OVERVIEW

Research findings from two new studies will provide an in-depth analysis of these issues, including:

* Consumer perceptions about clean diesel fuel and technology, as well as new diesel alternatives, including fuel efficiency, environmental impact and performance.

* The role new, clean diesel fuel and engines will play in reducing America's petroleum consumption and transport-related CO2 emissions.
