Bentley: no diesel planned, biofuels preferred

While at the top end of the car market more diesel options are being considered from manufacturers such as Porsche, Bentley has said it is unlikely to develop its own, in preference to second-generation biofuels obtained from waste materials.

The company has apparently conducted a customer opinion survey on diesel models which reveal that most are opposed to the idea. With the only true market diesel market being in Europe, any such option would be a hard sell in the US or Asia.

The entire range should, however, be running on these biofuels by 2012, along with developing a new engine for the next Arnage and Continental models.
