Diesel

The specific feature of the diesel engine developed in 1892 by Rudolf Diesel is the selfignition of the fuel in the hot and compressed combustion air.

This engine stands thereby in contrast to all other engines generally. In contrast to other engines as for example to the internal combustion engine the diesel engine has a very low output of embroidery oxide and hydrocarbons, he has a more favorable efficiency and therefore also a lower fuel consumption and in addition, he is by far more reliable and more long-lasting than petrol engines.

In many states so also in Germany and for example, the USA the diesel is by far more favorable than the fuel of an internal combustion engine, on account of the taxation. This difference between prices is also a reason, why 23 percent of all new carriage buyers want to buy a carriage with diesel engine in America by the next vehicle purchase.

Indeed, Diesel has at the moment in the USA only a share of the market of about three percent, however, it is expected that this will change up to 2012, because until there the interest should rise on about eight percent.


Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have already put on the market some diesel models in America. DaimlerChrysler offers in the USA now even increasingly the ecological diesel and this should also remain so. Already in 2008 the whole SUV fleet should be offered by the manufacturer Mercedes-Benz in America with the very clean and at the same time favorable technology. This trendsetting technology should also find in Europe soon the way on the market. The oil price sways at the moment very much, sometimes he is lower, sometimes higher – however, the diesel price is always the most favorable and lies at the moment between 1.08 and 1.14 what is still relatively favorable in contrast to the costs of contrast to the gas prices. And also in the future nothing will change in it, the diesel price will remain more favorable and persuade therefore more and more drivers of its achievements.
