It finally becomes reality in the Summer of 2013. That's when the Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel hits the road running as the first clean diesel car ever produced by a North American manufacturer.
Clean diesels generate 90% less Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and particulate emissions than previous generations of diesels.
It all starts with a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine designed in Italy, built in Germany and installed in the Cruze at our factory in Lordstown, Ohio. The 2014 Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel comes equipped with the very latest clean diesel technology which helps reduce emissions while also boasting 148 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. of "low-end" torque* that you'll have to experience to believe.
Raising Excitement on Lower Emissions.
Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel emissions are below Environment Canada Emissions Standards. In fact, to even qualify for clean diesel classification, Cruze had to meet modern Tier 2 Bin 5 Emission Standards – a new generation of stringent clean diesel standards.
Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel is equipped with the latest technology, including exhaust gas recirculation, selective catalyst reduction, particulate filters and advanced fuel system components. All these technologies working together allow the diesel engine in Cruze to perform with very low Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions and very low particulate emissions.
