Big Cliff Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 It looks totally amazing and apparently can deliver up to 9KV for about a week at a time, that is more than enough to run an average house! As current requirements come down due to LEDs and things I can see our hydro rates going up. Less demand, less product, but those bonuses and salaries will still be there.

NANUK Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 The rumor has been circulating for a few years, its about time Honda brings diesel engine to North America. Designed by Honda, I am sure it will be unlike any diesel in this part of the world. The best part is competition and good for end consumer.

adam lancia Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I didn't read the article G.mech, I was making assumptions based off of Big Cliff's response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 This isn't any new revelation, it's just Honda's response to VW's clean diesel smoke and mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Probably won't make it to N/A. I've seen one Chev Cruze D since they came out, not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Sorry guys, my bad. I had just finished reading an article on a new Honda generator then promptly got the information mixed in with this OP. Brain overload! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Looks like MB, Mitsu, Mazda and Honda all pollute more than they say. https://www.facebook.com/topic/Auto-Emissions/109481375744144?source=whfrt&position=1&trqid=6203975480581842273 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokestackLightnin Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I like the article, it says within 3 years. It was written around the time Isuzu was going to trade 4 cylinder diesels for Honda V6 engines. Then Toyota bought part of Isuzu and squashed the deal and start developing a 4-cylinder diesel. One of the issues back in 2006 with Honda was their dealer network and the lack of trained technicians and diagnostic equipment. If you notice the article says Honda in the US which has a massive training budget when compared to Honda Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Honda couldn't meet emissions, they won't be offering a diesel here anytime soon. I've got pics of the Accord wagon diesel test car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
