The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300de plug-in diesel hybrid has been tested for towing a travel trailer. The vehicle achieved low fuel consumption of 10.6 l/100 km with a two-tonne trailer, but its maximum trailer weight is reduced to 2000 kg due to its high kerb weight of 2459 kg. The electric motor provides up to 116 km of range without the ICE, but fast charging is only available as an extra-cost option.

Weekly Digest #20 · May 11–17

Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.
