I was at a Tucson MBCA club meeting held at the Tucson MB dealership for a tour of their dealership. While we were there the parts dept rep mentioned that they provide SMART Diesel parts to the Drone program. So the Diesel SMART is in use in the USA... just a little different than we all thought.

If our charming government uses it for itself, why can't they certify the engine for automotive use in the USA? Go figure!

I guess that the fuel effiency is what helps the Drone up in the air for so long.
