Why Diesel Cars Are Disappearing

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today, diesel engines are known to be heavy-duty, hardworking engines, most commonly found in heavy machinery. But their reputation for being fuel efficient made them a once popular choice for cars across parts of the world. Then the case for diesel seemed to crash in the 90s, when global health authorities determined diesel to be carcinogenic.

    Fun fact, Rudolph Diesel originally designed the engine for farmers to run on vegetable oil or coal dust, two fuels that farmers would normally already have on the farm, and as far as vegetable oil, could even produce themselves.

    More "fun" facts: 1. Bio - diesel has fewer harmful emissions. 2. _(edited)_ Rudolph Diesel died under mysterious circumstances. 3. After his death, Standard Oil named a filthy petroleum distillation "Diesel Fuel". 4. _(edited)_ Though Water is literally a molecule of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom, Oil Companies insisted that Fuel Cell Cars (that's : Electric Cars with a Fuel Cell instead of a Battery) get their hydrogen from cracking Natural Gas to get Hydrogen. By the way, how DO you extract the Hydrogen Atoms from Water? You "Crack it" by running electricity through water *(HELLO Green Energy Storage Method!).* In other words, the stank of the greed of oil companies may end most life on Earth if you believe in Climate Change, as I do. There are still people in jail for smoking a drug not sold by a pharmaceutical or a tobacco company but the greedy stank pigs still have their freedom, many of them not paying their share of Taxes. *See? I promised you "fun".* .

    @Retired Bore not in regards to small diesel engines. A 2-3 cylinder Kubota will weigh more then a gas engine of equal size but the efficiency is still leaps ahead of gas engine. And plus in those hp ratings it sint required to be in t4f. This are engines used to power small diesel generators that run at constant load for insane hours on end. Plus the weight isn't that much greater tbh. The use much lighter parts on those baby diesels. I can pick one up off of the ground by myself. Diesel hybrid has entered equipment more prominently recently and already it shows how absolutely amazing it is. The noise is the only thing with those that are noisy but even then new mini diesel gens in rv have also become very quiet. It's very easily durable. But I know the biggest kicker is would be too expensive

    LOL, cheating, no manfuacturer of anything is going to spend a dime more per unit than is absolutely necessary. The smoke point for diesels is 18:1 AFR, 19:1 AFR makes the best power, but no manufacturer spends for adequate plumbing on any vehicle gas or diesel. This is a classic example of another type of revolving door: mfg refuses to tune anything outside of stoich (15:1 AFR for diesels), it runs dirty, they dont care so whats mandated? Emission controls that do not properly function in external environments as well as the internal environment of such a realm of operation. Parts mfg's win, the automaker wins, green swastika can continue its uninterrupted totalitarian march of lies and mischief, but you lose especially if you don't know any better. When you realize we are not allowed to have long lasting fuel sipping and super mechanical and thermally efficient technologies, because they would not have the fat of the land under their arses and in their pockets otherwise. The amount of intentionally designed throw-away technologies is mind-boggling, I mean how else would they be able to perpetually rob us all blind over 'waste', all the while gaslighting the tech that is a known functional quality while intentionally making it turn noses away en masse. This is how things are taken away, classic collective punishment.

    I had an 89 vw jetta turbo diesel and when I got it, that thing failed emissions by a larger margin. So I grounded the car and converted it to biodiesel myself. I had it tested again about a year later and the lady couldn't believe it. The lowest emissions she had ever seen on a diesel engine. She tested it 3 times and even called someone else out with a different tester who tested it several times and it passed with flying colors every single time.

In truth a huge factor in the change in relative prices was driven by the shift in demand vs gasoline. There is a natural balance of gasoline vs diesel coming out of crude oil. In the decades past refineries had to put a lot of effort into pushing away from that natural balance towards gasoline production, so diesel prices were naturally lower per energy cost. When balance of the demand switched away from gasoline towards diesel, for a number of reasons, this wasn't so much the case. So the $ per Kj cost of the fuels (remember that diesel has more energy in it per gallon) came much closer to equal.

