At present, China has overtaken Japan as the world's second-largest consumer of oil. Chinese Government looks at more measures to save energy through petrol alternatives such as diesel. Petrol-engine passenger vehicles continue to drive forward, and there will be much greater energy consumption in the country in the future. But, many people did not realize that a diesel engine could generate equivalent horsepower to a petrol engine and save 35 per cent of the cost. Diesel technology has matured over decades of commercial application, and a successful experience in the European market has been a result of government initiatives to promote the use of diesel engines.

Take Europe as an example. In order to promote a market for environmentally friendly diesel engines, the authorities raised the price of petrol and offered an allowance for high-quality diesel. As a result, consumers care much more about the type of vehicles they purchase - whether they are petrol-powered or diesel-driven. Great efforts will be needed from the government to influence consumers' decisions. In China, diesel engine vehicles are not yet able to obtain license in Beijing, because the majority of the public still equates diesel engines with smoking trucks that severely damage the environment. Many diesel engine companies are looking forward to government regulations that will protect the environment by promoting high-quality diesel engines in the auto industry. Dongfeng, Yuchai, FAW and Weichai, etc already have mature technology to produce high-quality diesel engine. Experts believe that as time goes on, diesel engine can share more market in China. More and more people will realize diesel engine’s merits. They believe that diesel engine will be more and more welcome and utilized in many industrial fields in future.
