Diesel cars are better for the environment, last longer, and produce less emissions. This is why more people should switch to diesel cars for the future! One way to help encourage more people to switch their diesel cars is by making certain that your state mandates that all new vehicles sold on retail showrooms must be diesel.
The environmental benefits of switching from traditional gasoline engines to low-emission diesel engines have been well documented, but it seems that we are still far away from a world where everyone drives a diesel car. However, there is one way you can make this happen: by purchasing a new vehicle off-the-showroom floor or ordering it online. It’s important to distinguish between the two. Oftentimes, people think of buying a vehicle off the showroom floor as a new vehicle purchase, but there are some exceptions to this. For example, when buying an existing vehicle from an individual or a private party, it does not have to be brand new.
The best way to encourage greater adoption of diesel vehicles is by making certain that all new cars sold in retail showrooms must be diesel-powered. Most states already have laws requiring automakers (and private sellers) to provide buyers with a choice of diesel or gasoline engines for purchase by their customers, so think of legislation mandating that all new cars sold at retail must come equipped with diesel engines. The more that people are exposed to the benefits of diesel cars, the more likely they are to purchase a diesel-powered vehicle.
The primary benefit of switching to a diesel engine is the fact that diesel engines produce less emissions than their gasoline counterparts. That’s why more and more states are requiring automakers to produce both gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles in their new car lineups. In order for car buyers to feel confident in purchasing a vehicle that meets their needs, it’s important for them to know that the car won’t break down or produce harmful emissions. Consumers need to know that their investment will last for years.
Because diesel engines have fewer moving parts than a gasoline engine, they last longer. In fact, the average diesel engine can last anywhere from 300,000 to 750,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. While this might be less than what your current household appliances can provide you with, it’s important to remember that cars are not household appliances.
Diesel engines also produce less carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gasses than a gasoline engine. That said, some critics say that because many new diesel-powered vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission over a manual transmission (which generally produces more greenhouse gas emissions), the greater fuel efficiency of the diesel engine is negated by the increased CO2 emissions produced by an automatic transmission.
Bottom line
If you want to help encourage more people to switch to diesel vehicles, think of mandates requiring all new cars sold in your state to be diesel-powered. Off-the-showroom floor vehicles are exempt from this rule, but don’t let that dissuade you from getting a diesel car. Why? Because it’s important for everyone to know that their new vehicle is efficient, won’t break down, and will last for a long time.
