DaimlerChrysler says Diesel is good for America
DaimlerChrysler says USA should go diesel
Mon 11 Sep, 2006, 16:49
DaimlerChrysler has said that diesel must play a big part in solving the fuel crisis in the USA.
Loren Beard, Senior Manager - Fuels for DaimlerChrysler, said that, "Diesel will be good for America, and biodiesel makes diesel better."
He said that diesel engines provide 30% better fuel economy and 20% less CO2 emissions. He also pointed out that biodiesel would use 20% plant based fuel that had been grown in the USA, not imported from the Middle East.
According to the American government's own figures, if diesel had a 33% share of cars and pick-ups, the U.S. would reduce its oil consumption by up to 1.4 million barrels of oil per day. That would mean it could stop importing oil from Saudi Arabia altogether.
