The Energy Bill, signed into law by President George W. Bush on Aug 8, calls for grants to automobile manufacturers to encourage domestic production of efficient hybrid and advanced diesel vehicles. Early, the president called for tax incentives to encourage diesel auto sales. Diesels cut fuel consumption and offer clean air benefits that keep improving through efforts by technology companies such as Rypos Inc. of Medway MA. In Europe, with notoriously high gasoline prices, one of every three new cars is diesel powered. On Aug 21-25, European carmakers will introduce American engineers to their latest diesel vehicles at the US Department of Energy’s (US DOE) Diesel Engine Emission Reduction (DEER) Conference in Chicago.
