I’m on an email list for updates and here is the first one.

THE CLEANEST, QUIETEST POWER STROKE® ENGINES EVER

The 2008 Super Duty® with the new optional 6.4L Power Stroke® Diesel is big, tough and powerful, but it’s also a clean (and quiet) machine. This is thanks to a number of effective and innovative engineering features.

Ford Clean Diesel Technology is an engineering approach which employs, among other measures:

* A high-precision, high-pressure, common-rail fuel-injection system featuring piezoelectric injectors, allowing ultra-precise timing of fuel injection for quietness, smoother, cleaner burn, reduced engine clatter, superb cold-start capability and reduced emissions.
* An advanced diesel particulate filter to help provide particulate emissions levels that are equivalent to gasoline engines. This filter scrubs black smoke from exhaust gases and periodically cleans itself via advanced engine controls.

Check out the first commercially available diesel bike gizmag.com found our friends in Holland making.

November 20, 2006 The sudden realization after several decades of evidence that the world is drowning in burned fossil fuels has catalyzed a lot of initiatives to reduce consumption and emissions, but few are as tantalizing as the prospect of diesel motorcycles which further enhance the already economical motorcycle to new levels of fuel efficiency and offer astounding torque and drivability. Though we have written about several production motorcycles such as the HDT military-only JP/8 and the Dutch-built Star Twin ThunderStar 1200 TDI diesel motorcycle, none have been available to the public in any quantity until this week’s news that a new diesel motorcycle from Holland has achieved production status and 500 will be built over the next two years.
