Neutrality problem
This article is full of bias. This is probably the worst offender : "Today the cars that produce the lowest CO2/km in emissions, lower than hybrids, and much lower than very inefficient electric cars (when generation and grid transmission losses are taken into account), are the most advanced compact European diesel cars.". The whole article is to be cleaned up and rewrote neutrally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.185.152.65 (talk) 20:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Rewrite
This article has a lot of useful information, but it needs to be very much cleaned up and possibly rewritten. It's partly written in the first person in the 1990s-present section. --96.40.226.114 (talk) 05:41, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

history
what about herbert akroyd stuarts compression ignition automobile (aka diesel car) that was definitely pre 1933 as he died in 1928

the article may well mention the first mass production diesel car but not the first ever — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.221.131.231 (talk) 16:49, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Sources? Earliest I've got is a 1933 Bentley with a Perkins in it, and there was also the substantial collaboration between Citroen and George Eyston. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:57, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

factual and historical update
"Today the cars that produce the lowest CO2/km in emissions, lower than hybrids, are the most advanced compact European diesel cars." Not according to the latest data from: http://www.nextgreencar.com/emissions/low-emission-cars/

A reference to the VW diesel emissions scandal should be added to the Modern History section and cross referenced to: []
