The future of diesel in the auto industry

Automotive World talks to a variety of automotive industry stakeholders about the long-term prospects for diesel in the mainstream automotive industry

Special report: The future of diesel in the auto industry

Once so heavily promoted for its fuel efficiency and CO2 performance, diesel is now a byword for pollution. Volkswagen’s Dieselgate scandal may be credited with triggering its demise, but questions were already being asked. The debate has shifted firmly from ‘clean diesel’ to clean air, with cities battling smog and NOx – and those clean-up campaigns have diesel in the crosshairs. As far as mainstream passenger cars are concerned, the future doesn’t look good for the oil burner; the question is, what are the long-term prospects for diesel in the mainstream automotive industry?
