What's with all the ///EVO badges?

I've been in Rome the past two weeks and I've seen a lot of E's with the ///EVO badge on the right side of their trunk lids. Most seem to be diesels (E270 cdi's ,etc.) and are generally post-facelift. Anyone know what they are or what gives them that designation?

It might be natural gas. A lot of cars in Italy are now natural gas but im not sure what evo would stand for.

I dunno, given that the CDI was on the left side and the ///EVO badges on the right, it probably came with the car.

Here is what they look like (check the 5th picture on the right) http://www.subito.it/mercedes-e220-c...za-5725235.htm

Cool, yeah that makes more sense. Just kept confusing me cause it looked like an AMG badge from the distance!
