They want to shoot the diesel, not because it's polluting, but because a direct injection engine, even though it pollutes even more, is lighter, cheaper to produce and therefore, the margins are greater. Here we see all the collusion between the politicians and the industrialists who impose on peoples what suits them, even if they lie outright.

GuyGadebois is unfortunately right:
"The Brussels-based NGO has selected three compact sedans driven by gasoline direct injection engines - the 1.0 Ecoboost, the Ford Focus Tourer, the Hyundai i40 Kombi 1.6 GDI and the Renault Mégane 1.2 TCE - to measure pollutant emissions. The result is impressive: on the current NEDC homologation cycle, these petrol cars emit between 4 and 8 times more particles (in number) than the currently authorized standard ... for diesel engines. And even up to ten times more for the Renault 1.2 TCE engine when measured on the US US 06 cycle, more realistic than the European NEDC. "
