Diesel Engines Are Now The New Standard

Gone are the days of the loud, smelly, and dirty diesel truck. Today’s diesel engines are cleaner, brighter, and clearer. Today there are almost 50 models of diesel engines available to customers. In 2017, it is expected to be around 60. Today’s diesel engines can go anywhere from 400 to 800 miles on a tank of gas.

Diesel engines are becoming increasingly popular in the United States and technology continues to have an answer for many disadvantages. Diesel technology enables most models to start and drive like their gasoline counterparts.

Diesel technology is continually improving–emission controls are more effective and they’re available in smaller packages. This means engines can be downsized from six cylinder to four in an array of vehicles. Advanced turbo chargers and fuel injection give the same or better performance than gasoline vehicles.

Diesel engines are now estimated with a 45 MPG highway mileage rating and are getting around 50 MPG in testing on the road, which means less stops at the pump and less gas money. The future of diesel technology is already starting today.

Combining ultra-low sulfur fuel, particulate filters, efficient diesel engines, and advanced emission controls helps the diesel engine of today roll clean into tomorrow. The emissions are comparable with a gasoline engine vehicle.

Diesel technology uses a wide range of renewable fuels that will continue to push it forward as the choice for cleaner air, lower emissions, and a more sustainable environment.
