Stamping hard on diesels would of course very much set back the

Ford had lean-burn petrol engines all ready for production, but
canned them when the EU decided that diesel was the 'future'.

They canned them because they couldn't meet the emissions laws while
CAT equipped cars could.

Possibly because none of the contributors so far have a EuroVI diesel?

We have one, but what about it?

Eu6 engines reduce the amount of Nox emitted. There are ways of
achieving this but, on larger engines, the most frequent method is by
what is known as 'selective catalytic reduction' and this reequires
Adblue to work.

Smaller engines can use Nox traps but these don't work on lots of diesel
engines nor at high temperatures.

I dunno why - but they don't.
