Bluetec

Citroen  
_French automaker Citroen is considering importing its vehicles to Canada, according to Ward’s Auto. “If we can homologate our cars in Canada, it’s a potential,” Frederic Banzet, vice-president-international sales told the trade publication. “We’re looking at it.”_

Chrysler DSG  
_Chrysler is planning to offer dual-clutch transmissions on many of its mid-sized vehicles in the coming years, according to trade publication Automotive News. Currently, the Volkswagen group (including Audi and Bugatti) is the only company selling vehicles with the technology in America._
