Like I said earlier diesels are NOT clean. Theres a reason why Mercedes has predicted the demise of them in passenger cars within ten years. It just wont be cost effective for them to keep spending massive dollars for them to meet toughening laws
The amount of NOx they produce far exceeds what a petrol engine produces, and is a reason why its nearly impossible to get a diesel passenger car in the US. Their laws are alot stricter that Europe when it comes to diesel emissions.
NOx are alot more dangerous to your health and the environment than CO2.
Diesels are also one of the leading causes of smog, and is particularly bad in Australia's environment, the emissions from Diesels react with sunlight, something they dont have to worry as much of in Europe.
