Honda are looking to become the first Japanese manufacturer to produce passenger vehicles with low-pollution, fuel-efficient diesel engines according to a report. They are hoping to release these new vehicles into Japan and North America within the next few years.

The planned vehicles are meant to emit 20% less carbon dioxide than their petrol-powered equivalents and they will have substantially less emissions than other current diesel powered cars.

Honda are not the only ones looking towards a greener future -Toyota are already working on developing their current hybrid technology for their next generation cars, and Nissan are also looking to enter the green car market.
