The Ruggerini MD191 and Lombardini 25LD425-2 (same engine, really) are better options if you can find them. Significantly lighter weight, significantly better build quality.
And, not sure how Brazil's laws are, but in the US, running one of those on public roads is just as legal as running a diesel Smart engine - that is, not at all. (Unless you build a three-wheeler, and then license it as the one EPA-exempt motorcycle that you are allowed to build in your lifetime. Or, if you make a serial hybrid, with the generator not being a part of the vehicle, then it only needs to meet off-road emissions standards.)

Not exactly true in fact you can run an industrial diesel all day long legally on our roads in the right cars! It is simple to get a 4 wheel car with an industrial diesel engine licensed. Not sure what state you are in but I have begun researching each state law and so far I have completed all the western states and not 1 would give you any problems!
The funny thing is these engines are less polluting than our current gas cars with all the catalytic converters and other emissions equipment that help jack up the costs and put money in the industry via dealerships.
You would never have to take an industrial diesel to a dealership cuz they are so simple and easy to fix on your own no fancy education or tools required. You just need your service manual and determination to get the job done on these guys.
