The concept of motor coaches belching intermittent puffs of black smoke is confined to a dusty page in history. Today’s motorcoaches use clean-diesel technology which reduces black smoke or particulate matter by as much as 90 percent and nitrogen oxides by a staggering 53 percent. The diesel engine is still the most efficient of internal combustion engines far surpassing the traditional gasoline engine or engines powered by liquefied and compressed natural gas. New emission controls systems fitted to modern diesel engines filter out black soot and other undesirable byproducts of combustion to create a cleaner exhaust gas with marginal pollutants. Oil companies have done their bit by reducing the sulfur content in diesel from 500 parts per million (ppm) to levels below 15 ppm. New research in diesel technology is further expected to reduce pollutant and particulate matter. When this is put in place, motorcoach travel will undeniably be the cleanest form of transportation on U.S. roads.
