I asked the guy what it was for and to my
surprise he replied it was LNG.

1)    Having trouble navigating the website?
Having trouble reading Dutch?  :-)

2)    Ok, LPG.  What would you call the liquid form of North Sea gas?  Isn't
that what it is?

I only saw this link in the previous thread, no Dutch links that I could
find:

LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas

LNG = Liquefied Natural Gas

Nil points for initiative.  Considering it was fairly obvious the link was
to the MB website, it should not have been difficult to work out how to get
to another country...
