While
VW,
Audi,
Mercedes-Benz and even
Jeep will market
diesel vehicles with BLUETEC technology in the U.S. soon,
BMW will go its own way. BMW wants to develop a urea-based technology to reduce NOx before making a sustained push here with
diesel products. The company already offers a number of
diesel cars in Europe where emissions standards aren't as tough. BLUETEC with AdBlue, which was developed by
Mercedes and Bosch, meets strict 2009 U.S. standards. AdBlue uses urea-based additives to cut NOx emissions as well. But a BMW spokesperson said the company is "thinking of a name that is different than BLUETEC."
