Nissan announces cleaner diesel technology
Nissan announces cleaner diesel technology Nissan has announced that it is to launch a new clean diesel sports utility vehicle (SUV) in Japan. The version of the current X-Trail model will feature high-performance catalysts and engine management technologies to allow it to meet new Japanese emissions standards. The M9R engine, developed with French firm Renault, is one of a new class of clean diesel technology vehicles, which are predicted to rival petrol hybrid engines as firms bid to produce energy-saving, low pollution motoring. Nissan also claims that the diesel engine could eventually meet California's strict low sulphur emissions standards. It is a decisive move for the car manufacturer as diesels represent a small proportion of the market. The diesel X-Trail will be launched in Japan in autumn 2008.
