Economics, Efficiency, Readiness, will Propel Diesel Power into Key Role Helping Tackle Unprecedented National Challenges

The Congress and President-elect Obama are now looking for a way forward through a sea of challenges. From an economic stimulus package to a new green technology economy, a range of near-, mid- and long-term policy options is being considered. Meeting the mutual goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reliance on imported oil and increasing the use of renewable fuels has been identified as a top priority. New policy options will identify which industries and technologies likely to play a leading role. Clean diesel technology is uniquely poised to play a leading role in addressing each of these current national challenges.

Drivers looking to save money at the pump now have two more options with the U.S. introduction of two high-performance, fuel-efficient diesel BMW models, the 335d and the X5 xDrive35d. These two vehicle models, equipped with BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance will meet the emissions requirements to be sold in all 50 states. Both vehicles also qualify for a federal tax credit of $900 and $1,550 respectively and are more than 30 percent more fuel efficient than the gasoline version.
Another diesel BMW won the 2008 World Green Car of the Year (http://dieseltechnologyforum.cmail2.com/l/579632/46ii2dr1/j), the European BMW 118d Advanced Diesel at the 2008 New York International Auto Show. These technology advancements are part of BMW’s efforts to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in all its vehicles.

New York Holds Public Hearings on Diesel Regulation

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation will hold three public hearings in late November on its proposed rulemaking for the use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and Best Available Retrofit Technologies (BART) in certain state heavy-duty vehicles. Vehicles subject to the ULSD and BART requirements are also subject to chip reflash requirements prior to the installation of any BART device.
