Do We Need Low Sulfer Diesel Fuel or a Hydrogen Assist Fuel Saving Device?
The Environmental Protection Agency promises to significantly reduce particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen emissions from diesel-powered off-high-way vehicles. The rules, due to be phased in from 2008 to 2014, would affect some 1 million vehicles used for construction, farming and industrial applications. The Engine Manufacturers Association calls the proposed rule “very challenging”; but promises to work with the EPA to meet the goal. Unlike diesel powerplants used for passenger vehicles, the trade group points out, non road systems have more challenging duty cycles, operate under harsher conditions, require a broader horsepower range, and are used in a wider variety of applications. The Association also notes that future U. S. regulations should be harmonized with international standards ,as they are now, because these types of engines typically are used in multiple regions. According to automakers, near-zero sulfur fuels are needed to enable the introduction of even cleaner, mor
