Still think that electric cars are not yet prime time, you are still a guinea pig if you buy one.

Only a few years back those same "experts" told us diesel was good for the environment,
At least with hydrogen all it could do is explode.
Diesel was never said to be good for environment. :D
Diesel is the panacea to all ills - we die slowly.

I never thought I would see those four words in the same sentence.

Why not
Oxymorons are invariably ambiguous. Its like having politicians and truth in the same sentence.

You have a short memory :p

Diesel was promoted as a more environmentally friendly fuel as part of the EU’s response to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO₂). Diesel engines are “lean-burn”, meaning they use less fuel and more air to get the same performance as a petrol engine.

According to modern science, using diesel fuel reduces the harmful CO2 emissions that contribute to global warming. Diesel engines are more efficient than gas engines. So even though diesel contains more carbon than gas, efficient diesel engines emit less of it into the air.

It’s a shame that Diesel engines are demonised and the subsequent knee jerk reaction that ensues. Of course they are not perfect - no form of transport is. They really have come on massively over the years and I am sure would get more environmentally friendly had Gvts not forced manufacturers down the electric route and diverting R&D budgets away from internal combustion engines.

As I mentioned earlier I love my diesel engined SUV it’s suites my life style given where I live and I am satisfied that it has a modern engine that it does it best to reduce pollution. No doubt some members on this forum will lambast me for my views and even try to shut me down for having a view they disagree with - I really don’t care.

Each to their own. I had an A6 Avant with the 3L diesel engine. It was superb for my needs then but now my needs have changed so its a Q5 hybrid. However, I can't see myself having a pure EV yet as the technology and support infrastructure are positively primitive.

Where in any of the quote does it say its good for the environment? No ICE car is although politicians have claimed some are better/worse than others. I stand by my original post 😉

It could be argued no vehicles ICE or Electric are good for the environment There is even pollution apparently caused by tyre particles when driven. We are also yet to see mountains of exhausted batteries accumulating and the environmental consequences of this. Yes some precious metals will be recycled. Millions of perfectly good EV’s will eventually be written off prematurely due to the end of the life of the battery and the lack of cost effectiveness of fitting new batteries. great!

Seems you have difficulty reading / comprehending :ROFLMAO:>
"reduces the harmful CO2 emissions that contribute to global warming"
'Reduces' compared to worse polluting engines. That doesn't mean its good for nature. Not as terrible, yes, but def not beneficial to nature.
You seem to have forgotten, this is what you actually said >>

We were told reducing by green house gas emissions diesel was good for the environment.
Admit it, you were wrong :rolleyes:
Better than other alternatives. No vehicle is good for the environment. Did anyone really think driving a diesel was beneficial to nature? Come on 😁
I love diesel SUV’s
I love mine as well :love:
