What is the industry doing to continue clean diesels record of continuous improvement?
The industry remains committed to building the cleanest engines and are taking steps to lower emissions from existing fleets. New emissions control technologies such as particulate traps and catalytic converters can be used to upgrade many older diesel engines and reduce pollutants by up to 90 percent. Overall, cleaner fuels and cleaner engines will reduce particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by 98 percent from 1988 levels. The result will be the virtual elimination of emissions from on-highway engines.
