VAG (Audi) Clean Diesel to Run in Coast-to-Coast (USA)

North America will soon discover Audi TDi (turbocharged) clean diesel technology, which has earned media attention and consumer praise throughout the world for its exceptional fuel efficiency and dynamic performance. This means that USA is at last waking up to great technology.

Question here : can they do better then Peugeot with its HDi equiped with particle filters ?
In Europe, there is an incrediblibly productive fight between VW and Peugeot for the best diesel maker.

I would like once to see a coast-to-coast competition between the leading car diesel manufaturers such as :
PSA (Peugeot-Citroen), VAG (VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat), Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.



These TDi motors have been around for quite a while now and they were very popular in Quebec proving that disel can run in severe wintery conditions. I remember when my father proudly arrived at my place with his new VW Jetta powered by a 1.6 L TDi which was tested throughout the roads of Quebec for more than 250 000 kms without any problems. I was suprised how smoothe the engine could be even if sounded like a very old farmer tractor at start-up.

Myself, I am very pleased by the services of my 1.9 L TDi well suited for a sedan or saloon car like our Audi 80. After 220 000 km, it is still featuriıng milleage around 6 L per 100 kms.

When are we going to have an hybrid with diesel ? I know that PSA is preparing one.
Here is the VW project:
