In the 1970s and 80s, diesel passenger cars had a bad reputation because they were loud, smelly, underpowered and plagued with failures. Unfortunately, this public perception of diesel technology has persisted and is still unfairly influenced by these outdated beliefs.
Modern technological advancements, however, have drastically changed diesel technology for the better. The new technology, now called “clean diesel” creates 25% less CO2, 30% better fuel economy and 50% more torque as compared to its gasoline powered counterpart. Clean diesels do, however, come with an initial price premium and usually a higher price for diesel at the pump. However, numerous studies done by the University of Michigan Transportation Institute have shown you end up saving anywhere from $2,000-$7,000 by owning a clean diesel vehicle after just 3 years.
The old stereotypes and price premiums have made it difficult to get the general public’s interest in clean diesels even though the data being generated is overwhelmingly positive. Clean diesels need to be rebranded, and we need your help to correct the inaccurate perceptions and bring the clean diesel to the forefront of the general consumer’s mind when considering their next new vehicle purchase.
