Flexible imaginative power, standing on a global viewpoint, creates new ideas that lead us to the creation of new technology. Satisfying excellent products can only be manufactured when such imaginative power that humans have and the insatiable inventive creativity combine together. At Daihatsu Diesel, based on these ideas, we seek absorption and deployment of advanced technology in the advanced information-oriented society, and aiming at technical development of imagination and creativity focusing on the needs of the age, we work hard day and night on research and development. We approach the new technical creation and new field by capturing these research and development from a wide viewpoint and at the same time, improving the know-how we have accumulated as a pioneer company and make approach to new technical creation and field.

New Clean Fuel 'Dimethyl ether (DME)' of the 21st century

DME is a reformed fuel using natural gas as raw material. It is gas at normal temperature, but when pressurized, it changes to liquid. One of its greatest features is non-generation of sulphur oxide (SOx) which is a cause of air pollution.

  • Physical properties similar to propane gas (LPG)
  • Liquefies at atmospheric pressure of about 6 and transportation and storage are easy
  • Human toxicity is extremely low
  • No worry of ozone depletion or global warming
  • Clean fuel not containing sulphur
  • Clean diesel fuel
  • Promising as a hydrogen carrier for fuel cell
