The Mercedes Benz OM612 engine is a 5-cylinder diesel engine with 2 overhead camshafts that drive 20 valves through pushrods. Compared to its predecessor OM604, it has 30% more power, 50% more torque and 10% less fuel consumption. An oxidation catalyst is used to clean the outlet gases. As the efficiency of the new generation engines was increased, there was not enough heat to heat the passenger compartment at low temperatures.
