The use of Diesel engines seems to be destined to end in a decade or so. We wonder if it is the best idea to throw the Diesel engine out of the market. Are there any arguments or defensible positions to use Diesel engines furthermore in the future? Some may argue that Diesel engines are obsolete and overpassed in efficiency by electric cars, but others may argue that compression ignited engines can be used safely and reliably in the future due to their low consumption and high energy efficiency. In the present paper we put together the ethical and technical arguments for using Diesel engines in future transportation to improve fuel efficiency. Based on experimental research and testing the vehicle in combined road traffic we have collected solid data for a comparison of the studied Diesel fuel vehicle versus electric vehicles.