    The development of diesel engines into the modern units you find in passenger cars today has come at another cost to one of their strengths, lack of complexity or more to-the-point reliability. Fully mechanically controlled diesel engines would run forever if properly maintained and you did not need a Ph.D. in electronic diagnostics to service or fix them. The humble Mercedes 123 series of the 70s and 80s when used as a taxi with the four-cylinder and five-cylinder diesel would return one million kilometers regularly before overhaul. Many would go even further and the London Taxi fleet had similar data using Perkins mechanical diesel. I commonly see diesel vehicles of less than ten years of age being scrapped because the repair costs make it not worth fixing and it is all the electronic and pollution wizardry that makes it so coupled with building the engines ever lighter and less robust.

    Well researched. I liked that they expressed the scepticism towards electric trucks. I don't think we'll ever see long range trucks go electric. The underlying problem is that electric trucks would need to be 70+% battery, leaving only 30-% for cargo. Unfortunately, the batteries are pretty close to the theoretical limit of energy density, so they won't improve drastically from where they're now. The only sensible electrification for trucks would be them going hybrid.

    It seems you are wrong. Volvo, Scania and Mercedes have been running 20 ton and 40 ton electric prototypes and will go into production next year. The Tesla Semi has been running loads from Nevada to California for a few years and will see first deliveries in 2022. Modification to the tractor unit can easily support up to 4 MT of battery weight and give 200-300 miles of range towing huge loads... and the sheer power and torque of electric motors outperform the most powerful diesels. Ten years ago people were sceptical about electric cars, now they are the only growth area in the car industry and are driving out fossil fuel car sales. Battery costs are being driven down inexorably by mass production as their energy density increases year on year. It will be great to see the end of diesel in all forms of road transport.

    It’s been widely done, I’ve run diesels on vegetable oil. It works fine. As long as the fuel is flammable and offers reasonable lubrication to the high pressure side, it will run just fine. The downside is injector gumming, sticky piston rings and some very expensive bills especially on new and rather sensitive common rail systems. Veg oils work best on older, simpler diesels. This used to be a nice little solution for high U.K. fuel prices until the supermarkets caught on and made cooking oil cost as much as diesel in the first place.

How do you think humans survived for millennia before they had anything more than wood fires? Humans would not die if we stopped emitting CO2. Even plants would barely notice it. CO2 levels would not drop by half if we stopped burning fossil fuels. GHGs need to be balanced with fractions of a percent. Diesels emit far more than CO2. The main offenders are NOx emissions which destroy the ozone layer and let in cancer causing ionizing uv radiation and particulate emissions which cause respiratory problems and cancer.

I suspect that, at least with current production methods, it takes more fossil fuels to produce fertilizers for growing the bio-diesel crops than is saved by using the bio fuel. The market for bio-diesel has caused a sharp increase in the clearing of tropical forests for planting the required crops. It is also leading to an increase in food costs as farmers now have an incentive to grow bio fuel crops.

    @@joebloggs2312 yeah a diesel is most expensive initially but much less maintenance over time. Yeah parts and repair can be more expensive but in general they are less maintenance. They run cooler in general and just overall last longer. When people started to have issues is when they started putting all the emission regulated stuff on em, EGR,DEF,Diesel partical filters etc. I've got a 3/4 ton truck that gets about 20 on the highway but a gas engine making even 3/4 of the torque is going to annihilate fuel. My VW TDI gets around 52mpg and is definitely less maintenance then my gasoline engine car, especially after EGR was deleted and a better high flowing cat. I understand the point is to reduce emissions but I feel like if you're feeling up less in the first place then you are achieving the same goal you are burning less fuel. Bio diesel is extremely economic, It's easy to make and your using half the diesel #1 you would normally be using, I'm talking actual 60/40 bio diesel not the diesel #2 they claim is bio diesel.

