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.
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.
Better in what ways? I think they are a bit more efficient, but emit more particulates.
I believe that they emit less CO2 compared to gasoline powered cars, but a lot more nitrates, which are carcinogenic.
and acidic and eutrophic nutrients…

yeah, that was my question.
