Report: US New-Diesel Registrations On The Rise

Diesel hasn’t had the best reputation in the United States since the early 1980s. A new report says this attitude has changed as of late.



According to Edmunds , IHS Automotive found in its report for the Diesel Technology Forum a double-digit increase in U.S. new-diesel registrations, jumping 13.5 percent between 2013 and 2014 to 7.4 million vehicles. California, Massachusetts and Nevada lead the rest of the country in those registrations.


Greater fuel economy, cleaner diesel technology, and more vehicles with diesels — like the BMW X5, Volkswagen Jetta and Chevrolet Cruze — are helping to fuel the spike in registrations, despite diesel still being more expensive at the pump per gallon than regular gasoline.
