U.S. Diesel standards were much stricter than Europe's for decades. I worked
with Mercedes and they were troubled by the challenge.but they met it. Europe
was more or less pulled along.

Actually, Paul;
The standars for emissions have been phased in gradually, in "tiers". There's
been a strong push from the car mfgs, starting at least a decade ago, to make authorities
in both the EU, USA, Japan and others harmonise the timing of the phase-in.
There's no more "banning" in the US than elsewhere, so sales drops are more
likely due to other factors such as customer preference or market-regulating import
tariffs.

The U.S. Diesel particulate and NOx standards effectively banned them here.
Mercedes , BMW and GM have been able to meet the standards with urea
injection and filters, but the tuning was somewhat crippling.
Volkswagen and Audi got around it by cheating. Diesels are all but
deadfor cars in the U.S. still viable for light trucks.

The trend here in India is for Diesel Cars as Diesel Fuel is 30%
Cheaper than Petrol.
And Trucks, Busses, Tractors, Trains. Generators etc were always Diesel.
What a waste in transporting just one chap in one vehicle. Our roads
are chock a block with
traffic moving at snails pace during the Office Commute Hours.
In Delhi, India's Capital, ODD & Even numbered cars ply on alternate
days, such are the levels
of pollution, smog & fog so as to disrupt Flights, Trains & Highway traffic.
