If You Have an Idea For Pro-Ecology, You Can Choose a Diesel Car

It has been known that the diesel car was noxious to the environment. Actually, the government selected cars which were produced between 2005 and 2009, and investigated which one was applicable to the low pollution-causing car. In the government report, the diesel cars, using light oil, have many NOx(Nitrogen Oxide) and PM(Particulate Matter) emissions which other cars didn't have. So, the government levied the Environmental Improvement Fund on the diesel cars.
However I insist that we don't need to pay the Environmental Improvement Fund because of the 'Clean Diesel Engine' and the fuel-efficiency. The 'Clean Diesel Engine' can reduce the NOx and PM emissions, which are the primary faults of the diesel engines, by adopting oxidation catalysts and DPF(Diesel Particulate filter).
And when you compare a Tuscon gasoline model with a Tuscon diesel model, you can be startled at the result as follows: The fuel-consumption of diesel cars are 10.1ℓ/㎞ and gasoline cars are 12.4ℓ/㎞ each. And also if you drive a gasoline car, you can emit more CO₂ gas(about 21g/km).

In the DTF(Diesel Technology Forum), a new generation of clean diesel is fueling an even greater environmental progress. So, the total emissions of the six principal air pollutants have declined by 53% since 1970. The diesel engine emission levels will also be near zero by 2010 - a total reduction of 98% from 1988.

Now, the diesel car is not just fuel-efficient. It can be a match for the hybrid car which represents the pro-ecology car. Europe, Japan, and America have already set the rule to give tax breaks to vitalize the clean diesel market. Korea has tabled a revised bill to tax breaks for clean diesel and an electric car. Let's hope for the revolutionary change in the clean automobile market.
