Here is a summary of the projected credits from ACEEE. tax credits
There is a lot of misinformation in the news about tax credits for diesels in the new energy bill.
If you want a tax credit you will have to buy a hybrid, buy it on or after 1 January 2006, AND be one of the 1st 50000 people to buy a hybrid from that manufacturer since there is a 50,000 cap for each manufacturer to particpate in the program.
Keep us up to date!

American system:
* simpler
* might require less upkeep
German system:
* more efficient
* can be deployed on a smaller scale
* faster
Looks like our culural engineering approaches strike again.

Hey, if this guys machine/technology actually works (with or without cats) , he will be quite the rich dude pretty soon.
garbage we ain't gonna be running out of soon!
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
But laggards such as Toyota and General Motors Corp. argue that upcoming US regulations for nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter would require too much spending on research and development.
Interesting.
A bit extreme.
Is the regen braking merely to store power for starting the engine, which apparently stops on deceleration?

Where are the diesels for US?
If this engine was offered in the Magnum or Charger I'd be willing to give up a body part for one.
With its higher compression, I would speculate that there would be even greater benefit to lowering the exhaust removal penalty. If it is 13% improvement for gasoline, it should be 20% in a diesel.

All those 2.8L diesels lined up is a beautiful thing!

A big Nissan diesel in a spray rig. Not even sure what it is, it came from Japan from one of their programs.
Sad thing is I can't buy a diesel for a passenger type vehicle or small pickup here in CA.

Each the manufacturers make a fairly efficient engine, but they have ones in their line up that are not so great.
Nissan actually had a small diesel pickup that they sold in the US in the 80's. My brother in law owns it now. It is hard to get parts. Your comment--Nissan makes a diesel? is pretty common. They are big overseas.

Does Dodge specify synthetic for the 05 and newer Cummins?
I am reminded everytime I hook up an implement and fill my tractor, I stink like fuel and exhaust for quite some time. Good ol' boy once told me I needed a propane tractor, wife is a lot more agreeable to kissing a propane man than a diesel man.
