Scania has diesel that uses ethanol.
However if you read carefully, I was referring to EPA study and asking source or link to that, as in that study diesel is made not diesel, by installing spark plugs, and making engine to more or less gasoline engine, except compression is not touched, which is rather interesting as compression is very high.
So even originally motor would be diesel, it would not be diesel after changes. Scania's way of doing it is completely different of course, better not to get that mixed too much into this, but here is link, it is really old news, but some might have missed it.
