In a clever PR touch, Volkswagen will bring 102 of its new Polo BlueMotions to Geneva. That's one vehicle for each gram of CO2 the car emits per kilometer it drives (in testing, at least). We know a little about the car (see here) and the other goodies VW is bringing to the show (like the Passat BlueMotion you can see below), but not much about these: the Caddy Life Edition concept car and the Multivan Panamericana and VW's 'Future of the Car' interactive display. All the company is saying now is, "At present we do not have any further details on these cars, other than what you already know!" Thanks a lot, VW. We're ready to stop waiting now.

The new Vision C 220 BlueTec from Mercedes is coming to Geneva with fuel consumption of just 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers and an emissions control system that is ready to meet the Euro 6 standard, which doesn't kick in until 2015. Benz drivers will still feel comfortable with an engine that has a peak output of 125 kW (170 hp) and a peak torque of 400 Nm. Mercedes-Benz is displaying the BlueTec emission-control technology with a consumption-optimized four-cylinder engine for the first time at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show.

Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of DaimlerChrysler AG and Head of the Mercedes Car Group, says that, "The sophisticated four-cylinder diesel engine with BLUETEC emission control is a prime example of leading-edge, future-compatible technology. Our diesel strategy is an effective answer to the question of how to save fuel and, therefore, CO2, to further reduce all exhaust emissions including NOx and yet still ensure effortlessly superior driving enjoyment. In this respect, we believe our state-of-the-art diesel concept is currently the best and most efficient solution available."

We say thanks. The DC press release is after the jump, and we've got two high-resolution photos available.
