Why the new engines?
The new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency require all trucks on the road use new engines that use cleaner technology and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. And clearly the data behind the regulation explains why the new regulations were needed... According to statistics from the EPA, combined truck and rail transport consume more than 35 billion gallons of diesel fuel each year, which produces more than 350 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year as well as a vast amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a contributor to ozone smog. Ground freight contributes 40% of transportation related emissions of NOx and 30% of particulate matter emissions...
Cut the idle
Unnecessary idling of diesel engines in trucks and locomotives results in: Annually, more than 1 billion gallons of diesel fuel consumed... Annually, 11 million tons of carbon dioxide, 200,000 tons of oxides of nitrogen, and 5,000 tons of particulate matter emitted... Increased engine maintenance costs and shortened engine life... Impaired driver rest and health... Elevated noise levels...
