APPLICATION OF DIESEL ENGINES IN CARS
The increasingly greater demand for fuels and dwindling gasoline supplies are driving designers to explore new avenues in vehicle construction, or to seek blends that replace gasoline. France and Germany, as the countries with the poorest oil resources, are naturally most interested in finding new ways to achieve self-sufficiency or reduce gasoline imports. Both countries have taken different paths. In France, "gasiogens" are currently fashionable, meaning devices that use charcoal or wood to power internal combustion engines, while in Germany, diesels are engines powered by oil or gas oils. Both systems can currently be successfully used in trucks and buses, but it is only a matter of time before these modern technological achievements are applied in passenger cars.
