LAST YEAR, DIESELS made up just 5.1% of the new car market, but you don’t have to go back too far to find their share at much nearer half of all sales.
Come 2030 and the ban on the sale of new cars powered by internal combustion engines, and we’ll be saying goodbye to diesel altogether. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time for caravanners to abandon diesel power. There are signs that demand for diesels on the used car market is stronger than among new car buyers, so secondhand prices remain firm.
For towing, diesel is the one to beat, providing great fuel economy and pulling power. Diesels may be a dying breed, but they have never burned fuel more cleanly or achieved better mpg.
