Mazda North American Operations has just announced that its SKYACTIV-D clean diesel engine won't be launched in Canada and the U.S. this spring as originally planned.
While the SKYACTIV-D can meet emission regulation requirements without the use of an NOx after-treatment system, the Japanese automaker decided that further development is required to deliver the right balance between fuel economy and ''Zoom-Zoom'' driving performance.
Further information on the launch date for North America, technical specifications, and fuel consumption numbers will be available at a later date.
