The other reason for that the diesel engine is favored What has tilted the balance in the favor of diesels is the new particulate filter that will be beneficial and these kind of filters were first introduced by PSA Peugeot Citroen and later the such were adopted by other companies like Toyota.
And also as engine grows old, the emission out put is more in the petrol engines compared to the diesel ones. Now the Fiat is working on the new project called NZEV (near zero emission vehicles). Fiat also started their project on common rail direct injection system. The other work that is under progress is the engines that will be free from oil change. This work was already achieved by the brains of Daimler-Benz that are ten times better than the technology that was used decades back. There are diesel direct injection engines available in the market where the oil change is needed only after 40,000km or two years compared to the petrol version, where oil change takes place between 14,400km and 20,000km.
