Yep more political bollocks, our cars in uk that fail the so called standards are exported to Africa, where the prevailing winds blow the toxins right back to Europe, diesel engines have no current competitors for things like ships, bulldozers etc etc the amount cars pump out is miniscule. So the usual knee jerk reactions from politicians, 15 years ago they said buy diesel, now they say scrap them, both on the flimsiest evidence. the public are once again being conned. The real joke is that while we do all this there is an exponential rise in countries like India and China, making our efforts insignificant. It's not new engines we need, it's new leaders.
