Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015

In less than 7 years, Mercedes-Benz plans to ditch petroleum-powered vehicles from its lineup. Focusing on electric, fuel cell, and biofuels, the company is revving up research in alternative fuel sources and efficiency.

I mean, wow, sounds like a bold plan. But can they reall pull it off?

Also one that will ensure that they stay at the cutting edge as one of the world's premier brands of vehicles.

Please don't make this some push for E85 ethanol, that stuff is a huge corn lobby scam that is not efficient to produce.

I wonder how this is going to affect all the current Mercedes employees. Do they fire their engineers and technicians? Do they send them back to school?

I´m sure that to get a job at Mercedes-Benz you need to be skilled enough to know your way around more than just a gasoline/diesel engine. This company has consistently been the main innovator in all things automobile-related for decades.
