From article, (“Equipped with the latest Bosch technology, diesel vehicles will be classed as low-emission vehicles and yet remain affordable.” The Bosch CEO also called for greater transparency with regard to the CO2 emissions caused by road traffic, and called for fuel consumption and thus CO2 emissions to be also measured under real conditions on the road in the future.Breakthrough: new Bosch diesel technology provides solution to NOx problem
Bosch CEO Denner also calls for transparency on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
Since 2017, European legislation has required that new passenger car models tested according to an RDE-compliant mix of urban, extra-urban, and freeway cycles emit no more than 168 milligrams of NOx per kilometer. As of 2020, this limit will be cut to 120 milligrams. But even today, vehicles equipped with Bosch diesel technology can achieve as little as 13 milligrams of NOx in standard legally-compliant RDE cycles. That is approximately one-tenth of the prescribed limit that will apply after 2020. And even when driving in particularly challenging urban conditions, where test parameters are well in excess of legal requirements, the average emissions of the Bosch test vehicles are as low as 40 milligrams per kilometer.)
Me, "I still think all car and truck producing companies should transition to Battery Electric Vehicles (because it is a Superior Technology to Internal and Diesel combustion engines. It has less maintenance issues, longer driver ownership, better resale value, 'if it still drives your okay on purchasing it, even if you have to buy a new battery pack, a high mileage used electric car costs a lot less, with all the above benefits than a high mileage used Combustion Engine car, which tend to breakdown more often with age.' and, of course, a Battery Electric car creates a lot less pollution). But I decided to add this article to my Facebook friends page to be fair to Diesel Engine fans. This article shows there are still technological leaps for Diesel Engines, if your into that thing."
