Ford bringing Diesel models to US

If there’s enough customer demand, Ford may consider selling passenger cars with diesel engines in the U.S. market. That’s what Ford director of powertrain research Dan Kapp told Ward’s Auto when pressed on the availability of turbodiesel cars on our shores.

Currently, Ford only offers diesel engines in the U.S. in its large pickup trucks but turbo-diesel engines are available for almost all of Ford’s European-market cars. Kapp said that he’d like to bring diesel-powered cars to the American market — they could help Ford meet stricter fuel-economy requirements — but doing so depends on customer demand.
