With the rising fuel prices as a result of increasing demand and diminishing supply, there has been rise in the need to choose a cost effective fuel for vehicles. Despite its higher price than gasoline, diesel proves to be highly efficient and cost effective. In addition, diesel enables extraction of more energy as compared to same volume of gasoline. Furthermore, diesel has a higher boiling point and is oilier than gasoline which improves engine efficiency. Thereby, diesel has become a preferred choice for both heavy-duty and light-duty vehicles across the world. Moreover, light diesel vehicles have reduced carbon emissions as compared to similar gasoline powered vehicles. Light duty diesel vehicles are widely used across the world for personal and commercial purposes. Light duty vehicles include various passenger cars, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), light weight trucks, pick-up trucks and minivans. Such vehicles are widely accepted owing to factors such as low-end power, highway driving, reliability and improved towing and transportation of goods. With more number of automobile manufacturers focusing on diesel vehicles, customers are able to choose from a wide range of vehicular design and specifications. This has further driven the popularity of light diesel vehicles across various customer segments.
