Several countries including the UK and Holland in Europe are about to ban the diesel engines, French authorities also have similar intentions, what does this show? A reduction in number of users or a straight death of diesel engines. There are several car producers working in favour of the diesel engines and trying to invent new technologies to control the carbon emissions of diesel engines.
In the past years, Volkswagen tried to do so but their unethical practice has played a vital role to hit the campaign badly. The dieselgate scandal was one of the largest scams in the history of car production. They cheated the CO2 levels with the help of softwares in cars. It was enough to demoralise the fame of the diesel engines.
Let’s start with our home; the mayor of London has put a ban on the diesel cars that they cannot enter the congestion areas in the capital which is the first sign of danger for diesel engines.
Boris Johnson is leading a massive anti-diesel campaign in the UK and he believes that the diesel cars are the major cause of pollution and spreading diseases among the people. He started the hybrid electric London buses and gave a strong message to the diesel engine manufacturers that there is no future of diesel engines in the UK.
The German government is also giving strong signals that they are also very serious about diesel engines and are making plans to get rid of the diesel engine cars in the near future. They have already selected couple of large cities in Germany to test and trial. Out of the majority of large cities across the nation, most cities are ready to test and trial the ban.
It is not the first time when antique diesel engines are about to face problems and will face a ban beneath strict environment laws in the Europe. These laws are under practice since 2008, when the number of cities in Germany started complying with these laws for low emissions and created zones known as Umwelt Zone in Germany.
In order to enter into these zones or access these areas, your vehicle needed to have an engine complying with at least a Euro 4 pollution rating. In the past couple of years, diesel engines have become very advanced and in some cases they are complying with euro standards now. But the problem still persists with the poor diesel engines, even they are muscular than petrol engines and has less carbon emissions as well.
Last year, Paris did a strange practice and totally banned the vehicles in the capital city, only tiny cars were allowed to get into the city. It was an act of reducing the carbon levels in the air.
The governments and regulatory authorities across the countries where these Environmental Zones and Euro 4 Emission zones are working, they have differentiated the vehicles according to the emission levels.
The vehicles with euro 4 level bought a green label for the windscreen to display whereas the Euro 3 and Euro 2 automobiles purchased a yellow and red label, respectively. In order to understand the actual physical appearance of these labels, you can say that these labels are alike the tax discs in the UK.
In steps with the areas committed to Environmental Zones, the latest was presented on the 1st of April last year at Marburg, bringing the number to as much as fifty three, with fifty one in every of them required a green sticky label to access these areas.
On the other hand, after diesel gate grew to be worldwide scandal in 2015, government and promoters have had to admit that obsessing over CO2 emissions.
As the situation is getting worse in European countries they are pushing the diesel engines back. Global sales have not been hit badly but when it comes to the European countries, there is a horrible situation to face.
A bad news for the diesel engine producers that diesel engine sales which account for around 1/2 of the overall sales in the UK and European Union in the new vehicle markets. These sales have badly decreased in the past years and the trend is still continuing, people prefer to buy petrol cars or the electric hybrid cars.
For business automobiles – of the kind that would spend all day on the roads – the diesel share was very close to 100 percent and it is still trying to get stable. It’s no shock that many German authorities have recoiled at outlawing any vehicle that didn’t have a Euro 6 emission ranking.
In the end, there are several forces working against the diesel engines and in the market they are spreading bad words for diesel engines, which is directly pushing the trend graph slightly towards the developed Euro 5 standards. It is also believed that soon the Euro 4 and Euro 5 would instantly find themselves banned from 51 city centers in Germany and then gradually across Europe.
On the other hand, it doesn’t get to the bottom of the diesel respects. Consistent with the Euro 6 legal guidelines, NOx exhaust emissions should not be above eighty milligrams per kilometer.
