What: A press conference announcing the testing and development
partnership between the EPA and International Truck and
Engine Corporation concerning EPA's Clean Diesel Combustion
(CDC) technology for low-emission diesel engines. This
technology potentially will:
-- Further the viability of diesel engines in passenger
vehicles with near-zero emissions.
-- Yield cost-effective light-duty and heavy-duty diesel
power without NOx aftertreatment systems.
-- Create additional skilled jobs in the U.S. diesel
engine industry.
Why: In 2007 and 2010 EPA standards will mandate that all
on-highway diesel engines must achieve near-zero NOx
emissions. Learn how CDC technology not only will help to
meet these mandates but further increase the viability of
clean diesel technology in light-duty and heavy-duty
commercial and consumer vehicles like SUVs and passenger
cars.
The performance benefits of diesel are proven. With CDC,
diesel power will solidify its bright future as the
environmental and cost-effective choice in all types of
vehicles.
