Mercedes-Benz do Brasil started a testing program in 1979 to demonstrate the feasibility of ethanol as a regular diesel engine fuel; the first phase of the program was accomplished in a normal intercity bus line which involved eight units (four alcohol fuelled and four diesel fuelled) logging about 500.000 kilometers and carrying more than 250.000 passengers, during one year with the ethanol fuelled busses. The second phase has been planned with an aim to explore the engine behaviour in a more severe service conditions; in this particular case the sugar cane industry itself, with its extreme requirements of rugged and reliable vehicles for crop transportation duties presented the most natural environment for testing. Since its inception more than 400.000 kilometers have been accumulated in various plants throughout Brazil. These two phases of testing together with the experimental fleet at Mercedes resulted in more than 2 million kilometers.
