That's what it looks like.
While they're more efficient with electric drive, it all boils down to how clean your electricity really is.

My truck of choice based on what is offered now in the US would be a 2003 Cummins. It had common-rail, but did not have any of the emission stuff that is now required.

While it may be seen as more polluting, it's actually less poisoning.
None of the particulate filters really filter or eliminate the soot.
They all make the particles smaller, and thus more harmful.

Usually we tend to repeat the US's errors in Europe.
This is your chance NOT to repeat ours : don't buy into the
clean-diesel lies !
