Actually, with the exception of the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Escalade (all the same vehicle, really) diesel passenger vehicles are dead in NA. At least for now. I doubt we'll see diesels in small cars again: It's hard to sell the cost of the emissions systems in an inexpensive vehicle and the FE of current gasoline engines is close to diesel territory.
However, I think it's possible we'll see diesels again in large SUVs. Land Rover introduced a new diesel a couple years ago, indicating they're alive and well in Europe. The performance and FE of the new Range Rover diesel is impressive. And I think rising fuel prices may encourage a transition back to diesel in some applications. Not every need can be met with an EV.
Tata Motors' Range Rover brand has launched new, UK made, three litre, straight six (I6), Ingenium diesel engine options with a 48 volt mild hybrid system, supplementing plug in hybrid powertrains introduced earlier.
