Volkswagen's cleanest diesel engine ever

Last week, Volkswagen of America introduced its cleanest diesel engine ever produced. It's a 2.0L four-cylinder TDI that will be available in Jetta sedan and wagon body styles in the summer of 2008 (as 2009 models) in all 50 U.S. states. This innovative new engine meets the most stringent Tier II/Bin 5 standards without the use of urea injection. Instead, a nitrous oxide storage catalyst reduces NOx emissions by up to 90 percent. A particle filter further reduces emissions.
