First of all, future passenger vehicles have to stay as clean as the best vehicles out there today. Some of the best passenger vehicles today, the ones called PZEVs, are pretty close to zero emissions. We see dramatic downsizing and boosting [as] something that’s going to for gasoline engines especially. Tom Cackette.
