If the diesel can now be fueled with biological residues and waste and soon with used cooking oil or sawdust, then we immediately think of the Beckenbauer Franz: Is it Christmas today?
Volkswagen continues to develop diesel engines. This news should be worth a press conference for the lost fuel hunters. And the main news a first message. But unfortunately it doesn’t fit into any scandalization strategy, it’s just a beautiful story that goes down like oil. Like the one that there are no driving bans in the cities, although the so-called environmental aid wanted to paralyze the whole country. That was of course before Corona, at the moment nobody has time to chase soot and particles through the village. And no reason anyway. The measuring points report green. Isn’t it because technical progress (ahem, as we predicted) has struck? Now he is throwing even more sand into the activist gear.

VW, that is the squad with a chairman who wobbles every now and then and the public commitment to put everything on the electric car. But that’s also the group that sends out press releases just before the end of the year that is worth reading. As an alternative to electric vehicles, it says, “VW releases models with the latest four-cylinder diesel engines for use with paraffinic fuels”. These newly developed diesel fuels with bio-components enabled CO2 savings of between 70 and 95 percent compared to conventional diesel engines, which are better at this than gasoline engines and can probably even compete with batteries, provided that their entire production chain is taken into account. If the diesel can now be fueled with biological residues and waste and soon with used cooking oil or sawdust, then we immediately think of the Beckenbauer Franz: Is it Christmas today?
