The range extender in the Volt is a Opel/Vauxhall engine. EDIT: I posted this before reading the next post on the car. OOPS My guess is that they will use a gas engine.

They were designed for the USA and it's advanced Diesel regulations. The required particulate filters will need to burn some fuel to clean them. The cleanup equipment is surely heavier, hence lower fuel economy, than an Euro legal, polluting pig, and much more costly to make. Phoney Greens of Europe are happy if you EU people get poisoned, apparently. If they were concerned, they would be pushing for improved emissions regulations, that had some teeth rather than the masquerade of EU VI. But they are not. Instead they harangue about CO2, a harmless, non toxic gas, but a great opportunity to justify raising taxes even higher. The sooner you die after retiring with degenerative diseases accumulated over a working lifetime and breathing polluted air, the more the Socialist State saves money in pensions and health-care obligations. We will enjoy your Blue Tec Diesels. Too bad you won't. What ever made you think that Mercedes ever designed the BlueTec diesels for Europeans?
