Overseas Diesel Makers Explore Chinese Market: ReportOverseas diesel engine makers are casting their eyes on China's huge market potential although such production is highly restricted in China.China needs more engines to provide power for the rapid growth in its transportation, construction and automotive sectors. But outdated diesel engines used in the past contributed to the country's air pollution problems and irritated people in traffic. To overcome the diesel engine's bad image in China and to promote modern engines as part of a solution, seven foreign diesel and automobile component producers inaugurated a "green diesel initiative" in China about a month ago. The companies include Cummins, DaimlerChrysler, Caterpillar, Isuzu, Bosch, Dana and Volvo Trunk. The companies advocate the adoption and strict equal enforcement of emissions standards based on an engine's performance in China. As part of the initiative, the companies will host technical seminars in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangzhou, to disseminate information about modern diesels and their advantages in emissions reduction.
