Clean Diesel Pickup?
"Chrysler Group has the cleanest diesel pickups ready for the 2007 model year, the company announced at the 2007Washington D.C. auto show - and the clean Ram diesel will wear the Bluetec badge when it goes on sale.

The new version of the Ram sports a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine that meets the Environmental Protection Agency's 2010 rules for diesel emissions in trucks. It also meets California diesel rules, making it the first 2010-certified truck that can be sold in 50 states.

The Ram will also be the first Chrysler Group product to wear the Bluetec badge. Bluetec is the common name used by Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Volkswagen, and Audi to denote clean diesel engines that meet tough new emissions standards. The companies do not share technology under the Bluetec banner, though.

The new Dodge Ram Heavy Duty will be priced from $33,650 including destination when it arrives in showrooms in March.

Around the same time, Chrysler will begin selling the Grand Cherokee diesel. The SUV sports a Mercedes-Benz 3.0-liter turbodiesel and will be priced from $38,475." Read Article

Is the Bluetec name going to become so watered down that it will eventually apply to any diesels sold in the US? Why not just change the name of the fuel to Bluetec, make the pumps blue, and make everyone forget how dirty diesles have been for 100 years. And while you're doing all that, I'll just wait for the next gen hybrid.
