"Europe's car fleets have been persistently transformed from being petrol-driven to diesel-driven over the last 20 years. This paper investigates on how this came to be and why Europe took a distinct route as compared to other parts of the world. It also attempts to evaluate the outcome of stated goals of this transformation which was primarily a robust reduction in GHG emissions. We conclude that global warming has been negatively affected, and air pollution has become alarming in many European locations. More progressive development scenarios could have prevented these outcomes. "

Thanks, interesting. These stated goals are news to me - my impression was always that diesel cars leapt in popularity across Europe because you could get double the MPG of a petrol car on longer journeys and fuel is expensive, and that modern diesels have bucketloads of torque for overtaking.
