Peugeot/Citroen HDi, Renault DCi and 
can't-remember-the-name-Ford-Call-it are all common rail, but this means 
basically that it's electronically controlled direct injection. The 
VW/Audi TDi engines are also direct injection but are mechanical.

Germans are good at it too. Don't touch a Ford or Japanese one though!
