DaimlerChrysler's headquarters gate barricaded by Greenpeace activists Greenpeace activists barricaded the access road to DaimlerChrysler AG's headquarters in Stuttgart for five hours by setting up 28 hospital beds at its main gate to dramatize their protest against carmakers who do not equip diesel-powered cars with diesel emission filters. The activists and the beds were forcibly removed by police, a Greenpeace spokeswoman said. She said similar protests are planned against other car companies in the future to drive home the message that new and old diesel cars must be equipped with emission filters. DaimlerChrysler, reacting to Greenpeace's protest today, said in a statement it is constantly working on developing engines that reduce emissions and particles from fuel wastes. "In our diesel motors, the priority is for a balanced reduction of all relevant emissions and not just of particles," it said, adding when it comes to such efforts, Mercedes-Benz is a leader in the world's automotive industry. © AFX News Story filed: 15:46 Wednesday 6th November 2002 Biofuels at Journey to Forever http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel at WebConX http://webconx.green-trust.org/2000/biofuel/biofuel.htm List messages are archived at the Info-Archive at NNYTech: http://archive.nnytech.net/ To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
