Volvo Cars said on Tuesday that it will end production of any remaining diesel models by early 2024 as it heads towards becoming an all-electric carmaker.
weren't those volvo diesels better in many ways? or have i got it backwards? yay for the fossil fuel industry in confusing me, so fuck you shell.
ahem, fuck you: BP.
does anyone even know the names of these shits in order to condemn them
The efficency of diesel engines gets lowered when using proper particulare filters, catalysts and NOx resorption with uric acid. So at best the CO2 benefits are marginal.
"Burns slower"? Are you talking about the engine rpm or cetane value? Neither really has anything to do with cost per unit.
Generally diesels are more efficient and reliable to their gas counterparts and the better low end torque makes them better for hauling loads. Also better at engine breaking when combined with a manual transmission, so very suitable for mountainous European countries.
