Environmentalists, government officials and industry leaders are heralding the nationwide arrival of the cleanest diesel fuel ever.
"Clean diesel fuel, now available across the country, enables diesel engines to operate cleaner than ever and paves the way for a new era of clean diesel trucks and passenger cars," said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum.
New clean diesel fuel is 97 percent cleaner than the old diesel fuel. That means:
Cleaner Air: Soon, manufacturers can build virtually emission-free diesel-powered trucks and buses so clean they can pass the test of a white handkerchief held over the exhaust pipe.
Greater Fuel Efficiency: Soon, consumers will see more clean diesel cars, pickups and SUVs. In addition to vastly cut emissions, diesels get 20 to 40 percent more miles per gallon than comparable gasoline vehicles.
