The NRC was asked to evaluate the research and public policy issues associated with the prospective widespread use of diesel-powered light-duty vehicles in the U.S. The NRC established a Diesel impact Study Committee that formed 4 panels to examine the technological ,environmental, human health effect, and public policy issues. The Technology Panel provided the committee with a comprehensive discussion of the boundaries of technology and engineering design that might accomodate both fuel economy goals and requirements for reduction of environment and health hazards identified with the operation of diesel powered cars. Diesel engines emit higher levels of particulate and oxides of nitorgen (NOx), but lower levels of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons than the conventional catalyst-equipped gasoline engine.
