According to Bosch, a realistic estimate is that diesel will be able to capture a 10% share of the light vehicle market by 2018. In 2012, 45% of all light commercial vehicles in the world were registered in North America. By comparison, in the European Union, the average number of vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants is approximately 500.

Much of the US’ new abundant domestic oil and gas supply is being produced from unconventional resources—particularly light sweet crude oil from the Bakken shale in North Dakota, as well as the Eagle Ford and Permian Basins in Texas. This rapid growth has also created challenges in moving crude oil to market. All variables matter.

The earlier 2011 Final EIS was developed contemporaneously with the start of strong growth in domestic light crude oil supply from tight oil formations, such as those formations found in North Dakota’s Bakken region. Rising domestic crude production is predominantly light crude, and it has replaced foreign imports of light crude oil.
