#2 of 8147 Diesel lost in hoopla over hybrids... by moparbad Feb 01, 2005 (12:42 pm)
http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B1EE5B748-0A59-4- 844-ACB7-80FEA9235B1F%7D&siteid=google&dist=google Amid all the hoopla surrounding hybrid cars and fuel cell technology at this year's Detroit auto show, lost in the din was diesel, the lowly fuel of trucks and tractors now quietly touted as one of the best ways to stretch the nation's mileage.

I read in Motor Trend today that Mercedes is going to bring over a new powerful 8cyl diesel in the upcoming few years
#4 of 8147 Reducing diesel pollution commercial vehicles by moparbad Feb 03, 2005 (10:39 am)
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/02/02/BAGIGB402- 71.DTL   I'm happy to see the culprits (large commercial vehicles) of the greatest source of diesel pollution being targeted, instead of the cleanest (private passenger vehicles.
#5 of 8147 More diesels expected after 2006 by moparbad Feb 04, 2005 (6:50 am)
http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosinsider/0502/04/autos-79883.htm   Another factor, Pratt said, will be "competing technologies such as more fuel-efficient gasoline and diesel options that will be available after 2006."

#7 of 8147 Nice Engine by jrdwyer Feb 07, 2005 (10:38 am)
That engine has nice specs. I would like to someday buy a mid-sized SUV that is off-road capable (work purposes) that has this or a similar engine. 27/37 mpg in a 3800 lb vehicle is great, especially considering the massive torque.   The current Jeep Liberty diesel engine is ok, but is only rated at 21/27 mpg. Granted, the Jeep is a box of a vehicle and 500 lbs heavier. Also, thinking over the next 20 years, diesels for passenger vehicles may be critical if gasoline prices continue to go up. Europe has already shown what high fuel prices do to consumers choice of engines. And if fuel went sky high, biodiesel would surely enter the retail market as a competitor to full petrol diesel.
#8 of 8147 Cleaner fuel.... by moparbad Feb 07, 2005 (3:03 pm)
Cleaner = less emissions = more diesel vehicle options. http://www.platinum.matthey.com/media_room/1107792006.html

#10 of 8147 Cadillac Diesel by moparbad Feb 14, 2005 (1:19 pm)
http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005/02/cadillac_to_pre.html   This is a Euro only model. Doubt that we will ever see this one in North America, however, stranger things have happened. It is possible that GM-Fiat diesel engines could see use in North America if clean diesel in 2006 fuels diesel popularity.
#11 of 8147 GM-Fiat diesel power by moparbad Feb 14, 2005 (1:21 pm)
http://www.greencarcongress.com/2004/07/new_saab_diesel.html   Here is link to the diesel powertrain being used in SAAB and Cadillac vehicles in Europe.   The engine meets Euro 4 emissions.
