What is the Diesel Retrofit Requirement?
The B.C. Air Action Plan (www.bcairsmart.ca) released in June 2008, targets the sources of ground ozone and fine particulate matter also known as PM2.5, the two most harmful contributors to air pollution in communities province wide. Action #5 in the B.C. Air Action Plan sets out the diesel retro-fit requirement. Heavy-duty diesel vehicles will be required to be retrofitted with emissions reduction devices. The most common device is a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) filter.
