MERCEDES-Benz's decision to pause its US diesel plans represents another blow to the technology's already small and diminishing share of auto sales in the country.
Daimler AG's luxury car brand cited the tiny share of the market diesels occupy and the "increased effort" needed to obtain approvals from US environmental regulators as the reasons why it halted efforts to obtain certification to sell 2017 model year diesel versions of its C-Class sedan, GLE SUV and other cars. It said it may return to the market in the future.
