Renault may not sell here but Nissan could use this small-diesel two-stroke for passenger cars. A clean and power-dense power per stroke engine could be suitable as future powerplants. A twin-charged (supercharger + turbocharger) 0.73 liter capable of producing 67 hp at 88 lbs! The powerband is still very narrow and emissions are getting stricter so lots of work is still in the works. Diesel-electric hybrids is the best direction.
