摘要

"Those OEMs with experience and manufacturing investment in diesel will use it to fulfil CO2 requirements; those with less of a diesel heritage will look for the cheapest way. And in North America diesel isn't well received in cars. In Japan we'll have more gasoline hybrids than diesel vehicles. So to meet CO2 legislation there will be a growing proportion of mild hybrids but in competition with diesels.
