Clean diesels in U.S. truck fleet trending higher

By Emissions Industry Related

This is good news for our industry and the environment!

Repost from Overdrive.com:

According to new research from the Diesel Technology Forum, Class 3-8 trucks model years 2011 and newer made up 36 percent of all commercial trucks on the road at the end of last year – a jump of 6 percent over 2016 and more than 10 percent higher than 2015.

According to the report, only about 21 percent of all commercial trucks Class 3-8 use gasoline, and about 4 percent use “other” fuels. Natural gas accounts for less than 1 percent.

Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum, says the more than 4.9 million clean diesel trucks now on the road have removed more than 26 million metric tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 59 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air.

Cummins recalling half a million engines on voluntary basis due to degradation of emissions-control systems

By Emissions Industry Related

In a recent article on Overdrive Online, James Jaillet wrote about a recent emissions recall affecting a large number of Cummins engines.

“Cummins has instituted a voluntary recall of roughly 500,000 model-year 2010-2015 engines, according to an announcement from the U.S. EPA. The recall involves faulty emissions systems components that cause the engines to fall out of compliance with federal emissions regulations.

The trucks and engines under the voluntary recall have seen degradation of their selective catalytic reduction systems, according to financial reports issued by Cummins. SCR systems are the exhaust aftertreatment components that use diesel exhaust fluid to curb emissions of nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gases. All manufacturers of engines for Class 8 trucks use SCR and DEF in their emissions-control systems. Engine makers adopted the technology in 2010 to meet that year’s emissions hurdles…”

How to Navigate CARB and EPA Standards in the Emissions Industry

By Emissions Industry Related

The California Air Resources Board recently announced that JEGS Automotive, Inc. will be paying $1,700,500 for selling illegal aftermarket parts in California.

“This large settlement sends a powerful message to those in the retail community that selling aftermarket parts not approved for sale to California drivers is a risk not worth taking,” said CARB Executive Officer Richard Corey. “Our tough air quality laws exist to protect public health, and those who flout these rules can expect to be caught and pay a steep price. We commend JEGS for cooperating and are confident that the company will not repeat this costly mistake.”

This is big news in our industry and serves as a reminder of how important it is to navigate both EPA and CARB regulations, which often differ from one another.
