Daimler has bowed to pressure from regulators to use a car coolant that has for years been at the centre of a dispute between the European Union and Germany.

The European Commission last year launched legal proceedings against Germany, which has backed Daimler's refusal to use the R1234yf coolant developed by U.S. conglomerate Honeywell in partnership with Dupont .

Daimler, which has said the coolant can cause fire in front-end collisions, said on Tuesday it will install a "specific protective system" in vehicles switching to R1234yf to ensure safety.

The world's third-largest maker of luxury cars has insisted on using R134a, a global warming agent that is more than 1,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide, but does not burst into flames.
