The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers knows what they are doing. If they can go directly and faster to ULS diesel instead of LS diesel, they have effectively delayed further the common use of diesel in US. They have also bought time to develop the new and necessary diesel technologies at the same phase as the competition. Hardly a move in the interest of the society and the consumers, but interesting for Detroit.
