DeNysschen: Cadillac “Definitely” Bringing Diesels to U.S. by 2020 - Truck Trend Network
Once still haunted by reliability issues of its diesel models offered in the late ’70s and early ’80s, General Motors has slowly started to embrace diesels again, starting with the Cruze compact sedan and offered soon as an option on the 2016... Yesterday, Automotive News reports that Cadillac chief Johan DeNysschen said Cadillac is definitely on board with the program as well, saying Cadillac will have several diesel models in the European market by 2019, with sales following shortly... Although GM has not said anything official on the fate of the 4. 5L Duramax V-8 , we believe it’s probably either essentially dead in terms of a production engine or will be offered as a second, more economical alternative in the HD trucks... DeNysschen has made it clear that he wants to make Cadillac more autonomous from GM as a whole, however, in the area of powertrains, it’s unlikely that Cadillac will have entirely clean-sheet engines distinct from the rest of the GM lineup.
