Diesel powers key sectors of the global economy including essential public health and safety services, transportation, freight movement, construction, agriculture, mining, and other industrial sectors. To learn more about how, where, and why diesel technology fits in today’s policy discussions about emissions, climate change, infrastructure, sustainability, renewable fuels, and more, see below.
Economy
With its unmatched combination of energy density, fuel efficiency, power and performance, diesel engines are the primary technology driving 15 key sectors of the U.S. economy.
Economy
The economy moves on diesel and the industry is responsible for generating employment opportunities for millions of Americans
Economy
Clean diesel cars and pickups help us conserve resources and reduce emissions. Find out how motor fuels tax policy plays an important role in promoting a sustainable transportation choice.
Energy
Diesel is the lifeblood of the global economy. It is the most energy-efficient internal combustion engine with a record of continuous improvement that now achieves near-zero emissions. The ability for all diesel engines to utilize low-carbon renewable biofuels further positions diesel to play a key role in our sustainable future.
Energy
First and second generation bio-based diesel fuel help improve air quality, reduce emissions and make diesel part of our sustainable and secure energy future.
Environment
The latest clean diesel technologies are now found in the wide variety of off-road equipment helping to reduce emissions and save fuel.
Environment
Tackling the climate challenge will require many fuels and technology solutions; the advanced generation of diesel is one of them
Environment
The earth's climate is changing
Environment
Modernizing and upgrading existing diesel engines and equipment can be cost effective and offer immediate, significant, emissions reductions to some diesel engines, vehicles, and equipment
Environment
The $2.9 billion Environmental Trust included in the VW settlement provides funding for states to upgrade or repower older vehicles and equipment to rapidly reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) that contribute to ground level ozone, or smog.
Economy
States and the federal government levy taxes on transportation fuels delivered to the consumer but state taxes and fees are not uniform across all states. Where does your state fall?
Environment
Diesel continues to serve as an efficient fuel source with near-zero emissions helping to provide clean air benefits to communities here at home and around the globe.
