Monday, October 12, 2009
Diesel engines - to the average American consumer, those two words conjure up smoke-filled tailpipe emissions and deafening noise. But in Europe, diesel engines have long been a major part of efforts to gain more miles per gallon while reducing emissions. That technology has been steadily slipping in to the USA.
Diesels and diesel-hybrids may play a large role as we strive to make our vehicles more efficient and cut down on pollution. They offer great advantages - utilizing proven technology allowing a car to perform while still conserving fuel. Diesels also extend the lifespan of a vehicle, meaning that cars become less disposable, while the diesel engine is much more adaptable to renewable and biofuels, making it a possible transfer platform as fuels change.
The diesel engine - greener than you may think.
