Even if that particular study is flawed, one thing is for certain. Any vehicle that utilizes existing technology, that doesn't have to waste resources being completely 'developed', utilizes existing parts and materials that don't have to be 'developed' from scratch, and is fabricated with a majority of materials that are easily recyclable, things that can not be said about the majority of the current 'green', cars is going to be a good bet for actually being 'green' itself.............whether anyone will admit to it or not is another story.......
That said when a new, 'green' engine uses twice to three times, or more, fuel than a comparible 'old' engine design, to move half the material, should give anyone pause to think wether the technology being put into the new diesels being used in equipment is really worth it or not. Especially when the new engine has a problem and even the mfg says they don't have a scan tool available to them to work on it.......Seen it happen a few years ago as I was involved in trying to find a scanner for them and called everyone from the dealerships who didn't have the scanner to the mfg who said they only had one and it was damaged and they didn't know when they were going to be able to replace it............ With the old machines engine all you needed was a few simple hand tools, a few 'hard' speciality tools, and you could do anything needing to be done.....without needing a nonexistant computer to do it.......
