Them claiming to be working on the Diesel Technology made me laugh outloud. Here is the truth.

GM Powertrain Europe has global responsibility for small diesel engines, diesel control systems, small gasoline engines and manual transmissions. Its footprint encompasses 15 facilities in 7 European countries, employing 9,000 people and producing on average more than 17,000 engines and transmissions per day.

Who said Holden is working on small diesels? They could be considered 'medium' or 'large'.

As big a fan as you are of GME, perhaps you should remember that it is a fiefdom w/in the kingdom of GM. This kind of attitude is what got Ford into the mess it was in before Mullaly came to them.

No they are not, they don't work on diesel, only GM Powertrain Europe does. However after rereading the article, they do give credit to GME. So my apologies.

Thanks for posting this!

Holden does the coolest things, each topic is interesting and a positive read.

Beats the hell out of GMNA or GME news.

Isn't GM Daewoo (which is a part of GM Holden) also working on some diesels?

And,

It seems that HSV is in fact working with diesel technology, despite claims that they are not.
