What Is EPA Doing To Encourage Alternatives To Diesel Engines?
The final rule includes an innovative program of voluntary standards for very low emitting engines–Blue Sky Series Engines. These engines could include those using such fuels as natural gas and propane, or diesel engines employing high-technology clean-up devices such as particulate traps. Incentives for these engines would be created by state, municipal, and business incentive programs, such as a construction company labor relations program aimed at reducing the exposure of its workers to diesel exhaust.
