I was reading a automotive tech mag today and I read that there are no US or European Diesel engines that can meet or have firm solutions to meet 2009-2010 diesel NOx limits. Also no US car maker has one that can meet 2008 levels either even with reduced fuel sulpher. On solution being considered is injecting urea into exhaust system (ammonia) to react with NOx and reduce it. It is currently being tested by BMW and VW and others are looking at it. One design has a urea cartridge that has to be changed for time to time and another one has two fill nozzles at pump side by side, one for urea and one for diesel into a twin receptical on vehical. The urea is being made/extracted from animal urine. This is a real deal and quite a spin of emission control and recyling!
