What is Clean Diesel?

Clean diesel combines more eco-friendly fuel, developments in engine technology, and effective emissions controls.  This ensures that there will be little to no harmful emissions when in use.  The new Ultra- Low Sulfur Diesel contains 97%less sulfur than the older diesel, which immediately cuts soot emissions by 10%. Since 2010 diesel vehicles have improved an average of 5% fuel efficiency, which may not seem like much. But it would takes one of any truck made before 1998 to equal the emissions of 60 trucks made it 2010. Clean diesel in my mind will play a huge role in helping to meet clean air objectives in the future.
