Which is better for us and the environment? Large Trucks or Small Cars
Here is something of interest for anyone that likes the diesel power of the large truck, but wants a small car. Isuzu has teamed up with Toyota to work on developing a small diesel engine to be used in passenger cars. Their goal is to research, develop and produce environmentally friendly engines for passenger cars. While I can see where a nice extended cab would be good to have, I would much prefer to be able to drive around a small to mid-sized passenger car when I am not needing to be hauling things around.
It seems that part of the goal for Isuzu and Toyota is to have a positive impact on the global movement toward more environmentally friendly alternatives in the automobile industry. Katsuaki Watanabe, president of Toyota, states that; "Toyota sees protecting the environment as the biggest mission for an automaker." He goes on to note that hybrid technology is one effective way to protect the environment, "but given that each country has different energy policies and regulations... we believe it is necessary to further strengthen areas related to diesels."
That strengthening is something that Yoshinori Ida, president of Isuzu, sees as a benefit as well. He has indicated a feeling that the research alliance between Isuzu and Toyota will be a positive one for the diesel engine industry. Isuzu is, in fact, a leader in the design and manufacture of diesel engines. They began in 1937 as Tokyo Automobile Industries, changing their name to Isuzu in 1949, and were the only company permitted by the Japanese government in 1941 to manufacture diesel powered vehicles. Today they still stand as one of the leaders in design and manufacture of advanced diesel engines.
Ida states, "By teaming up with Toyota, I am certain that we will be able to create the world's best diesel engines." It is an alliance that he sees as not only strengthening the competitive edge of the two companies, but contributing to the global environment.
