Honda's new diesel drivetrain generates and stores ammonia within a two-layer catalytic converter to turn nitrogen oxide into harmless nitrogen.

They must have a massive R&D department.

Just a reminder, I believe the UK is imperial gallons which is 5quarts.

OK so has anyone seen whether or not this will meet the CARB states requirements? Just wondering because any diesel advancement that gets more diesels on the road and generates interest in diesels is good for the overall diesel enthusiast in this country. CARB states seem to be the economic make or break for new vehicles so if this were CARB legal it would be huge news, if it is not CARB legal its stilla neat engineering feat.

They must have a massive R&D department. Or just folks who think outside of the box! Only a few Japanese cars (to me) are not bland looking ... the styling just doesn't do much for me. But they are very well engineered, under-go rigirous testing and have higher quality components than German or American cars do. I have owned several Japanese cars and they have rarely ever needed more than routine maintenance. When they have needed more, it has been minor flaws. If Honda comes out with a diesel in the U.S., many diesel-shy people will buy one to gain the added economy, simply because it's a Diesel from Honda.

Scooped again by the japanese. As they say in french: ils les fait, mais no les roulez (they can build em, but not drive em)

I mean way of thinking when I got a new 04 Sienna as our family hauler. Turns out, Toyota still suffers from first year glitches just like crappy american cars Must be cause its assembled in the states. LOL-jk With that said, I'd still line up to buy a honda diesel..... they do engines very well

They must have a massive R&D department. Or just folks who think outside of the box! The Honda EU series generators are a work of art, if not outright magic. They're quiet enough that you can hold a conversation around them, and they sip gas. We bought one a couple months ago for hurricane season and I've run it every weekend (with no load) to keep the starter battery charged. I checked the gas in it this weekend and it looks like it may have sucked up less than half a cup of gas in a total of 8 hours running. (Yes, under load it will drink much faster.) Maybe they could make a drop in replacement for the CRD? The Element and Pilot are horrid. I hope they put their new diesel in something deserving.

On this link there is a pic of the diesel engine and a big explaination of the NOx capture system. It isn't actually too much different than MB in the end. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/09 ... iews_.html

While looking around on the Honda and Toyota sites for the UK (specifically to look at the diesel options) I noticed that the CRV with the diesel gets something like 48 MPG combined. darn the US for having to be "different." Why couldn't they just use the European emission standards for diesels, afterall look how many new cars are sold in Europe with diesels.

Quote: Just a reminder, I believe the UK is imperial gallons which is 5quarts. OK that is still about 38-40 MPG. Pretty good for a SUV. (But it is still not a JEEP )

I would be defintely interested in checking out a diesel made by Honda. Like I heard once," Honda is an engine company that just happens to build cars also.

If the articles are correct, the Honda diesel will be Tier 2 Bin 5 compliant. Tier 2 Bin 5 is the "50 state standard".