Diesels make a lot more torque not only because of the stroke but how they "fire". They also run cooler man, which means longer lasting and things like oil changes aren't near as often. They are also extremely simple by design... You can get insane fuel mileage out of a little four-cylinder,8 valve,single over head cam diesel engine and get a half million miles out of the motor easily.

Also, Atlanta is within twice the range of a Tesla model 3, so you'd need a single Supercharger pit stop which would take 1.25 hours, NOT 10, and certainly not weeks.

    Having driven and fixed both petrol and diesel engines, i can say i do prefer diesel. One thing people seem to completely forget about is just how clean modern diesel engines are. Euro 5 and euro 6 emmissions standards are ridiculously clean, to the point that you wont smell them when they pass you on the street. Compare that to diesels made 10 and 15 years previous. Smoke, stink and far higher emmissions like soot, nox, hydrocarbons just to name a few. Petrol engines havent been cleaned up a huge amount, not to the extent that diesel got. But if they really were worked on extensively they could get extremely clean, way cleaner than the engines we have on the roads now

    My Golf TDI with the manual transmission would go nearly three times the range of the longest-range Tesla currently available on one 16-gallon tank of diesel.

Then there is the fact that I get many more miles to the gallon than the comparable petrol engine. Even allowing for the artificially higher price per litre of diesel here in the UK, I've calculated that my mileage is cheaper than my petrol powered neighbour.

    The death of diesel in standard passenger vehicles was definitely the VW dieselgate scandal. My dad had one of those cars. We got pieces of mail from VW about the compensation and how to turn it in if he didn't want to keep it. Obviously the compensation was VERY enticing and he sold it back. It was ~$14,000 for the car (2012 Jetta TDI) plus ~$5600 in compensation, so he got nearly $20k for it. He rolled that money into a gasoline powered 2015 Honda Crosstour EX-L and never thought about diesel again.

If sales are banned then what will happen to unsold diesel? Cracking it down to ligher fractions is technically possible, but too costly. Burning for heating? Possible, but cleaning up flue gases to automotive exhaust standards isn't cheap too.

    Nice video! I really liked it Even the comments were interesting to read, however some readers and drivers don't understand the issue here Yes, Diesel is efficient compared to gasoline. To burn the respective diesel, you need air. From chemistry, we remember that air contains more nitrogen than oxygen, that's why we get the NOx out the exhaust pipe (both gasoline and diesel) To remove the NOx effect, an O2 tank should be installed in each car and replace the natural air intake. Sound kinda of expensive, right? I mean, imagine having to fill up another tank, beside the one with fuel :))) (or an accident even worse) To remove particles, you need DPFs and GPFs, which should be more evolved MORE IMPORTANT: people shouldn't go to work by car in the city, unless you leave somewhere outside of it. Company should give cars to their employees, simply because they deserve it, they should give cars to those that need to stay on the road Electric vehicles are OK only for cities. If you need to go outside, and avoid headaches that you will be left on the highway, take a petrol/diesel powered car Big vehicles (bigger than 2.0) shouldn't be driven in the cities/towns. You don't need that kind of power in a city/town, unless you only want to compensate for something smaller ;) Electric vehicles should also be used in trucks and ships. Let's see them there in action, with low autonomy or solar powered Why is Europe the first to adopt such trend of EVs? Let's try with America, Africa, India-Indonesia-China(especially these three, where the pollution sky-rockets)

    With the massive developments that have been in diesel engines over the past 20 years, it is a shame to see diesel being phased out. Today’s Euro 6 classified diesel engines have extremely low emissions and are very durable so will withstand very high mileages. Even if diesel sales are plummeting, todays diesel cars will live on for another 10-15 years or more. And in heavy duty vehicles, esp long-range vehicles, diesel will still be the fuel of choice (fossil/biodiesel mix) until fuel cell (hydrogen) and possibly battery electric solutions are commonly in place.
