"It's something that's a strong consideration for us at this point," says John Juriga of Hyundai/Kia America. Diesel would help the group meet future fuel economy standards. While the obstacles that previously kept the brands from bringing diesel to the US in the past still exist, Juriga says they see a "more direct path" to making diesel work for them. Hyundai and Kia are also considering introducing cylinder deactivation, plug-in hybrids and 9- and 10-speed transmissions to reach fuel economy targets. <a href="http://wardsauto.com/diesel-resource-center/hyundai-kia-reconsidering-diesels-us">Read more at <em>Wards Auto</em></a>.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/15/hyundai-kia-rethinking-diesel-for-us/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Recharge Wrap-up: Hyundai and Kia rethinking diesel for US, BMW i partners with Soho House</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/15/hyundai-kia-rethinking-diesel-for-us/">Recharge Wrap-up: Hyundai and Kia rethinking diesel for US, BMW i partners with Soho House</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 15 Oct 2014 09:58:00 EST.
