FRANKFURT - General Motors has no immediate plans to offer a diesel engine for the Hummer H2 in Europe.

"We're working on it - the U.S. wants it, too," said GM Vice Chairman Robert Lutz.

Lutz said the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel will not fit under the H2's hood. That engine is offered in selected GM full-sized trucks in North America.

"We have to wait until we do an aesthetic re-do of the H2, at which point we may have to make the nose a little longer and a little higher to get the Duramax in," he said at the Frankfurt auto show.

No timetable was given for the re-engineering to accommodate the engine."
