HOW WHERE WHY
Internal Combustion Engines Fit into the Future

Internal combustion engines fit into the future because of their continuous improvement, energy efficiency, and low emissions. Diesel is a key part of our sustainable energy future because of its superior performance and suitability for a wide array of low carbon renewable fuels.

Internal combustion engines fit anywhere reliable, efficient, and low-emissions power is required. They fit into the future because there will always be a situation, an application, a use, or demand for which a “new fuel or technology” might not be able to get the job done without a significant compromise or risk. Operators of commercial trucks, construction, farm, power generation, and other heavy-duty equipment, as well as larger SUVs and pickup trucks, rely on internal combustion engines.

Internal combustion engines fit into the future because of their combination of features and performance. For example, diesel delivers just what we need when we need it: efficient and near-zero emissions power. It enables progress for people as well as global economies. Diesel will help communities meet sustainability and climate resilience goals with reliable power and technology solutions.   

  • We are convinced that, in conjunction with sustainable fuels and new technologies, the internal combustion engine will play a central role in the future. Because it’s the fuel that matters, not the engine.

    Jorg Stratmann

    CEO of Rolls Royce Power Systems

  • The ICE age is not over.

    Mark Reuss

    President, GM

  • We need to make sure that with the urgency we have on global warming, that we take every option to decarbonize.

    Pierre Guyot

    Senior Vice President, John Deere Power Systems

  • There’s a lot of good work being done in the diesel space. It’s about lowering our emissions overall. Everything doesn’t have to be zero emission.

    Ray Gallant

    VP of Product Management and Productivity, Volvo Construction Equipment

  • The future is really, I think, bright for both renewable diesel and biodiesel. To meet the growing lower carbon energy demands, we're going to need all those forms of renewable fuels. So, the answer is yes, we're going to need all of the above to be able to meet those expectations.

    Kevin Lucke

    President, Chevron Renewable Energy Group

  • The journey is as important as the destination.
