Audi used Turbo-diesel technology to win several LeMans races.
Puegot won with turbo-diesel this year.
Nothing new here, except the possible popularity for passenger vehicles in the US big IF the government will allow it.
VW’s Jetta TDI is a 2.0 liter engine, which gives 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway.
I don’t think you understand. This is not a typical turbo. Read the wikipedia article on “turbo-compounding”.
“Nothing new here, except the possible popularity for passenger vehicles in the US big IF the government will allow it.”
Why should gov’mt have any say whatsoever in this at all?
They won’t, they don’t want to increase the supply of diesel in the country.
This goes against the strategy of “Energy Denial” that the libs are executing.
Even though it would be more efficient, they will oppose it because it defeats a bigger goal of destroying the average persons’ energy freedom. If you can get better mileage and diesel’s cost stays the same, you will drive more and this is not good. If they make more diesel so you can all drive more diesel cars and thus be freer, and even though pollution will be down because it’s cleaner now, they don’t want us to have all this energy we can use.
They believe we are using too much, and so they oppose cleaner technology because that allows us to use more without harming the environment (control is important, not the environment); they oppose new exploration and development of US sources of oil and coal and gas (because control is important, not energy independence OR energy abundance); and they oppose the cleanest and newest designs in nuclear (because control is important, not the environment, cheap energy, or clean energy).
They are in the process of taking us down as a superpower. They are forcing us to remain dependent on foreign energy, wasting our money on windmills, they are tanking the currency that will ultimately lead to hyperinflation by printing so much of it but there’s nothing backing it.
We have to get the country back fast or it’s all over and global government and national sovereignty are gone. These people are traitors and need to be exposed as such. This isn’t just incompetence, it’s deliberate destruction and takeover.
