The Jeep Renegade combines a lithium-ion battery pack with a small-displacement BLUETEC diesel engine, which together help it achieve a fuel economy of more than 110 miles per gallon.

New diesels will get better mileage and have cleaner emissions than your average car.

While diesels make up 50% of the market share of vehicles in Europe, they’re still trying to shrug off the stigma of being dirty, noisy beasts here in the US. So what changed?

The Jeep Renegade Concept with its 110 mpg rating has been unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show and is set to transform the industry.
